An indoor water fountain is a sculpture of waterfall where water flows and emerges into the reservoir. How does indoor water fountain work? In the simple principle of gravity the water flowing from the water fountain is being pulled down. Technically, an indoor water fountain may have sorts of illusions where there is an endless flow of water coming in and out without the visibility of the upstream source. Compared to fountains from nature, the water just flows back the upstream and flows over and over again.

The closed-loop system of indoor water fountains is self-contained whereas the water that is constantly circulating is from the hidden submersible pump. This pump is the one pulling the water from the receiving reservoir as it carries upward to the head of the fountain through a tube. These acts are repeatedly done continuously by the system and the rest of is being done by the gravity.

Owning or installing an indoor water fountain is very beneficial in various ways. Aside from the physical and mental benefits it brings, it also allows people to reconnect with the nature. Because of the many benefits it brings, some people have labeled it as “fountain therapy”. Indoor water fountains serve as natural humidifiers that add water vapor into the air resulting to a more hospitable and friendlier environment for everyone even on plants and animals. Indoor water fountains are great works of arts that add audible and visual interests to any environment settings. There are times that indoor water fountains are even built with huge pieces.

In selecting an indoor water fountain you need to decide accordingly on the importance of installation, complementation with the existing decorations, sizing, sounds, styles, materials, location or setting. The installation of indoor water fountains is relatively very easy as well as its assembly. The assembly simply involves putting together the tubing, pump, fountainhead, base reservoir and any other decorative materials for add-on purposes. During the assembly, it is important to read and follow all necessary instructions to be able to come up with the fountain.

The receiving reservoir of an indoor water fountain acts as the fountain base. The pump of the fountain should be secured at the bottom of the receiving reservoir area. Some pumps are made with suction cups that help hold the pump in its place. More importantly, indoor water fountains should come with adjustment dial for the water flow. Once installation is complete for the indoor water fountain, you can then add any shells or rocks for beautification.

An outdoor fountain’s pump is its most important feature. Without it, water won’t move – it’s that simple. If you own a high quality garden fountain for long enough, you’ll eventually need to be replace its pump. There are a lot of different models out there; some of them have mysterious specifications. What’s a fountain pump’s “head?” How do you know what kind of pump works on your garden fountain? The fountain experts at Serenity Health have provided the following rough guide to outdoor water fountain pumps.

Does the Fountain Pump Fit?

Before you do any shopping measure the dimensions of your fountain’s basin in the location your pump is supposed to sit. Some pumps are too big or awkward to fit in certain outdoor fountains.

Pick WT, Not WP

The most important factor in choosing a reliable outdoor fountain pump is to check whether it’s actually safe to use outdoors. The pump has use a heavy duty, three-pronged outlet. Pumps with this capacity are called WT pumps. The WT designation appears beside their model numbers. Don’t confuse this with a WP pump. WP pumps only need two pronged outlets; they’re not robust enough to support an outdoor fountain’s electrical needs. WTs can be used both indoors and out, as long as they’re plugged into a three-pronged outlet.

Find Your Pump’s Head

In addition to measuring basin space to ensure a proper fit, you need to measure your outdoor fountain to tell how far the water needs to travel. This defines how much work your pump needs to do to function properly. Keep this information handy when you shop for a new fountain pump. When you’re browsing for pumps, look at the listed “head.” This measures how high the pump will push water. The height should exceed the fountain’s height to ensure adequate water flow. This isn’t just important to make sure the fountain looks nice. If your fountain pump doesn’t have enough head to reliably push water over the required height you’ll get inconstant flow back into its basin. This changes water pressure around the pump and sometimes even forces to suck in air, which will damage the pump over time.

Maintain Before You Replace

Buying a new outdoor pump can be a pain, so the best solution is to maintain your current pump for as long as possible. The keys to making a pump last are to keep in immersed in water while it’s on, protect it from bad weather, keep in running continuously whenever you can, and make sure it’s free of grit and debris. If you do all of this and own a high quality pump, you won’t have to replace it very often.

