Installation and Maintenance of Large Outdoor Fountains
Installation and Maintenance of Large Outdoor Fountains
Generally, when you purchase an outdoor wall fountain, it will come in an easy-to-use kit that will include all the information needed to install it correctly. The kit will include a submersible pump, the hoses and basin (or reservoir). If the size is appropriate, the basin can be hidden away amongst your garden plants. Once your wall fountain is in place, all that is needed is regular cleaning and some light maintenance.
Replace and clean the water on a regular basis. Leaves, branches or dirt are examples of debris which should be cleared away quickly. Excessively cold temperatures can affect 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 indoors. All in all, an outdoor wall fountain can last for any number of years with the right upkeep and cleaning.

There are two distinct styles of fountains you can buy: mounted and free-standing. You can hang a mounted wall fountain because they are little and self-contained. Normally made of resin (to resemble stone) or fiber glass, these kinds of fountains are lightweight and easy to hang. Floor fountains are freestanding, large, and also have a basin on the floor as well as a flat side against the wall. Normally made of cast stone, these water features have no weight restrictions.
Landscape professionals often recommend a custom-built fountain for a brand new or existing wall. Hiring an expert mason is your best option to build the basin and install the required plumbing. You will need to incorporate a spout or fountain mask into the wall. If you want a cohesive look for your garden, buy a customized wall fountain because it becomes part of the panorama rather than a later addition.
