Wall mounted fountains make exceptional additions to any home and garden, but their proper care and maintenance requires knowing a thing or two about what makes wall fountains operate the right way. If you want to get the most out of your wall fountains, installing them correctly and then using them right is the best way to make that happen. For example, if you want your wall fountains to be installed correctly, it is important to know how much the fountain weighs and what type of surfaces are strong enough or otherwise adequate to handle them.

For example, while small cast resin wall fountains may be ideal for a wall inside the home, you will have real difficulty if you try to hang an intricately carved stone version of the same fountain on the same type of wall. Make sure that your wall fountains and your walls work well together before you try to do any mounting, otherwise you may find yourself with a real problem on your hands.

Here is another tip when it comes to wall fountains that most people do not consider. You should absolutely never let your fountain run dry while the motor is on. If there is no water in the fountain, the pump may burn out. You should check the amount of water in your fountain at least every day. You should also consistently check for leaks or cracks or other issues. A good way to check for leaks is to turn the fountain off, fill it to the brim, and wait to see what happens.

Wall fountains should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. You should also frequently change the water out whenever you can. Depending on the temperature of the water and the level of evaporation, you may or may not see a build up of a white residue on the surface of the fountain from mineral content gathering in the water supply. Wall fountains that do not have painted surfaces, antique stains or washes may also experience effervescence and mineral deposits due to the natural alkali content occurrence in the water.

You should never use any kind of an abrasive program that could potentially damage the finish applied to the wall fountains. If you want to prevent this build up without using any potentially harmful chemical, the suggestion is to use a product known as Protec, which is recommended to prevent growth of algae and minerals in the water. Even chlorine can damage the pump in the fountain and the fountain's surfaces.

When you buy wall fountains, you should read all of the literature that you receive. This includes any information that you receive regarding your fountain's pump, especially when it comes to proper care and cleaning. You should always make sure that the pump is plugged into a properly grounded junction box that has a GFI receptacle.

You should also protect your wall mounted fountains from freezing. If your fountains are concrete, you should store them indoors rather than allowing water to freeze inside the bowls outside, because this will cause cracking. Simple, small hair line surface cracks can be quite common to all products constructed from concrete, because of the changes in temperature experienced outdoors, as well as the natural weathering that concrete wall fountains undergo over time.

It is important to fully understand the care and keeping of your wall mounted fountains so that you care for them properly from day one. If you care for your wall fountains right from the day that you install them, you can enjoy their beauty, tranquility and serenity for years upon years to come.