Keep Your Information Handy

The best thing you can do to make pump maintenance and replacement a painless process is to collect all of the information you need in advance. Some fountains come with instructions that explain exactly what you need to do, but failing that, note the pump model as soon as you get your fountain, measure the available basin space for it and check how much head the pump needs to keep a smooth cycle running. Once you know this, picking the right pump – or keeping an existing pump in good shape – is dead simple.

That new tabletop fountain looks beautiful. You found the perfect spot for it. It's all set up and running. Just listen to that soothing sound of trickling water. It's time to relax and enjoy. But hold on! Here that water? If you don't play it safe that little bit of water can cause some unforeseen problems.

Always assume anything that contains or uses water even if it is only a small amount can leak or spill. How many times have you spilled water when watering plants and flowers? There is nothing more damaging than water - inside or outside. So if you take a few simple precautions you can avoid the damage.

The simplest thing to do is never put your tabletop fountain on anything that water could damage. That's not always easy or practical to do. You want to be able to see and enjoy your new fountain. So here are some simple things to do. If the fountain is going to be setting on wood furniture put something under it. There many things that will work but I like 1/4 inch Plexiglas. It's clear and can hardly be seen. It's available at any good hardware store and they will usually cut it to your specifications. Make sure you get a large enough piece. You want it to cover the area around the fountain - not just under it. You could also use a decorative ceramic tile or even a hot plate if you had one that would go with your decor. Just make sure what ever you use doesn't itself damage any fine wood finishes.

Most of the damage I've seen, aside from accidentally tipping over the fountain, comes from condensation forming on the bottom or from splashing. Many times splashing is caused by having a fountain with too high a flow rate. Many pumps have an adjustment that can be made to lower the flow. If that doesn't work or your fountain doesn't have an adjustment capability, try rearranging some of the rocks or other objects. I have seen some very attractive splash guards made from slate or other material that complements the overall fountain design.

One of the biggest causes of splashing is a low water level. Water can evaporate quickly, especially in the winter or other times of low humidity. Check it often. The farther water has to fall into the basin, the more splashing will occur. It's also very important to make sure the right water level is maintained to keep the pump submerged. Low water can damage the pump and may to be replaced.

Just these few simple things can help you enjoy your table top fountain to the fullest and help prevent damaged to your other furniture. Now you can sit back and start enjoying the calming sound of the trickling water.

Is your home or garden ready for a water fountain? How about both? When people think of water fountains they often visualize bulky, fixed installations in the form of a large corporate wall fountain, a heavy stone outdoor fountain or a glass and stone indoor fountain. This makes the idea of getting a water fountain feel like an expensive, elaborate undertaking. In the case of outdoor fountains there’s a fear that you’ll have spend significant time and money caring for something you’ll only enjoy during warm temperatures. But according to water fountain merchant Serenity Health, modern fountains don’t have to fit those stereotypes at all. While there are still grand, traditional fountains out there, many modern water fountains are lightweight, flexible elements of indoor and outdoor décor.

The variety and convenience of modern water fountains can be credited to two things: materials and fountain pumps. Each of these makes installation more convenient.

There are beautiful fountains available in slate, glass, metal and copper, there are excellent indoor and outdoor fountains in contemporary materials like, precision-molded ceramic and lightweight fiberglass. In addition, improved manufacturing and design means that even water fountains made of heavier materials are easier to assemble than they used to be.

Fountain pumps have vastly improved too. Water pumps are an ancient technology but small, inexpensive, high efficiency pumps are a relatively recent standard. These pumps are single, contained modules that attach to the fountain’s basin with simple suction. They’re easy to maintain and replace, and only require access to electricity to function reliably. This also means that fountain designs can be much more varied than they used to be, because there’s no need to incorporate a bulky pump right into the design.

