The Original Outdoor Water Feature DesignersOriginal Outdoor Water Feature Designers 4316490667344523.jpg Multi-talented people, fountain artists from the 16th to the late 18th century often functioned as architects, sculptors, artists, engineers and highly educated scholars all in one person. Throughout the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci exemplified the artist as an inspired genius, inventor and scientific virtuoso. He methodically registered his examinations in his now famed notebooks about his research into the forces of nature and the attributes and mobility of water. Innovative water exhibits complete with symbolic significance and natural charm transformed private villa settings when early Italian fountain creators fused resourcefulness with hydraulic and gardening expertise. The humanist Pirro Ligorio, celebrated for his virtuosity in archeology, architecture and garden design, offered the vision behind the wonders in Tivoli. Masterminding the excellent water marbles, water features and water jokes for the numerous properties in the vicinity of Florence, other water feature designers were well versed in humanistic subjects as well as classical technical texts.

A Solar Energy Powered Water Wall Fountain

Solar Energy Powered Water Wall Fountain 65575064493334828.jpg A Solar Energy Powered Water Wall Fountain Do you want to make your personal space just a little more stunning? Well, you can add that extra touch and augment the value of your home just by adding a solar water fountain. Solar powered water features can be a better investment versus electric ones because they not only improve one's health but they offer other interesting financial perks. While your initial expenditures may be steeper, the long-term savings are great. Despite occasional power shortages, your fountain will not be affected as it does not run on electricity.

Your monthly electric bill will most probably increase with running water fountains. Even though you might not instantly notice the short-term benefits, remember that your residence will undoubtedly gain in value in the long-run.

Spending more money on our electric bills is not the only downside - the environment is negatively affected too. Becoming “green” is just one of the pros of setting up a solar water fountain running only on the power of the sun. Using solar energy to heat or cool your home is much better for our planet.

Less maintenance is a benefit of adding this kind of fountain. Since solar fountains don't have motors, they don't get clogged which leads to little cleaning. And less cleaning means more time to play!
