How Fountains Work
How Self-Circulating Fountains Work
Indoors or outdoors, fountains bring classic beauty, as well as soothing sounds created by the pump and the type of fountain. Fountains come in all shapes and sizes to please and appeal to everyone. The versatility of a fountain will absolutely add elegance and style to your landscape wherever you choose to place it. Let's explore how self-contained fountains really work.
Self-Contained Fountains:
Cast stone fountains by Campania International are self-contained. This means that the water you add to the fountain is recirculated and reused by a pump. The pump works by forcing water upwards to generate that classic falling water effect into the lower basin or basins of the fountain. The pump also utilizes hidden tubing and water pressure to maintain the cycle. Regular cleaning of the pump and ensuring that no debris clogs the water inflow will lengthen its lifespan. Being mindful of your new pump will also help to prolong the life of the pump and the beauty of the fountain. Fountain pumps by Campania International should only be connected to a properly grounded 110-volt plug.
Fountains require some easy maintenance:
- Keep the water at the appropriate level and ensure the pump is submerged in the water while it is running.
- Placement and weather conditions are also factors. If the fountain is placed in an area with a lot of wind or low humidity, the water will evaporate more quickly.
- To properly clean your new fountain, you need mild dish soap and a soft-bristle brush. Some great, environmentally safe algae solutions make cleaning a breeze.
All of this wonderful information comes with your fountain from The Garden Gates. The instructions for each fountain can also be found on the product page of the website. These instructions outline all the components of the fountain and any additional tools required for assembly. No external or special plumbing needed! Every fountain requires water to fill up the bowls and basins, a level ground or a level surface to place the fountain, and a safe place to plug in the pump.
