A Wall Water Feature to Fit Your Design
A Wall Water Feature to Fit Your Design Placing a wall fountain in your backyard or patio is ideal when you want to relax. Even a little space can include a custom-made one.
Whether it is stand alone or mounted, you will need a spout, a water bowl, internal piping, and a pump. Traditional, modern, classic, and Asian are just a few of the styles from which you can consider. Also knownas a floor fountain, a stand-alone wall fountain is normally rather large, and its basin is installed on the ground.
On the other hand, a fountain affixed to a wall can be added onto an existing wall or fit into a new wall. The look of your landscape will seem more cohesive instead of disjointed when you install this kind of fountain.
Keep Your Outdoor Garden Fountain Clean
Keep Your Outdoor Garden Fountain Clean
In order to ensure that water fountains last a long time, it is important to perform regular maintenance. It is easy for foreign objects to find their way into outdoor fountains, so keeping it clean is essential. Another factor is that water that is subjected to sunlight is prone to growing algae. To avoid this, take vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or sea salt and add straight into the water. Some people opt for putting bleach into the water, but the problem is that it harms wildlife - so it should be avoided. Experts advise that the typical garden fountain undergoes a thorough scrubbing every three-four months. First you must drain the water. When you have done this, scrub inside the water reservoir with a mild detergent. A useful tip is to use a toothbrush if there are little hard-to-reach spots. Make sure all the soap is completely washed off.
Calcium and fresh water organisms can get inside the pump, so you should really disassemble it to get it truly clean. Soaking it in vinegar for a time will make it easier to wash. Mineral or rain water, versus tap water, is ideal in order to eliminate any build-up of chemicals inside the pump.
Finally, be sure to have a quick look at your fountain daily and add water if you notice that the level is depleted. Allowing the water to go below the pump’s intake level, can cause severe damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!
