Setting Up and Maintaining Outdoor Garden Fountains
Setting Up and Maintaining Outdoor Garden Fountains Installing an outdoor wall fountain requires that you take into account the dimensions of the space where you are going to place it. It will require a very strong wall to support its total weight. Note that small areas or walls will require a lightweight fountain. You will need to have an electrical socket in proximity to the fountain so it can be powered. Most outdoor wall fountains come with simple, step-by-step instructions according to the type of fountain. The general outdoor wall fountain is available in an easy-to-use kit that comes with everything you need and more to properly install it. A submersible pump, hoses and basin, or reservoir, are included in the kit. The basin can usually be hidden away among your garden plants if it is not too large. Once your wall fountain is installed, all that is required is regular cleaning and some light maintenance.
Replenishing and cleaning the water on a consistent basis is very important. Remember to remove debris like leaves, twigs or dirt as fast as possible. Safeguarding your outdoor wall fountain from the cold winter weather is vital. In order to avoid any damage, such as cracking, from freezing water during the cold winter months, move your pump indoors. All in all, an outdoor wall fountain can last for any number of years with proper servicing and cleaning.
