Installation and Maintenance of Landscape Fountains

Installation and Maintenance of Landscape Fountains A very important first step is to consider the proportions of the outdoor wall fountain with regards to the space you have available for it. It is essential that the wall where you are going to put it is strong enough to support its weight. Therefore for smaller areas or walls, a light fountain is going to be more appropriate. You will need to have an electrical socket in the vicinity of the fountain so it can be powered. There are many different styles of fountains, each with their own set of simple, step-by-step instructions.

Generally, when you purchase an outdoor wall fountain, it will come in an easy-to-use kit that will include all the needed information to install it properly. The kit will contain a submersible pump, the hoses and basin (or reservoir). Depending on its size, the basin can normally be hidden quite easily amongst the plants. Since outdoor wall fountains need little care, the only thing left to do is clean it regularly.

Replace and clean the water on a regular basis. It is important to quickly remove debris such as leaves, twigs or other dreck. Protecting your outdoor wall fountain from the cold winter climate is vital. In order to avoid any damage, such as cracking, from freezing water during the cold winter season, move 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.
