Homemade indoor Waterfalls

2009-01-22T11:01:00.001-08:00

The indoor waterfalls provide that expanse of water in the home which can be very much soothing to the eye and water of course is said to provide the serenity. It is this serenity which in general the water provides when we visit all these waterfalls.

There are two ways you can have these indoor waterfalls and these will require a few basic things at your disposal.

You can buy a homemade waterfall kit and then use that to make sure that you have the correct area and size specifications. Then you need to probably set up a proper basin as well as have a submersible water pump which will pump the water into the tube and push it up.

There are various design features which will need to be considered before you can start building your homemade indoor waterfalls.

Most of the companies do offer custom made solutions for the indoor waterfalls and these of course are generally more expensive. But the varieties offers are huge ranging from stainless steel water falls, copper wall fountains, Glass fountains or even the marble ones.

You can definitely your own water fall fountains like the ones available in the market but you will need a water basin, a water pump and also a cascading feature. You can either buy a cascading feature like a special statue yourself or you can actually make one yourself.

These fountains definitely need an expert handling to make these at home. Especially since it will involve measuring the head height and the max height as well as getting the proper water pumps with correct GPH specifications.

Then a lot of people believe in feng shui and for that you will need to either have the water dragons as the indoor water fountains.

Solar Water Fountains

2009-01-22T10:57:00.001-08:00

Now solar water fountains is must thing when you need to have something very much in line with the current trend of saving the earth and is easily the best investment in terms of saving costs on electricity as well as saving the environment.

Going by the name solar most likely these fountains will work only outdoors but you will be surprised to hear that these fountains also work well as indoor water fountains.

The reason is very easy to fathom because the solar fountains actually come with a detachable solar panel. This detached solar panel can be kept say about fifteen feet away from the fountain itself. That way you can have a solar panel which is lying outside ij the sun and getting energy for you whereas you have something which is lying inside connected to that panel. Plus there are no wires coming out of the fountains which usually spoil the beauty of the fountains.

The disadvantage is that these solar water fountains will not be bale to run in the night time as they will require the sun rays which are not there at night time. You may require a battery operated thing to run the fountain at night.

The solar panel provided energy based on the sun rays and if the intensity of the sun rays is not that much then it the water coming out of the fountain will fluctuate in intensity.

The solar panel actually is hooked to the pump inside the fountain and the pump directly gets energy to it rather having the electrical energy being supplied to it.
There are solar birdbaths also and these are actually used usually in the outdoor garden and these have solar panel inside it and there is no need for a separate solar panel.

The panels can be kept outside on the porch to receive the sunlight or can be stacked in the landscaping. There is support available to keep the panel.

Also there are ways by which you can use these in the winter by means of an AC Adaptor.

Indoor Water Fountain pumps

2009-01-22T10:52:00.001-08:00

Water fountain pumps are the most essential part of the water fountain and that may be an indoor water fountain or an outdoor water fountain. It is these pumps which will usually make sure that the water reaches the top of the fountain through a water tube and then fall with whatever is mechanism is there in the fountain.

There are various types of water fountain pumps which are there like the battery powered ones or the solar powered ones. Though the most common ones are the electricity operated water pumps

All these pumps are submersible pumps which mean that these pumps actually make sure that you have them in water all the time and that will automatically cool off the motor.

The most important thing that you need to know in a pump when you are purchasing one if you are trying to build a water fountain pump all by your self is the flow art of the pump as that is what determines how much water will the pump push up.

The other thing to consider is that is the maximum height to which the water can be pumped by the pump. That will determine what height you will need for the water fountain. In fact, this should be vice versa and that means that you should actually make sure that you have the smaller height of the fountain and then go for a bigger height offered by the pump so as to make sure that the height of the fountain is adequate enough to give a good water flow when it comes out of the fountain bubbler or the nozzle.

Just imagine if the water which is coming out is of very low intensity then it will mean that your fountain will not have any sort fountain so to speak.

That is they the large pools or ponds which have big fountains they require big water pumps and motors which have approximately say 2500 gallons per hour of capacity.

