A Solar Powered Outdoor Garden Fountain

Running water fountains means that your use of electricity will increase and thus your monthly bill. Even though short-term expenses might be higher than you had anticipated, don't forget that your home is increasing in value.

The increased costs resulting from using more electricity is not the only factor, it also harms our eco-system. Solar powered water fountains are a good alternative to becoming “green”. Using solar energy to run our homes as well as a water feature is important because it also safeguards our environment.

This kind of fountain demands less upkeep than others. As there is no electrical motor that can get clogged, little cleaning is needed. And since there is little cleaning to do, you will have more time to enjoy yourself!

Contemporary Garden Decoration: Fountains and their Beginnings

From the beginning, outdoor fountains were soley there to serve as functional elements. Cities, towns and villages made use of nearby aqueducts or springs to provide them with drinking water as well as water where they could bathe or wash. Used until the nineteenth century, in order for fountains to flow or shoot up into the air, their source of water such as reservoirs or aqueducts, had to be higher than the water fountain in order to benefit from gravity. Artists thought of fountains as amazing additions to a living space, however, the fountains also served to provide clean water and celebrate the artist responsible for creating it. Roman fountains usually depicted imagery of animals or heroes made of metal or stone masks. During the Middle Ages, Muslim and Moorish garden planners incorporated fountains to create mini depictions of the gardens of paradise. The fountains found in the Gardens of Versailles were supposed to show the power over nature held by King Louis XIV of France. The Popes of the 17th and 18th centuries were glorified with baroque style fountains built to mark the arrival points of Roman aqueducts.

The end of the 19th century saw the increase in usage of indoor plumbing to provide drinking water, so urban fountains were relegated to strictly decorative elements. Amazing water effects and recycled water were made possible by replacing the power of gravity with mechanical pumps.

Beautifying city parks, honoring people or events and entertaining, are some of the uses of modern-day fountains.
