Keep Your Fountain Tidy
Keep Your Fountain Tidy Water fountains will last a long time with scheduled cleaning and maintenance. Leaves, twigs, and bugs very often find their way into fountains, so it is essential to keep yours free from such things. Also, algae is likely to build up any place natural light meets water.
Experts recommend that the typical garden fountain undergoes a thorough scouring every 3-4 months. First off you must drain the water. Then use a soft rag and mild cleanser to scrub the inside. Feel free to use a toothbrush if needed for any tiny crevasses. Be sure to carefully rinse the interior of the fountain to make sure all the soap is gone.
It is highly recommended taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and get rid of any plankton or calcium. To make it less difficult, soak it in vinegar for several hours before cleaning. 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 too low. Allowing the water to reach below the pump’s intake level, can cause serious damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!
A Wall Fountain to Fit Your Design
A Wall Fountain to Fit Your Design Placing a wall fountain in your yard or patio is perfect when you want to relax. Moreover, it can be designed to fit into any wall space since it does not occupy much room. Whether it is stand alone or fitted, you will need a spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump. There are any number of models to pick from such as traditional, contemporary, classic, or Asian.Normally quite big, freestanding wall fountains, also referred to as floor fountains, have their basins on the ground.
It is possible to integrate a wall-mounted water feature onto an already existent wall or built into a new wall. This style of fountain contributes to a cohesive look making it seem as if it was part of the landscape rather than an added feature.
