The One Cleaning Solution to NEVER Use On Your Garden Wall Fountains Water fountains will last a long time with routine cleaning and maintenance. It is essential to clean it out and remove any debris or foreign elements that might have fallen into or onto it. On top of that, algae can be a problem, because sun hitting the water allows it to form easily. Mix hydrogen peroxide, sea salt, or vinegar into the water to avoid this particular issue. Another option is to stir bleach into the water, but this action can sicken wild animals and so should really be avoided.

Every three-four months, garden fountains should have a serious cleaning. Before cleaning, all of the water must be taken out. Once it is empty, wash inside the reservoir with a mild cleanser. If there are any tiny grooves, work with a toothbrush to get each and every spot. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the inner surface of the fountain to make sure all the soap is gone.

Various organisms and calcium deposits can get inside the pump, so it is advised to take it apart and clean it thoroughly. To make it less strenuous, soak it in vinegar for a while before cleaning. If you want to minimize build-up in your fountain, use rain water or mineral water rather than tap water, as these don’t contain any ingredients that might stick to the inside of the pump.

One final tip for keeping your fountain in top working condition is to check the water level every day and make sure it is full. Allowing the water level to get too low can cause damage to the pump - and you certainly do not want that!

Water-lifting System by Camillo Agrippa

Water-lifting System by Camillo Agrippa In 1588, Agrippa’s water-lifting invention lured the attention and compliments of Andrea Bacci but that turned out to be one of the final mentions of the mechanism. It could perhaps be that in 1592 when Rome’s latest waterway, the Acqua Felice, started delivering the Villa Medici, there was no longer much use for the system. The more likely reason is that the device was discontinued when Franceso di Medici, Ferdinando’s siblingpassed away in 1588, leading him to give up his role as cardinal and go back to Florence where he took the throne as the Grand Duke of Tuscany. While there were various other relevant water-driven creations either designed or built during the latter part of the sixteenth century, such as scenographic water displays, giochi d’acqua or water caprices, and musical water features, none were fed by water like Agrippa’s technology.
