Keep Your Outdoor Water fountain Tidy
Water fountains will last a very long time with routine cleaning and maintenance. Leaves, twigs, and bugs very often find their way into fountains, so it is vital to keep yours free from such debris. Also, algae has a tendency to build up wherever natural light meets water. To prevent this, take vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or sea salt and add right into the water. Another option is to mix bleach into the water, but this action can hurt wild animals and so should really be avoided. A thorough cleaning every three-four months is recommended for garden fountains. Before you can start washing it you need to empty out all of the water. Then use a soft cloth and gentle cleanser to scrub the inside. A useful tip is to use a toothbrush if there are little hard-to-reach spots. Make sure all the soap is properly rinsed off.
Make sure you get rid of any calcium or plankton by taking the pump apart and washing the inside thoroughly. To make it less difficult, soak it in vinegar for a while before cleaning. If you want to remove build-up in your fountain, use rain water or mineral water rather than tap water, as these don’t contain any ingredients that will stick to the inside of the pump.
Lastly, make sure your fountain is always full by checking on it every day - this will keep it in tip-top condition. Permitting the water level to get too low can result in damage to the pump - and you certainly don't want that!
Water-lifting Tool by Camillo Agrippa
Water-lifting Tool by Camillo Agrippa In 1588, Agrippa’s water-lifting innovation lured the attention and compliments of Andrea Bacci but that turned out to be one of the last references of the technology. It may have become obsolete when the Villa Medici was in a position to get water from the Acqua Felice, the early contemporary channel, in 1592. Though it is more likely that it was merely discarded when Ferdinando relinquished his cardinalship and returned back to Florence, securing his place as the Grand Duke of Tuscany, after the loss of his sibling, Francesco di Medici, in 1588. Renaissance gardens of the late sixteenth century happened to be home to works including music water fountains, scenographic water demonstrations and water caprices (giochi d’acqua), but these were not filled with water in ways that violated gravitation itself.
