Want to give an elegant and natural touch to your home? A pond fountain is the answer for this. It is an eye-catching feature that can amaze your guests once they see it.
A pond fountain is usually installed in a garden pond. This installation gives you two benefits. The first is its ability to beautify the pond itself, and the second is how it transfers oxygen and circulates water in order to promote healthy aquatic environment. Its existence makes the fish in your pond healthy as lack of oxygen can kill them.
You may think that installing a pond fountain is uneasy task. You will be surprised finding it is actually so easy. Only in few hours, you can build a beautiful pond fountain, even with the most basic skills and simple tools. Use your creativity to create unique look through all simple procedures.
To power the fountain, you need a pump. You will also need a filter since flowing water can be a media for growing algae and bacteria. Other tools you need are hose and tubing which are used to contain the electrical wiring. It is to protect your fish from any danger caused by the electricity.
A pond fountain also requires maintenance. Come on, it really works hard in providing a beautiful view, so it needs a "refreshing". Clean the basket filters or replace the active bacteria in the biological filter as what has been recommended by the manufacturers. You should turn it off first before cleaning it up. Make sure that the cleaning tools are removed completely before you turn it on in order to prevent these tools cause any danger to your fish.
You can add lighting to create a bright and direct view to the fountain, or also living creatures like frogs and alligators. Flowers will be a good idea if your wife does not want to see those creatures around.
