Facts About Rock Water Fountains

By Kenneth Kennedy


When most people think of water fountains, they imagine big outdoor structures that handle thousands of gallons of water. However, what such people fail to understand is that even small well-design rock water fountains can provide enough visual and auditory impact. Fountains can be designed for both indoor and outdoor settings. When designed for indoor settings, it is important that they are designed to match the theme and decor of the space.

The design is an important thing to consider before one sets up a fountain. There are a number of designs to choose from. There are custom made designs made to suit the preference of the client. There are a number of companies that offer custom made designs of fountains for corporate and individual clients. After one has selected a preferred design the next step is to find a professional to construct and set up the fountain.

Installation needs to be done in the right place especially if the fountain is to be set up permanently. Relocating an already set up structure may cost the same as setting up a new one. It is therefore important to first find the right spot to set up the fountain. The spot selected needs to be located at a central place to attract attention and enhance beauty.

These structures need to be well maintained. One needs to make sure there is always enough waters in the fountain. A pump is used to pump liquid from the basin to create a splash to the ground by gravity. The pumps may be powered by fuels such as gasoline or electricity. It is therefore important to ensure there is always enough water for the pump to function well.

Lack of waters will cause the pump to burn out. Water is important because it helps in cooling and keeping the pump functioning properly. One should continuously check for the level of the water so that they can refill it in case it drops too low. Sources of water loss from fountains are many, and they include evaporation.

Animals may also be a source of water loss for fountains installed in outdoor spaces. These watering sources attract pets, birds, domestic, and wild animals. As a result, fountains become their drinking source and they are drawn to it. This can significantly lower the liquid level instantaneously.

Cleaning the entire structure every once in a while is also very important. Dust and other kinds of dirt may accumulate in the fountain after some period of time, and must be removed to keep the structure properly functional. The dirt may come from the environment or may be introduced by animals and children.

Components of a fountain include taps, pumps and pipes among others. There are chances of these components to undergo wear and tear with time. It is important to ensure they are repaired or replaced by a professional when they get damaged. The structure also needs to be inspected regularly in order to identify any issues that may arise.
