Green Outdoor Wall Fountains

Green Outdoor Wall Fountains Do you want to make your personal space just a little more stunning? Well, think about adding beauty and value to your residence by installing a solar powered water fountain. They offer all the great benefits of electric fountains, such as improving health and general well-being but they also provide tremendous financial perks. Despite initial expenses, the long-term expense for this type of fountain is worth it. Because your fountain will not be fueled by electrical energy, there will be no need to worry about any power shortages.

Running water fountains means that your use of electricity will increase and thus your monthly bill. Keep in mind that while you may not notice any rewards 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 damages our eco-system.

The eco-system can only benefit from the use of solar powered houses and water fountains.

Less maintenance is a benefit of installing this kind of fountain. Since solar fountains don't have motors, they don't get clogged which leads to less cleaning. Which ultimately means more time to relax in your yard.

The Source of Modern Day Outdoor Water Fountains

The Source of Modern Day Outdoor Water Fountains Pope Nicholas V, himself a well educated man, reigned the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455 during which time he commissioned many translations of old classic Greek documents into Latin. It was important for him to beautify the city of Rome to make it worthy of being known as the capital of the Christian world. Starting in 1453, the ruined ancient Roman aqueduct known as the Aqua Vergine which had brought fresh drinking water into the city from eight miles away, underwent restoration at the behest of the Pope. Building a mostra, a grandiose celebratory fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the entry point of an aqueduct, was a custom revived by Nicholas V. The present-day site of the Trevi Fountain was previously occupied by a wall fountain commissioned by the Pope and constructed by the architect Leon Battista Alberti. The aqueduct he had refurbished included modifications and extensions which eventually allowed it to supply water to the Trevi Fountain as well as the famed baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona.
