Keep Your Fountain Clean

Keep Your Fountain Clean Water fountains will last a very long time with scheduled cleaning and maintenance. It is important to clean it out and remove any debris or foreign objects that might have fallen into or onto it. Additionally, anywhere light from the sun combines with still water, algae can develop. To stay clear of this, take vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or sea salt and add directly into the water.

There are those who prefer to use bleach, but that is dangerous to any animals that might drink or bathe in the water - so should therefore be avoided.

Experts suggest that the typical garden fountain undergoes a thorough scouring every 3-4 months. Before you can start cleaning it you need to empty out all of the water. As soon as it is empty, clean inside the reservoir with a mild cleanser. If there are any little grooves, work with a toothbrush to reach every spot. Be sure to completely rinse the inside of the fountain to make sure all the soap is gone.

It is highly advised taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and eliminate any plankton or calcium. Letting it soak in vinegar for a couple of hours first will make it much easier to clean. Mineral or rain water, versus tap water, is ideal in order to eliminate any build-up of chemicals inside the pump.

One final recommendation for keeping your fountain in top working shape is to check the water level every day and make sure it is full. Allowing the water to go below the pump’s intake level, can cause severe damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!

The Source of Today's Wall Fountains

The Source of Today's Wall Fountains Hundreds of ancient Greek documents were translated into Latin under the auspices of the scholarly Pope Nicholas V, who led the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455. In order to make Rome worthy of being the capital of the Christian world, the Pope decided to enhance the beauty of the city. Starting in 1453, the ruined ancient Roman aqueduct known as the Aqua Vergine which had brought clean drinking water into the city from eight miles away, underwent restoration at the behest of the Pope. Building a mostra, an imposing commemorative fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the arrival point of an aqueduct, was a tradition revived by Nicholas V. The Trevi Fountain now occupies the space formerly filled with a wall fountain built by Leon Battista Albert, an architect employed by the Pope. Changes and extensions, included in the restored aqueduct, eventually supplied the Trevi Fountain and the well-known baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Navona with the necessary water supply.
