As an outdoor enthusiast, I have always been fascinated with the beauty of water features. From small ponds to large waterfalls, I have seen it all. However, one water feature that has always caught my attention is the spray ring fountain. In this article, I will dive into the beauty of spray ring fountains and how they can enhance your outdoor space.

 

Introduction to Spray Ring Fountains
Spray ring fountains are a type of outdoor water feature that creates a ring-shaped spray of water. They are typically found in gardens, parks, and public spaces, but they can also be used in residential settings. Spray ring fountains come in a variety of sizes and styles, making them a versatile addition to any outdoor space.

 

What are Spray Ring Fountains?
Spray ring fountains, also known as nozzle fountains, consist of a series of nozzles that shoot water up into the air. The water then falls back down into the basin, creating a beautiful display of water. Some spray ring fountains have LED lights that illuminate the water, adding an extra element of beauty to the display.

 

How Spray Ring Fountains enhance your outdoor space
Spray ring fountains add a sense of tranquility and relaxation to any outdoor space. The sound of the water falling back into the basin creates a soothing ambiance that can help reduce stress and anxiety. Additionally, spray ring fountains can be used as a focal point in a garden or outdoor space, drawing the eye to the center of the display.

 

Advantages of Spray Ring Fountains over other types of outdoor fountains
One advantage of spray ring fountains over other types of outdoor fountains is their versatility. They can be used in a variety of outdoor settings, from small gardens to large parks. Additionally, spray ring fountains are typically less expensive to install than other types of outdoor fountains, making them a cost-effective option for those on a budget.

 

Types of Spray Ring Fountains – Nozzle Fountains vs. Other Fountains
There are two main types of spray ring fountains – nozzle fountains and other fountains. Nozzle fountains consist of a series of nozzles that shoot water up into the air, while other fountains use different methods to create a ring-shaped spray of water. While both types of fountains create beautiful displays of water, nozzle fountains are typically more cost-effective and easier to install.

 

Choosing the right Spray Ring Fountain for your outdoor space
When choosing a spray ring fountain for your outdoor space, there are several factors to consider. The size of your outdoor space, the style of your home or garden, and your budget are all important considerations. Additionally, you should think about the type of spray ring fountain that will best fit your needs – nozzle fountains are typically the most cost-effective and easiest to install, while other fountains may offer more unique and intricate displays of water.

 

Installation and maintenance of Spray Ring Fountains
Installation and maintenance of spray ring fountains are relatively easy compared to other types of outdoor water features. Most spray ring fountains come with detailed instructions that make installation a breeze. Additionally, maintenance typically involves regular cleaning and occasional replacement of nozzles and other parts.

 

Additional features to consider for your outdoor space – Garden Fountains
In addition to spray ring fountains, garden fountains are another popular type of outdoor water feature. Garden fountains come in a variety of styles and sizes, from small tabletop fountains to large tiered fountains. They can be used as a focal point in a garden or outdoor space, or as a soothing background noise to help reduce stress and anxiety.

 

Benefits of adding Garden Fountains to your outdoor space
Like spray ring fountains, garden fountains offer a range of benefits for your outdoor space. They can help reduce stress and anxiety, and they can be used as a focal point in a garden or outdoor space. Additionally, garden fountains can help attract wildlife to your outdoor space, adding an extra element of beauty and tranquility.

 

Conclusion: Enhance your outdoor space with Spray Ring Fountains and Garden Fountains
In conclusion, spray ring fountains and garden fountains are two beautiful and versatile types of outdoor water features that can enhance any outdoor space.

Harsh Winters and Garden Fountains

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Many people use water features to accentuate their lawn, complement their patio space, and to serve as centerpieces in their gardens. They come in a wide range of impressive designs, and offer many benefits for your home. People who live in colder climates, or experience harsh winters weather are often very apprehensive when it comes to installing water features in their own home. But, there are actually plenty of options for people in cold areas. It is important to know how to which materials to choose and how to prepare them for harsh weather.

Choosing the Right Material

Outdoor fountains are made out of many different materials. Some fountains are made of natural stone, while others are made of concrete or metal. These materials range in durability and strength. The right material with the proper maintenance can last for years, even in rough climates. When choosing your fountain, avoid materials that could chip or break easily. It may be best for some areas to choose fountains made of iron. Many companies also offer maintenance and repair kits, and the way you care for your fountain will make all the difference.