The smaller the height the lower is the GPH capacity you will need.

You can elect various heights of the pump as well as a lot of pumps come in special design casings alike a special terracotta cover or the special potted clay style design.

Make sure that the water fountain pump is there in the water all the time else it will be damaged when running dry and will fail.

Good brands like Beckett and Cal Pumps should be bought as opposed to other styles.

Drinking water fountains are normally used in the commercial establishments as well as public places such as hospitals, clubs, museums, institutes, any all tourist places which you can think of. Rarely would you see a drinking water fountain at home though that is not to say that you cannot install one.

The two inventors who started the drinking water fountain companies Halsey Willard Taylor and Luther Haws were motivated by the fact that they wanted to provide safe public drinking water to the public.

2009-01-19T12:30:00.001-08:00

Apart from the decorative indoor water fountains or the special pond/lake water fountains there are pet water fountains which are available.

These pet water fountains used are specially made with the type of pet in mind and that means the cat water fountain or the dog water fountain.

Brands available – The most famous brand that is available for the pet water is the Drinkwell pet water fountain or the Petmate or Catit Hagen

Benefits – The pet water fountains are much better than the cat jumping on the counter to demand from you the water from the bathroom faucet or what if the dog drinks the water from the toilet. That may be totally unhygienic for the pets and that is where the pet water fountain comes into the picture.

The water fountain has the huge reservoir which can hold up to 2 liters of water and the slow motor constantly aerates and rotates the water and does not allow it to be stagnant.

Then there are the filters which are there which are needed to catch all sorts of hairs and other stuff form going into the reservoir gain when the water is reused.

To keep the whole home and the pet hygiene it is always better to use the pet water fountains. In fact the name is a misnomer and it should be just drinking water source which is used for easy drinking water access for cats, dogs and puppies.

This will provide them very safe drinking water as opposed to drinking the unhygienic water.

Pond/Lake water fountains

2009-01-19T12:10:00.001-08:00

If you have a small pond in your backyard or in the villa that you won or even if you have a private lake then you need to have pond/lake water fountains.

These pond and lake water fountains look all the more good if you have lighting alongside them. Plus if you are already spending money on the pond fountain then you should actually also spend some extra money on the lighting kit and it will be give you a much more stylish lake fountain.

Benefits of a pond/lake water fountain – These are elegant and give that extra style to your won backyard plus the fact that these are known to stop the spread of algae and other contamination because of the running water and the lighting.

Specifications what to look for in the pond and lake water fountain-

Make sure that you are aware of the type of the aerator the fountain is and what kind of pattern does the fountain make. It all depends on the type of nozzle that can be attached on the fountain.

Price – The price of the fountain is based on the fact that what is the Hp or the horse power of the fountain motor is and what kind of the patterns does it make. There are other calculations which are done like the pond sizing and the lighting needed to make sure that pond or the lake fountain that you are buying is actually fit for the pond.

The prices start from something like $700 and can go up to $4000 also based on the various factors that I just suggested above.

For outddoors if you get enough sun then you can easily use the solar powered water pumps.

Caution : There are commercial and non commercial aerating pond/water fountains and you should make sure that you are only buying those for the home or he self use. The commercial pond aerating fountains are expensive and need quite a lot of maintenance.

The specification of the fountains generally come in the form of 1400JF 1/4 HP or the 2400VFX 1/2HP pond fountain. Do not get scared by this and I will explain the meaning of all this in my next post.

Maintenance of Interior And Indoor water fountains

2008-02-24T11:33:00.000-08:00

Maintenance of Interior water fountains

Maintenance of Interior water fountains or indoor water fountains is very important in-order to protect them from natural oxidation, it is always advisable to consult your fountain’s instruction manual before attempting any kind of cleaning process. There are different ways you can prevent algae from taking over your water fountain, as every fountain requires different care and you would definately not like to damage your fountain while trying your attempt to remove those algae. If special care and few tips are followed regularly it will help you to eliminate these problem for times ahead.

