Installation and Maintenance of Landscape Fountains
Installation and Maintenance of Landscape Fountains A very important first step is to think about the dimensions of the outdoor wall fountain with regards to the space you have available for it. In order to support its total weight, a solid wall is necessary. Also keep in mind that small areas or walls will need to have a lightweight fountain. In order for the fountain to have power, a nearby electrical socket is needed. Whatever the style of outdoor wall fountain you choose, they generally come with easy to understand, step-by-step instructions. Most outdoor wall fountains are available in easy-to-use kits that will give you everything 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 can usually be hidden away among your garden plants if it is not too large. Since outdoor wall fountains need little maintenance, the only thing left to do is clean it consistently.
Change the water frequently so it is always clean. Leaves, branches or dirt are types of debris which should be cleared away quickly. Protecting your outdoor wall fountain from the freezing winter climate 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 the right servicing and care.
