Keeping Your Outdoor Fountain Tidy

Keeping Outdoor Fountain Tidy 52901290906347.jpg Keeping Your Outdoor Fountain Tidy Water fountains will last a long time with scheduled cleaning and maintenance. It is important to clean it out and take out any debris or foreign elements that might have dropped into or onto it. Another factor is that water that is exposed to sunlight is prone to growing algae. To stay clear of this, take vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or sea salt and add directly into the water. Some people opt for pouring bleach into the water, but the drawback is that it harms wildlife - so it should be avoided.

Experts suggest that the typical garden fountain undergoes a thorough cleaning every 3-4 months. The initial task is to get rid of all of the water. Then use a soft towel and mild cleanser to scrub the inside. Feel free to use a toothbrush if helpful for any tiny crevasses. Any soap residue that remains on your fountain can harm it, so be sure it is all rinsed off.

It is highly suggested taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and get rid of any plankton or calcium. You might want to let it soak in vinegar for a few hours to make it quicker to wash. Neither rain water nor mineral water contain ingredients that will collect inside the pump, so use either over tap water if possible.

Finally, be sure to have a quick look at your fountain daily and add water if you see that the level is too low. If the water level falls below the pump’s intake level, it can hurt the pump and cause it to burn out - something you do not want to happen!

"Primitive" Greek Art: Outdoor Statuary

"Primitive" Greek Art: Outdoor Statuary Archaic Greeks were known for creating the first freestanding statuary; up till then, most carvings were made out of walls and pillars as reliefs. Most of these freestanding sculptures were what is known as kouros figures, statues of young, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks. Representing beauty to the Greeks, the kouroi were made to look stiff and commonly had foot forward; the males were healthy, powerful, and naked. Around 650 BC, life-sized versions of the kouroi began to be seen. The Archaic period was turbulent for the Greeks as they evolved into more polished forms of government and art, and acquired more data about the peoples and societies outside of Greece. Nonetheless, the Greek civilization was not slowed down by these struggles.
