A Smaller Garden Space? Don't Fret! You Can Still Have a Water Feature
A Smaller Garden Space? Don't Fret! You Can Still Have a Water Feature Since water makes a reflection, smaller spaces will appear larger. Augmenting the reflective attributes of a fountain or water feature are possible by using dark materials. Night time is a great occasion to draw attention to the lighted, colored underwater lights in your new water feature.
Eco-lights fueled by sunlight can be used during the day whereas you can use lights to jazz up your garden at night. Natural therapies use them because they release a soothing effect which helps to relieve stress as well as anxiety. Water just blends into the greenery in your yard. Your pond, artificial waterway, or fountain is the perfect feature to draw people’s interest. The versatility of water features is that they can be set up in large backyards as well as in small verandas. The best way to perfect the atmosphere, position it in a good place and use the right accompaniments.
Keeping Your Garden Fountain Clean
Keeping Your Garden Fountain Clean
Water fountains will keep working a very long time with scheduled cleaning and maintenance. Leaves, twigs, and insects very often find their way into fountains, so it is essential to keep yours free from such things. Also, algae has a tendency to build up any place natural light meets water. To avoid this, take vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or sea salt and add directly into the water. There are those who like to use bleach, but that is hazardous to any animals that might drink or bathe in the water - so should therefore be avoided. Every three-four months, garden fountains should go through a decent cleaning. First off you must empty the water. Once it is empty, wash inside the reservoir with a mild cleanser. If there is detailed artwork, you might need to use a toothbrush for those hard-to-reach areas. Do not leave any soap deposit inside or on the fountain.
Calcium and fresh water organisms can get inside the pump, so you should disassemble it to get it truly clean. Soaking it in vinegar for a bit will make it easier to scrub. Build-up can be a big headache, so use mineral or rain water over tap water, when possible, to reduce this dilemma.
Lastly, make sure your fountain is always full by looking at it every day - this will keep it in tip-top condition. If the water level falls below the pump’s intake level, it can harm the pump and cause it to burn out - something you do not want to happen!
