Water For Health

Archive for the ‘Water Fountain’ Category

Coming home each day can be a stress relieving period when you know you can relax with the sound of water falling in your living room. Indoor wall water fountains help to create the ultimate tranquil room in your home. The light playing on the wall as it falls over the wall and the sculpture creates an ever changing image in a work of art. They are also very beneficial for your health and beauty.

Indoor wall water fountains release negative ions into the air of your home from the moving water. These ions attach themselves to the airborne pollutants and take them out of the air, thus purifying the air that you breathe. The air inside your home is often more polluted than that of the outside with smoke, odor, and dust.

You can eliminate the need for an air purifier when you have one of these waterfalls in the living room or any other room of the home. Research has also shown that these negative ions have a positive effect on your brain activity and can be very helpful in reducing and treating depression.

Indoor wall water fountains (http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no=906) can be attached to the wall or be freestanding walls of cascading water. They are also available in a wide array of materials from nature, such as bronze, copper and slate. You can also choose the number of panels you would like to have in your wall fountain.

The norm is between one to three panels, but you can have as many as you wish. Those fountains that stand on the floor can be moved from one room to the other and do not require installation on a wall. They are also very easy to assemble.

Before you rush out to buy one of the wall water fountains, you should sit back and study the room in which you want to place it. You can choose a horizontal or vertical fountain, but you do need to make sure you have the space available, either on the wall or the floor.

You also need to look at the height of your ceilings to determine which type of fountain is best suited to this room. If you have high ceilings, them your best choice would be vertical wall water fountain (http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no=1236) because a horizontal model would be diminished by the height of the walls.

The depth of the wall water fountain is also another factor that you need to consider before you make your purchase. You do have to allow this depth from the wall and allow for the furniture that you will place beneath it. For example, if you want to have the fountain on the wall over the sofa, you want to make sure that there will be enough room to walk around the sofa and that it will not impeded the flow of traffic within the room.

Wall water fountains do not require any amount of care or maintenance. You can clean the glass with glass cleaners or with a mixture of vinegar and water. You may find mineral deposits collecting on the face of the fountain, but a simple cleaning with CLR and a bristle brush will take care of this for you. If you have pebbles in the fountain, you should not use any abrasive cleaners or water containing bleach because this will cause damage to the material behind the pebbles.

Making your own outdoor water fountains has its benefits. You save on purchase costs, moving cost, and installation cost. You get to make something that suits your garden; something that is a unique piece, not available anywhere else. And you get to have a lot of fun doing this on sunny Sunday afternoons when you are in the mood for testing your DIY skills.

Materials Needed

First, you need to source the materials, equipment, and parts for making the fountain. You will need a plastic pool, pump, tubes, sand, and a plastic fountain water spout. The pump should be powerful enough to draw water from the pool into the spout, and throw it high. Depending on your requirement, you can even get decoration pieces such as plants, colorful rocks, shells, and plants. Statues and sculptures sourced from flea markets, garden sales, and online stores can really brighten the pool up.

Selecting The Pump

The pump is the most active mechanism of the fountain. Therefore, you need to select the right pump for the pool and fountain. The pump provides lift and sucks the water by volume. These two measurements must be kept in mind while purchasing supplies for the fountain. Smaller wall or tabletop fountains draw 30 gallons of water per hour. The large fountains need 500 gallons per hour. You need to have an idea of the volume of water in the pool to be able to calculate how much force your pump should apply.

The Procedure

First, the electricity line has to be laid to connect the fountain to the mains. The farther the fountain is from the electricity switchboard, the longer would be the length of cord that you need. Next, you would need to clear space on the ground and dig a trench the size of the pool. Fit the plastic pool into this. Check the level using a carpenter’s tool.

Next step is to fit in the decorative fount and do the plumbing. The sculpture is placed in the middle of the pool. A hole is drilled through it so a tube can pass through. Attach the tube to the pump by fitting it into its outlet slot. Fill the pool up. Plug in the pump to the electricity line and start the fountain.

All the major work is done. Now you need to decorate the fountain. Use shells, pebbles, rocks and additional sculptures to create a unique look for your garden. Any old pieces from decoration sets, china, and similar material can be used for creating a fun/elegant/theme-based fountain.

Now your DIY fountain is ready. With a little creativity and almost no cost, you can create spectacular outdoor water fountains for your home.
