Caring For Large Outdoor Fountains A crucial first step before installing any outdoor wall fountain is to consider the space you have available. A strong wall is definitely needed to hold up its overall weight. Note that small areas or walls will require a lightweight fountain. In order for the fountain to have power, a nearby electrical outlet is needed. Whatever the style of outdoor wall fountain you choose, they generally come with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions.

Most outdoor wall fountains come in "for-dummies" style kits that will provide you all you need to properly install it. In the kit you will find all the needed elements: a submersible pump, hoses and basin, or reservoir. The basin, if it's not too large, can easily be concealedin your garden among the plants. Once your wall fountain is installed, all that is required is regular cleaning and some light maintenance.

It is vital to replenish the water consistently so that it remains clean. It is important to quickly clear away debris such as leaves, twigs or other dreck. Extremely cold temperatures can damage your outdoor wall fountain so be sure to protect it during wintertime. In order to avoid any damage, such as cracking, from freezing water during the cold winter season, move your pump inside. To sum up, your outdoor wall fountain will continue to be an amazing add-on to your garden if you keep it well looked after and well maintained.

The First Modern Wall Fountains

The First Modern Wall Fountains Hundreds of classic Greek documents were translated into Latin under the authority of the scholarly Pope Nicholas V, who ruled the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455. In order to make Rome deserving of being the capital of the Christian world, the Pope resolved to enhance the beauty of the city. At the bidding of the Pope, the Aqua Vergine, a ruined aqueduct which had transported clean drinking water into Rome from eight miles away, was restored starting in 1453. The ancient Roman tradition of building an awe-inspiring commemorative fountain at the location where an aqueduct arrived, also known as a mostra, was revived by Nicholas V. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was commissioned by the Pope to build a wall fountain where we now find the Trevi Fountain. The aqueduct he had refurbished included modifications and extensions which eventually enabled it to supply water to the Trevi Fountain as well as the famed baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona.
