Setting Up and Maintaining Large Outdoor Fountains
Setting Up and Maintaining Large Outdoor Fountains A very important first step is to think about the size of the outdoor wall fountain with regards to the area you have available for it. In order to hold up its total weight, a solid wall is needed.
Therefore for smaller areas or walls, a lightweight feature is going to be more suitable. You will need to have an electrical plug in the vicinity of the fountain so it can be powered. Most outdoor wall fountains include simple, step-by-step instructions according to the type of fountain. Generally, when you purchase an outdoor wall fountain, it will come in an easy-to-use kit that will include all the information needed to install it properly. In the kit you will find all the needed essentials: a submersible pump, hoses and basin, or reservoir. The basin, if it's not too large, can easily be hiddenin your garden among the plants. Once installed, wall fountains typically only require some light upkeep and regular cleaning.
Replace and clean the water on a regular schedule. Remember to get rid of debris like leaves, twigs or dirt as quickly as possible. Excessively cold temperatures can affect your outdoor wall fountain so be sure to protect it during winer. In order to avoid any damage, such as cracking, from freezing water during the cold winter months, relocate your pump indoors. The bottom line is that if you properly maintain and care for your outdoor fountain, it will bring you joy for many years.

The more plausible reason is that the system was discontinued when Franceso di Medici, Ferdinando’s brotherdied in 1588, leading him to give up his job as cardinal and go back to Florence where he received the throne as the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
It might go against the force of gravity to raise water to Renaissance landscapes, supplying them in a way other late 16th century concepts like scenographic water presentations, music fountains and giochi d’acqua or water caprices, were not.
