It is important to carefully maintain water fountains for them to work properly. It is essential to clean it out and get rid of any debris or foreign objects that might have dropped into or onto it. On top of that, algae can be a problem, as sun hitting the water enables it to form quickly. To avoid this, take vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or sea salt and add directly into the water. Bleach can also be put into the water, but this is not an ideal option as it can sicken birds or other animals.

A complete cleaning every 3-4 months is best for garden fountains. The first step is to get rid of all of the water. Then use mild soap and a soft sponge to clean the innner part of the reservoir. Feel free to use a toothbrush if helpful for any tiny crevasses. Do not leave any soap deposits inside of or on the fountain.

Make sure you get rid of any calcium or plankton by taking the pump apart and cleaning the inside properly. Letting it soak in vinegar for a few hours first will make it much easier to clean. Mineral or rain water, versus tap water, is ideal in order to avoid any build-up of chemicals inside the pump.

And finally, make sure the water level is consistently full in order to keep your fountain operating optimally. Allowing the water to go below the pump’s intake level, can cause serious damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!

Water Delivery Solutions in Early Rome

Water Delivery Solutions in Early Rome Prior to 273, when the first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was built in Roma, residents who dwelled on hills had to journey further down to gather their water from natural sources. Throughout this time period, there were only two other innovations capable of supplying water to elevated areas, subterranean wells and cisterns, which amassed rainwater. In the very early sixteenth century, the city began to utilize the water that ran below the ground through Acqua Vergine to provide water to Pincian Hill. As originally constructed, the aqueduct was provided along the length of its channel with pozzi (manholes) constructed at regular intervals. During the some 9 years he owned the residence, from 1543 to 1552, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi made use of these manholes to take water from the channel in containers, though they were previously established for the purpose of cleaning and maintaining the aqueduct. Reportedly, the rainwater cistern on his property wasn’t good enough to meet his needs. That is when he decided to create an access point to the aqueduct that ran underneath his property.