Thanks to these innovations there are modern outdoor and indoor fountains available to fit any budget, from small tabletop fountains to more traditional, monumental outdoor water features. For example Serenity Health’s fountains can cost anywhere from under $100.00 to a water wall with embedded fiber optic lighting that retails for over $68,000. Best of all, modern fountains are easier to maintain and can be moved to new locations with relatively little effort – even between indoor and outdoor sites. This is an incredible advantage for anyone living in a colder climate because you can simply move your outdoor water fountain inside, to enjoy all year round. Fiberglass is an especially great material for this, because its exterior finish can reproduce the look of a far heavier stone counterpart. This portability not only takes care of seasonal concerns, but means that if you’re a renter or plan on moving in the near future, you can take your water fountain with you. As long as you have ready access to electricity, you can put these modern fountains virtually anywhere. Compact pumps also mean that there are fountains small enough to fit in nearly any living space, right down to the top of a table in a small apartment.

As you can see, there’s definitely a water fountain out there to fit your budget and lifestyle, so take a look around. Where do you want your water fountain?

If you’ve ever thought of buying an indoor water fountain the winter is probably one of the best seasons to give it a start. Not only are many water fountains on sale, but you can feel your indoor fountain’s positive effects more strongly that you would at other times of the year. An indoor water fountain can cheer you up and help banish cabin fever on cold, miserable days when you have to stay indoors.

Winter blues is all in your head, but it’s more than your imagination or the simple expectation that winter is going to be miserable. Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD is now a well know condition that is suspected to be related to low light and melatonin levels in suffers. People who need treatment for SAD usually experience the effects of clinical depression throughout the winter: a condition that can have serious health repercussions.

SAD doesn’t hit everyone; it’s the worst edge of winter’s effects on mood. Light therapy is indicated for serious SAD sufferers (and in the winter, everyone should try to get a little sun, subject to protecting themselves from UV), but for most people winter associations can be depressing as well. Light is the main culprit, but the constant reminders of winter just makes it worse – and that’s where an indoor water fountain can help.

A properly placed indoor water fountain wards off the signs of winter in a number of ways. First of all, the presence of flowing, liquid water is an excellent counter to the ice and snow of the season, inspiring emotional associations that aren’t normally a part of the winter experience. Second, the sound is soothing, and completely unlike the crunching sounds of outdoor shoveling or the rumble of a furnace. In fact, an indoor fountain is an excellent source of “white noise” that drowns out the sounds of heating vents or space heaters.

Third and most important, when you place an indoor water fountain near a light source the water will scatter the light, spreading it around a room. This makes an indoor water fountain an excellent companion to light therapy. In most cases, the lights used to treat SAD are too bright to have in direct view and unfortunately, tend to lead to rather stark lighting conditions in a room. Even a simple tabletop indoor water fountain can spread the light around, giving a brightly-lit room a more natural ambiance.

This softening light is also unusual for the winter season, where reflective snow and a white sky usually leave everything looking somewhat monochrome. That’s not just bad for your emotional health. It’s boring, and boredom is the beginning of “cabin fever,” which may not be recognized like SAD, but certainly causes irritability over the winter season. But whether you’re happy or annoyed, an indoor water fountain can help you.

When the weather warms up, it’s time to think about your garden again. An outdoor fountain is a popular addition, and it’s a great idea to think about getting one before spring begins in earnest. That’s the best time to save on outdoor fountain purchases. Don’t worry about storage; modern water fountains are self-contained units with simple instructions for storage and setup. Outdoor fountains come in a wide range of prices. As one of the leading online water fountain merchants, Serenity Health provides the following tips for selecting the right water fountain for your budget.

Tip 1: Pick a Space Where Any Sized Outdoor Fountain Will Shine

Size is one of the main factors affecting an outdoor fountain’s price. If you want to save money, choose your fountain’s location carefully. Your basic requirements are level ground and access to an electricity source – either an outlet or if you opt for a solar water fountain, an area with plenty of sunlight. Within these restrictions, look for a spot that’s easy to see without craning your neck. To maximize the impact of a smaller fountain, seek a spot on higher ground, or make it the center point of a landscape feature that contains a mix of heights, clustered around the fountain. A decorative wall, stacked, loose stone and planters are excellent companions. Just make sure the elements near your fountain don’t obscure it, or throw a shadow on to it.