Copper Fountains which looks very elegant, these fountains are extremely durable and special care and maintainence is required to make them look beautiful for years and years. In-order to restore their elegance and shine certain tips are required to be followed:

What If a copper fountain color turns green? This is mainly because it is not powder coated, and over the time parts of the copper that get wet dries frequently would gradually turn green.

Suggestion : It is always advisable to have Clear Coated Copper or Powder Coating which is a heat baked, enamel finish that can be applied to the surface of the copper. This will in turn protect the surface of the copper from turning green and will also maintain the its shine and new look of the fountain over the years.

How shoud a copper fountain cleaned?

Suggestion : Make sure that a coating of Pledge wax to the surface of the copper is applied. This helps the water to bead up on the surface and prolongs the new fresh look of the copper. You should always use Pledge wax, or any similar household furniture polish, it should be repeated twice a week. Also, make sure that water does not remains on the edges of the copper.

What kind of water should be used?

Suggestions: It is recommended to use distilled bottled water for your fountains. Though one can also use the running tap water, but the calcium in the tap water will eventually solidify on the copper, slate, and other parts of the pump and spoil the beauty of the fountain.

How frequently should the fountain is filled?

Suggestion : The amount of water that each fountain consumes every day generally depends upon what type of fountain you have. It is advisable to add a small amount of water each day instead of adding loads after every few days. One should try to maintain a water level outlined in the fountain instructions manual. For special situations of plant growth you can use the fountains inside the indoor greenhouse

How often should the water to be changed from the fountain?

Suggestion : It is suggested to chnage the water when the entire cleaning of the fountain is done. It is recommended after every 4-6 months again depending upon the type of fountain.

It is unlikelyhood that anything will grow in the water, as in all the fountains their is tremendous amount of copper used which naturally keeps bacteria, mold, or mildew from growing in the fountain. This is simply a benefit of copper.

Slate1. What type of slate do you use? All of our slate is imported from India. Most of the colorful slate is called Rajah Multicolor, and comes from the northern region of India. We also use Jeera Green Quartzite in some fountains.
2. How do I clean the slate? You can use warm, soapy water and a hard bristle brush to clean some of the calcium deposits off. A product called CLR™ can be used to clean the slate as well. Rinse the pan and slate clean after using these products.
Fountain1. How do the fountains work? All the fountains are self-contained. The water is kept in the pan or basin, and there is a small, electric pump, which circulates the water to the top, out of the water dispersement, and down the surface of the slate, glass, pebbles, or marble.
2. Can my fountain be put outside? A complete and exciting line of Water Wonders outdoor fountains is coming soon! For the time being, you can put any fountain you currently have outside — provided that the outlet is a GFI-protected circuit. You must also be sure that no water or rain can get to the lights, as the lights are not rated for exterior use.

For decoartion of interior of the house you can use the indoor bonsai trees

3. Do the lights and pumps operate together? No. In most cases, each pump has its own cord, and the light hood (copper valence with lights installed) has 1 long 9’ cord. Once the lights are plugged in, you can actually switch each individual light on the housing in the light hood.
4. How do I operate the fountain? It is critical that the instructions are followed step-by-step in assembling the fountain. Every time the fountain is turned off, and then re-started, a boot-up process found in the instructions must be followed. Otherwise, the fountain will splash or run incorrectly.

Maintenance

We have carefully hand-applied a patina finish to your fountain's copper components. If you like this finish as much as we do, it can be protected from natural oxidation by following the instructions below:

Clear Coated FountainsApply Turtle Wax Hard Shell wax every two to three months. Pledge or another household furniture polish with a soft cloth will help with daily maintenance. Do not allow droplets of water to accumulate on the copper parts for a long period of time. DO NOT USE COPPER CLEANER, as this may damage your powder coated finish. In some areas of the country the water has a large amount of minerals. If you see white spots on the copper parts, they can be cleaned off with Calcium Lime Remover (CLR)® following the instructions on the bottle. Make sure that you rinse all cleaning agents off thoroughly before refilling and restarting your fountain.
