Your Outdoor Fountain and the Cold Weather

Here comes Old Man Winter. I don’t know about where you live, but I live in the Pacific North West, and it just got COLD…QUICK! I was almost caught off guard, it has been such a pleasant fall that I have not even begun to prepare my outdoor fountains for the cold. I have a large slate wall fountain that hangs on our garden wall, along with a few small garden fountains throughout the yard. I learned a big lesson last year when a similar cold snap hit us, and I didn’t even give my fountains a second thought. I left them full of water, the pumps running, and the peaceful trickling sounds keeping the falling snow company. I have to replace most of the tubing, and all of the pumps on them. This is a mistake that I don’t plan on making again, and I am here today to help you prepare your fountains for your winter season.frozen fountain

Now, I know that many of you may not live in a place that freezes over every winter, or even come close, but you may want to read this anyhow because of the changing weather patterns that seem to be taking many regions by surprise. Winter care for you outdoor Fountains really isn’t that dificult, and all it takes is some common sense. The most important thing is that you monitor the temperature in your area. Here in the North West we go through about 3 months of temperatures that can easily go below the freezing levels, so for similar regions it would be wise to simply drain all of your outdoor fountains. Make sure that you let the pump run dry for about 5 seconds in order to get the water out of the tubing. If you live somewhere that it rarely goes below freezing, but sometimes can, there is another option. It can be risky, if you get really low temperatures, but circulation can keep water from freezing. So, if you have a short period of low temperatures and don’t want to drain your entire fountain it can be beneficial to keep the power on and this could keep the water from freezing and doing damage to the pump and tubing. Just keep an eye on it and if any ice forms on the fountain shut it off immediately and drain it.

Like I said above, all it takes is some common sense and a watchful eye on your outdoor fountains. Take it from someone who has suffered through the consequences of not taking action, it creates much more work, and costs much more money, to do nothing. Take care of your water features and they will take care of you. Happy Holidays, and stay warm!

Custom Water Fountains

Custom Water Fountains are a perfect way to place a water feature in your home and office that has a very unique look and size.  There are so many fountains that look the same and have the same dimensions, creating a custom water fountain is a perfect way to get something out of the ordinary to impress your guests and clients.  Most custom water features can add a company logo which would look great in a company lobby.  Most custom fountains are indoor water fountains, but placing your outdoor water fountain outdoors is also a possibility.  Wall fountains work great, but usually because of their size and weight its usually best to have your custom fountain be a floor mounted water fountain.  Some of the big custom fountain manufactures are Bluworld, Accents In Water and Midwest Tropical however there are a lot of smaller custom water fountain manufactures that you can usually get a better price on.TV Water Fountain

5 Most Important Design Features to Consider in Wall Fountains

Wall Fountain

When Buying Wall Fountains there are many design features that need to be taken into consideration when purchasing a water feature to match your decor. In this article I will try to lead you through some of the most important features, that most Wall Mounted Fountain manufacturers offer, you will need to take into consideration.Here we go:

1. Surface Material: This is perhaps the most important choice in your Wall Fountain Purchase. This is the basis of all of the other choices that you have with your water feature. This is also your chance to compliment either a warm pallet or a cool pallet and stick with a natural design or a contemporary/sleek design. For example if you have a natural type of decor you might want to consider a slate surface with rust or green tones to compliment a warm pallet or black slate to compliment a cool pallet. If you have a contemporary/sleek decor you might want to consider a mirror or glass surface.

2. Trim Color: This is your chance to accent the beauty of your Wall Mounted Fountain. To really encompass the decor of your home you can choose from a variety of trim colors with most fountains. The 2 most common are Copper and Stainless Steel, and often a Dark Copper is available, ask your fountain retailer for pictures of your fountain with the color that you think will go best with your ambiance.

3. Size: The size of the Wall Fountain that you buy is the most impact full choice that you will make in the price of you water feature. Of course the space that you plan of putting your wall mounted fountain is important in making this decision, but more than surface material this will dictate the price of your fountain.

4. Trim Style: Most Fountain manufacturers will customize your trim with either rounded corners or straight corners. It is important to take the lines of your home into consideration when making this choice.

5. Logo: With most wall fountains you can have your company’s logo, your favorite saying or just about any simple symbol put onto the surface of your water fountain. On slate or marble fountains they are usually etched into the stone, and color epoxies can be added to match your preferred colors. On glass or mirrored wall mounted fountains the logo or symbol can be acid etched or a vinyl sticker can be added.

I hope that these tips find you well and help you in finding the perfect addition to your favorite place of comfort in your home or office.