Tip 2: Outdoor Fountain Materials Affect Pricing

Materials are another factor in outdoor fountain pricing. Ceramic is usually the most cost-effective fountain material because it’s the simplest to manufacture. It can hold virtually any shape, color, sheen or texture. The drawback of ceramic is that it’s less suited to more delicate designs. That’s one reason copper – a more expensive option – is commonly used for more complex fountain designs. One popular series molds the copper into thin leaves. Copper’s price comes from the metal itself, along with the processes used to shape and treat it for use in an outdoor fountain. Higher end outdoor fountains feature slate, glass, mixed materials and handmade designs. Pick what you like within your budget, but remember that it’s fairly easy to find a matching, inexpensive ceramic design.

Tip 3: Pick a Fountain You Can Maintain

Your outdoor fountain’s lifespan is a function of how well you maintain it. This article at Water Fountains and Relaxation introduces basic maintenance tips. Generally speaking, size, the number of parts and pump quality determine how much labor you’ll need to keep your outdoor fountain running in top shape. If you get a smaller fountain it can be as simple as keeping it clean and moving it indoor for the winter. If you have a larger fountain you may need to purchase a cover and leave it outdoors. On the other hand, premium fountain models tend to have the best fountain pumps. The pump is your outdoor fountain’s heart; if it stops working, your fountain is nothing but a static sculpture. You can buy replacement pumps without too much trouble. This is an added expense however, so it makes sense to take special care of your pump to keep it running for as long as possible. Maintaining any fountain is actually fairly simple if you commit to a plan, but be honest with yourself. If you’re the kind of person with empty garden boxes and old weeds, you’ll probably be better off with the simplest outdoor fountain models. If you pick an outdoor fountain you can take care of, you’ll save in the long term.

Wall fountains are the exceptional means of adding pieces of nature when it comes to home decoration. With the added benefits that one can get with the use of wall fountains, these stuff have become increasingly popular these days. Homes, office spaces, hospitals, meditation and yoga centers- wall fountains are found everywhere. When it comes to buying wall fountains there are lots of choices available and choosing the right one for your home or office décor won’t be a difficulty. However, these wall fountains need appropriate care and maintenance for proper functioning. Here are some tips to maintain and care a wall fountain.

Change water periodically

When it comes to wall fountains there are both indoor and outdoor options available. However, changing the water that’s circulated is a vital part of maintenance of any kind of wall fountain. If the water fountain is not used for a long time and kept idle, all the water has to be drained and the fountain must be kept dry. Leaving the water idle in a wall fountain will destroy the quality of the water and also will produce a foul smell. It’s always advisory to keep the wall fountain operating continuously. This eliminates the foul smell of stagnant water and also prevents the growth of micro organisms.

Extra cares for outdoor wall fountains

While most of the wall fountains are associated with common maintenance procedures, the outdoor wall fountains need some extra care. Foliage gets collected in the outdoor water fountains, distracting the water flow. This not only impacts the beauty of the wall fountain but also damages the pump. The foliage clogs the water flow in the pump which in turn will cause non-reparable damage to the same. The green alga is another obstacle that comes with the outdoor conditions. Green algae grow faster in the outdoor wall fountains when compared to the indoor ones. The outdoor wall fountains have to be maintained in a dry condition for atleast two days every month for overcoming this difficulty.

Keep the pump in trim working condition

The pump is the heart of a wall fountain. It is very much important to maintain the pump in good working condition. Cleaning the pump regularly is very much essential. Improper maintenance of the pump will make the wall fountain totally stop functioning. The pump should be checked and made sure that there are no debris within the rotor area. All the debris like dust, sand and foliage has to be removed for proper functioning of the pump. Cleaning the pump is an uncomplicated task and you should be able to clean the pump with a little bit of time and concentration.

The wall fountains can be easily maintained when compared to the other types. Reading the manufacturer’s instructions regarding installation, maintenance and care thoroughly will help you maintain your great piece of art (wall fountain) in all its splendor. .

