We are seeing more people installing wall mounted wall fountains in their condo over the past year. Why is this?

 

Maybe they like the relaxing sounds of the water after a hard days work or the natural humidity of the wall fountain so there condo does not have such dry air. Or maybe they love the stunning look as the water runs down the wall fountain with the light shining down the fountain. It is used by many as a piece of art.

 

So what are the top wall water fountains that people are purchasing? A lot depends on the size of your wall and the décor of your condo, but here is a list of the most popular selections.

 

Slate wall fountains are made of solid 1’ think natural slate. They come in many sizes and several slate color choices. No two slate looks are the same being a natural stone material.

 

Lightweight slate wall fountains are a thin slice of the natural slate, about 1/16” to 1/8” thick, that is applied to a hard backing board. From the front is looks just like natural solid slate just much lighter.

 

Marble wall fountains are the light the solid slate, 1” think pieces or marble that comes in several colors choices. This is a stunning piece.

 

These are some of the most popular water fountain face options for the wall fountains for your condo. If you would like a custom fountain please request one from us.

To understand the benefits of an auto fill and drain system for your water fountain; first you need to understand what this system is. Please read this blog post: Do you need a Water Auto Fill, Filter and Overflow Drain System for Your Custom Water feature?

 Here are my top 10 benefits to an auto fill and drain system:

1-The water level will stay consistent which will allow for consistent water sounds.

2-As the water enters the fountain it is run through a filter helping remove minerals in the water thus helping to eliminate white scale build up.

3-No manual labor needed to add water as it evaporates.

4-No chance of water level getting to low and damaging the pump

5-Cleaner and fresher water making better water flow

6-Less weekly maintenance keep fountain clean

7-Longer periods (extra 1-2 more months) between complete cleaning of water fountain

8-Use regular tap water and not distilled water

9-Less need for water chemicals to keep the fountain clean

10-Over flow drain prevents the fountain from ever being over filled and spilling on your wall or floor

 

There you have it. When purchasing a floor fountain or wall fountain you may want to see if this can be added to your fountain. You can also get this information by requesting your custom water fountain quote.
