Facts About Rock Water Fountains

By Kenneth Kennedy


Most people think water fountains are big outdoor structures that hold thousands gallons of liquid. On the other hand, such people are not familiar with the fact that small well-designed rock water fountains have the same visual and acoustic effect. A fountain can be designed for both outdoor and indoor settings. It is important to ensure an outdoor design matches the theme and color of the place.

Before installing a fountain, it is important to decide on the design first. There are very many designs that one can choose from. Some designs can even be custom-built to suit the specific needs of the client. There are very many companies that offer custom-built fountains for individual as well as corporate clients. After choosing the design, it is important to ensure that the construction and installation are also done by a professional service company.

If the structure is meant to be installed permanently, it is important to ensure that it is installed in the right place. The cost of relocating an already installed fountain can be the same as the cost of installing a new one. As such, one should start by picking a spot of installation first. The spot should be centrally located so that the structure will attract attention and add beauty.

These structures need to be well maintained. One needs to make sure there is always enough waters in the fountain. A pump is used to pump liquid from the basin to create a splash to the ground by gravity. The pumps may be powered by fuels such as gasoline or electricity. It is therefore important to ensure there is always enough water for the pump to function well.

Lack of waters will cause the pump to burn out. Water is important because it helps in cooling and keeping the pump functioning properly. One should continuously check for the level of the water so that they can refill it in case it drops too low. Sources of water loss from fountains are many, and they include evaporation.

Animals may also be a source of water loss for fountains installed in outdoor spaces. These watering sources attract pets, birds, domestic, and wild animals. As a result, fountains become their drinking source and they are drawn to it. This can significantly lower the liquid level instantaneously.

It is also important to clean the whole structure at once in a while. In order to keep the structure running and in good condition, one needs to remove dirt and any materials that accumulates in the structure over a period of time. The dirt may be from the environment or from activities by animals or kids.

Fountains are made of pipes, pumps, and taps among other components. It is likely that these components may undergo wear and tear over time. When that happens, it is necessary to have damaged replaced or repaired by a professional. Regular inspection of the structure should also be done to detect any problems that may arise.
