Eco-Friendly Outdoor Wall Fountains

Your monthly electric bill will most probably increase with running water fountains. Keep in mind that while you may not notice any advantages right away, your home will be worth more down the road.
The increased expenses resulting from using more electricity is not the only factor, it also harms our eco-system. Solar driven water fountains are a good alternative to becoming “green”. The eco-system can only benefit from the use of solar powered homes and water fountains.
This type of fountain needs less maintenance than others. Clogs don't occur since there is no motor - which leads to less cleaning. Which ultimately means more time to chill out in your yard.
Where did Large Garden Fountains Come From?

From the onset, outdoor fountains were simply there to serve as functional elements. Water fountains were linked to a spring or aqueduct to provide drinkable water as well as bathing water for cities, townships and villages. Used until the 19th 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 the power of gravity. Designers thought of fountains as amazing additions to a living space, however, the fountains also served to supply clean water and honor the artist responsible for building it. The main materials used by the Romans to build their fountains were bronze or stone masks, mostly illustrating animals or heroes. Muslims and Moorish landscaping designers of the Middle Ages included fountains to re-create smaller models 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 extolled with baroque style fountains constructed to mark the arrival points of Roman aqueducts.
Since indoor plumbing became the standard of the day for clean, drinking water, by the end of the 19th century urban fountains were no longer needed for this purpose and they became purely decorative. Amazing water effects and recycled water were made possible by replacing the force of gravity with mechanical pumps.
These days, fountains adorn public spaces and are used to honor individuals or events and fill recreational and entertainment needs.