Draining for Winter

Fountains come in a wide array of sizes and styles. Some can circulate a hundreds of gallons of water, while others operate on just a few. If you are installing a water feature in a location that experiences harsh winter conditions, you’ll definitely want to choose something that you can easily drain. Units that move less water are more easily drained, and you’ll need something like that. If you leave water sitting in a fountain through those winter months, it will freeze, and that can cause major, irreparable damage to your garden fountain. You don’t want to turn on your fountain in the spring to find that it is cracked and broken from ice damage.

Protect Them from the Elements

The cold temperatures aren’t the only ways that your water can be damaged by the elements. If you want to protect your fountain from some of the more brutal effects of nature, you’ll probably want to utilize a fountain cover. Covering your fountain will protect the materials and finish during the months when you do not have it operating.

If you live in a harsh climate with heavy precipitation in the winter time, a simple cover might not be enough. If you are still worried about what Mother Nature might do to your outdoor water feature, consider purchasing one that isn’t too hard to move. Sometimes the best way to avoid the elements is to escape them altogether. During those unforgiving months, you may consider placing your fountain in a garage or shed.

 

Don’t let the fear of cold weather stop you from having water features in your own garden. There are still options for those of us who sometimes get snow and ice. Draining during freezing weather, protecting the pieces from the elements, and choosing fountains made of durable materials will allow you to have water features like everyone else!

Bracing your Fountain for the Winter Months

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Your outdoor water features will do little entertaining in the winter months. They also become highly susceptible to the cold elements. That is why it is essential to care for your fountain in the winter months. By taking your fountain out of the elements, or reducing the elements’ impact, you are keeping your pump and the structure itself from serious dilapidation.

What are the consequences?

The two negative consequences that can result involve the pump breaking and fixture cracking. Pumps that are dry will not be affected by the freezing cold. However, all of the moisture that is in a pump leads to freezing which can break the pump. This would require you to get a new pump, and there is no reason to do that each year. The fixture of the fountain, especially with cast stone features, will crack in the severe weather.

How to prevent it

The best option for preserving your fountain in the winter months is to completely bring it out of the elements. The best way to do this is to disassemble all the parts of the fountain, dry them, and store them in the garage, or any other dry and relatively warm space. A space somewhere between freezing and room temperature is ideal. We also recommend that you clean your pump at this time before you store it.

If there is no space indoors for your fountain then you will want to cover the fixture. Two methods need to be in play as you protect your fountain. Naturally, you will want to cover the fountain with a water proof tarp. Make sure that it is secure, covers all exposed areas and has relatively no spots for leakage. However, no matter what tarp you choose and how you secure it, you will need to add some absorbent material to your fountain. While your fountain is being protected by the water proof tarp, all moisture that does somehow get to your fountain will be absorbed instead of seeping straight into the stone fixture. Fill the basins and tiers (any spot moisture could accumulate) with an absorbent material. Burlap or hay will work for this. Make sure to switch it out periodically.

One last thing if you weren’t aware. Make sure to rid your fountain of any debris or unwanted vegetation. Naturally vegetation contains moisture which you do not want. Cleaning your fountain before and after the winter season is just route process for two water feature owners. Call Water Feature Pros if you are in the Louisville area, we can clean your fountain this spring.

Following these steps should ensure the safety of your water feature. If you already have some cracks in your fountain from weather damage then you can call us at Water Feature Pros. We may be able to restore your fountain. However, if you find hairline cracks in your fountain there is really no need to worry. That naturally happens in the cold.

Preparing your Garden Fountain and Pond for Winter

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

From the spring through the fall, having a fountain in your garden or a pond on your property adds a beautiful touch to your outdoor setting. Those warm days are always improved by spending relaxing hours next to fresh running water. While it is important to maintain your units and keep your fountains and ponds fresh and clean throughout the year, when the winter months are approaching, there are a few extra details of which you should be aware.

Cleaning

Whether you have a garden fountain or a small pond, one of the most important things you can do to prepare them for winter is cleaning them, and removing all organic debris. The decomposition process is slowed in colder temperatures, and the slowing of this process presents problems. During decomposition, organic materials will give off toxic gases, and slowing the process allows for a buildup of these toxic chemicals. If a layer of ice begins to form, the decomposition process is slowed down even more. This is especially harmful if you have a pond that contains fish or other wildlife.

Garden Fountains

If you are preparing a garden fountain for winter, you will want to drain all of the water, and turn the pump off before the first freeze. Frozen water expands quite a bit, and ice will ruin your pump and the pieces of your fountain. There are also fountain covers that can protect the materials your fountain is made of from Mother Nature. But, in some cases, it is sometimes best to remove your fountain from the elements completely. If you expect to experience harsh winter conditions, it may be best to move you fountain to a garage or shed during those months.