Wall water fountains have a dramatic impact on your interior décor. Nothing else combines sound and motion the same way. A properly placed wall fountain becomes a signature household or office piece without dominating the area so much that it gets in the way of feeling at ease. This begs the question: Where are the best places to put a wall-mounted water fountain? Using their extensive experience in the field, the staff at fountain retailer Serenity Health offers the following advice to anyone interested in adding a wall water fountain to their home or office interiors.

Basic Wall Fountain Placement: Support and Moisture

The two basic things to consider when adding a water fountain to your interior are the strength of the supporting wall and the effect the fountain’s moisture will have on the area surrounding the fountain. A properly installed, quality wall fountain won’t leak, but there will be a slight mist of moisture. This is why you should keep your wall fountain slightly clear of wood furniture. If the mounting wall is wood, or certain kinds of plaster you may want to choose another location. When it comes to support, you have to be sure the wall will support the weight of the fountain. You should also make sure the wall is mostly perpendicular to the ground to avoid setting the wall fountain on a slant. These considerations will rule out a few spots in your home, but they’ll make others more attractive. For example, wall fountains often accompany plants well, and are a great addition to any corner of the house that tends to get a little dry.

Making Room for Your Wall Fountain

Wall fountains are great for homes and small offices because they’re about the most space-efficient water fountains you can get, but you need to make a bit of room for them. People should be able to walk by the wall fountain with enough clearance to take in the whole thing – don’t put it in a space so cramped that the fountain fills someone’s entire field of vision. Furthermore, it’s a major part of the space’s design and shouldn’t be a transitional spot like a hallway unless it’s wide and furnished so that someone can sit and appreciate it. Give visitors a chance to appreciate your wall fountain.

Giving Your Fountain Light and Height

All water fountains look their best in the presence of natural light. If you can’t manage that, artificial full spectrum lighting is an excellent alternative, or diffuse light from multiple sources. These options showcase the wall fountain’s water best. Bright natural light brings out the clarity of the water, while diffuse, standard indoor lighting plays up its reflective qualities. If you must go with normal light bulbs consider a copper wall fountain, as it will pick up the light as a warm glow.

Great lighting won’t be effective if the wall fountain is too high or low. You want to avoid a situation where the top of the fountain is significantly below head height, but you don’t want it so high up that the bottom of the fountain is up above your waist. These are general guidelines, however, because the wall fountain’s dimensions will change what you can get away with. For the most part, however, the fountain should have a height matching its importance as a piece of décor. If other furniture pieces threaten to “bury” it at a given height, raise it up – but not so high that it stands apart from a unified interior design.

In itself the idea of installing a fountain in a pond is far from original. For centuries the good and the great have placed towering fountains of spectacular form in lakes and ponds in the gardens of fabulous houses, yet the average family home can also be party to an impressive - if somewhat smaller - version.It is the solar pond fountains that are mostly in demand lately and justly so; there are definite factors behind their popularity.

Why Solar?

The pump of the solar pond fountains helps in water circulation.In the case of the traditional fountain - that which sends a column of water vertically - the water is pressured through the system and then falls back into the pond, to be used again later.In all cases of modern fountains the pump will be an electric one, and this gives the solar fountain a major advantage.The fountains which are not solar have a wiring system for which the electricity charges are very high. After you have installed the solar pond fountain you will find that they are cost effective as the solar panel converts the sunlight into electricity.

And when there's no sun?

In some of the solar fountains there is a battery connection and the battery can store the electricity which will be used during the night time.They also have lights of different colors with the help of these batteries which adds more beauty to the gardens.

Is it easy to install?

As there is no hard wiring or worrying about convenient power points the solar pond fountain is a very simple device to install.Once in position the fountain and solar panel are ready to go - it really is that simple.You don't have to worry about selecting the proper place for installation as they can be placed anywhere as they do not require electric connections.

What about maintenance?

When it comes to maintenance, just a scheduled cleaning of the fountain and the solar panel will keep it going smoothly!

Are there different types?

You have a very wide choice of solar pond fountains, especially when it comes to materials and designs.The fountains which just shoot water are also available along with the elegant one. The ones which are made of many metals and plastics are not heavy and can be handled easily. You will get according to your suitable budget.
