Water Fountains

The water that flows in a water fountain never sounds exactly the same from one moment to the next. This dynamic quality keeps our listening experience from growing monotonous or predictable, which can easily happen if we listen to sound machines or audio recordings regularly. We can also choose to dramatically change the “song” of the water in our water fountain, simply by rearranging rocks or other features in the basin or by adding a new element – such as a seashell, leaf, or small piece of wood – along the water’s path. We can even place our own fingers in the water’s flow to change the sound of the water as it moves; feeling the water stream across our skin would bring yet another sensory element to our experience.

Tabletop Fountain

Now that the weather is turning colder, you might want to bring the outdoors inside by adding a tabletop fountain to your home decor. Table Top Fountains are highly recommended inhomes and offices to help increase the humidity levels and decrease the amount of dust particles in the air. This will have a large effect on people with allergies. The sound of the soothing running water also helps to produce a relaxing atmosphere which in turn reduces stress.

Winterizing Our Ponds & Fountains continued

We've been winterizing our ponds and fountains. The pond should be covered with netting to keep the falling leaves and debrie out. The decaying debrie is poisonous to the fish. As it decays it sends of chemicals that will kill the fish. The debrie will also often clog up the pump.

Then we removed our plants. Some plants like the water hyacinth and lettuce we'll just throw away as they don't winter over. The tropical plants like the rushes, cannas, elephant ear, arrow and arum can be taken to the garage or basement (somewhere where they won't freeze).

We can still enjoy the fountain for awhile yet.

Bring Your Water Plants In

If you have topical plants in your pond, now is a good time to take them out. If you have time, it will also be a good time to repot them if necessary. Clean them up by removing dead leaves and blossoms. We put ours in the basement. We don't want them to freeze, but they will go dormant since it will be cooler for them.

Ponds and Fountains

We've been talking about winterizing your pond and fountains. Your fountains can stay on for quite awhile yet. We have actually left are fountains in the pond until the water and mist actually start to freeze. Then you'll want to be sure to turn them off and take them out of the water.. Be sure that they drain, so they won't freeze up. Just keep them in the storage shed until spring.

Decorative Outdoor Garden Pond With Fountain

If you have a decorative outdoor garden pond with fountain, be sure that you cover it with some type of netting (you can get this in most garden or department stores). The purpose of this is to keep the falling leaves and other debris that is be being blown around out of the pond. The leaves become wet and begin decaying. This decaying is harmful to any fish you might have. It will also produce an unsightly murky water