Preparing Your Pond

The options for maintaining your pond are a little different than a fountain. The pump in a pond for instance, can be left on throughout the year, so that it can continue to circulate the water. The pump will help to keep the water from freezing, but sometimes those temperatures just are too low. It is a big help to have a fountain thermometer to monitor these temperatures. There are also options for pond heaters for when the temperatures get too bad. If your pond begins to freeze, you can pour boiling water in the edge of it, allowing trapped gases to be released.

Cold weather is harsh, and it can bring a lot of issues to your water features. With the many methods and techniques that are available for maintaining your fountain or pond, there is no reason why the winter should ruin your pieces. If you keep your water clean, and act early enough, you shouldn’t have any problems.

Drain Them

Fountains and ponds come in a wide range of sizes and styles. Some circulate a hundreds of gallons of water, while some operate on just a few. If you are installing a water feature in a location that experiences harsh winter conditions, you’ll definitely want to choose something with less water. Units that move less water are more easily drained, and you’ll need something that is easily drained.

Maintaining Your Outdoor Fountain

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Outdoor fountains are loved by people all over the world, and they have been for very many years. The love of fountains has even grown to see fountains in people’s own backyards, creating a beautiful  personal environment. If you have a fountain at your home, you are aware of their many benefits. The beautiful visual, the soothing sounds, and the refreshing feeling are just a few. If you are familiar with these benefits, you may soon be aware of a few consequences if you don’t take proper care of your outdoor fountain. There are a few regular tasks you can do to be sure your fountain is clean and fresh.

Cleaning the Pump

Sometimes, people won’t notice the severity of the buildup in their fountain until it is too late. It is easy to forget that your fountain can begin to experience buildup and clogging before you see it. This is why cleaning your pump is so important. All of the water flows through the pump, and that can begin to take a toll on it. There are many times when the buildup begins there, unseen, and it only gets worse from there. Nip your problems in the bud with a regular cleaning of your fountain pump.

In-Depth Cleaning

Every so often, it would be wise to clean the entire fountain in depth. This may be a little time-consuming, but it is very worth it. You definitely don’t want a buildup of algae, hard water, and white scale in your fountain. To clean your fountain, be sure to turn it off and drain all the water with a pump of wet/dry vacuum. After the pond is off and drained, you’ll want to clean all of the separate pieces, including rinsing off any rocks or stones that may be a part of your fountain set up. Be sure to clean all of the fountain parts in depth, using fountain cleaning chemicals if necessary.

Fountain Chemicals

While there are products available to help you in during the cleaning process, there are also preventative chemicals that you can use for your fountain. There are many choices, and it’s important that you choose the right one. Household cleaners normally just won’t do the trick. Many of the fountain cleaners require that you simply add a small amount to your water supply. Once you do that, the chemicals will flow through all of the pieces of your fountain, keeping bacteria, algae, and hard water at bay.

Your outdoor fountain is the highlight of your outdoor environment. You want to make sure that it is in the best condition possible. A little maintenance is all you need. With regular pump cleaning and deep cleaning, along with the right fountain chemicals, your fountain will be in tip top shape!

With all of the distractions and stresses that come along with working, having a family, and just living everyday life, it’s nice to take some time out for yourself every once in a while. Private alone time is more valuable that people realize, and it’s a thing that many people often take for granted. Don’t allow yourself to be one of those people. Be sure that you take time out to relax and center yourself whenever you need a break. A great place to relax is a secluded outdoor environment. Create an environment like this in your own home with a type of fence or wall, the right outdoor furniture, and a soothing fountain or spillway.

Setting Your Boundaries

You can choose to have a privacy fence installed if you would like to separate your entire yard. If you are looking to create a small location within the confines of your yard, you can choose to install a few trellises around your space and grow vines on them, making them more like walls. You can even use chain link fence, which is fairly inexpensive, and improve the look with vines.

Outdoor Furniture

With all of the choices out there, it can be hard to narrow it down. A good place to start is by considering how you’ll be spending your time there.

Fountains and Spillways

One of the best things you can do to create a space that is soothing and secluded is by installing a fountain or other water feature. The right water feature will create a relaxing and steady sound with the flowing of the water. This sound is not only relaxing, but it helps to mitigate unwanted noise surrounding to place of privacy. If you live on a busy street, or in an active neighborhood, this can be a definite life-saver. With all of the many styles of fountains, ponds, and spillways, there is sure to be something to fit perfectly in your scene.

Create a space where you can do just that. With the appropriate boundaries, the right outdoor furniture, and a soothing water feature, you can have the perfect secluded and private outdoor area.
