How to Install a Garden Fountain Kit
There is nothing more pleasant, after a grueling day, than to relax in the garden and wash away the daytime stress. An outdoor fountain will help you do just that. Garden fountains are pleasant to look at and relaxing to listen to as well as having many beneficial health effects.
Many home owners, with very little prior experience, are installing water fountains in their own gardens. Here is how to do it.
Step One – Planning
As with any project, good planning leads to an excellent conclusion. Measure the area where the outdoor fountain will be situated. This may be the whole garden, an area that has a defined border, a patio, deck or courtyard.
Garden fountains come in all shapes and sizes and it is important to have a water feature that does not look out of place. An outdoor fountain that is too large will dominate an area and look out of place. If the water fountain is too small, it will be ineffectual and pointless.
Although not necessary, it may be advisable to install a separate power outlet that will be hidden by the garden fountain. it will be more aesthetically pleasing not to have power cables where they can be seen. An on/off switch needs to be located nearby. A local electrician will be able to advice.
Step Two – Research
When you know where you want the water fountain to be, it is time to research the many styles available. There are plenty of good sources online that will help you select the outdoor fountain that would suit your project the best.
When you have made your choice, most suppliers will have the fountain delivered to your door in a matter of days.
Step Three – Installation
Most garden fountains are supplied in kit form. Each fountain is packaged with all the parts necessary to complete your fountain installation project. Even with custom built water fountains, the parts usually arrive together in the same package to make installation easy.
Kits will have all the pieces ready for you to assemble in situ which makes transporting from the front door to its final location a simple task.
At the bottom of the water fountain is the reservoir where the water is held. It is important the reservoir is level. Time should be taken to make sure that this is correct as the final result rests on this one calculation.
Depending on the style you have chosen, installation usually means connecting the lower basin or reservoir to an electric driven water pump with a pipe of feed tube. A pipe leading from the pump connects one basin to another and finally to the outlet at the top of the fountain.
When the assembly is complete, it is time for the all important test. Fill the reservoir or lower basin with water to about one inch from the edge. Ensure that the pump is completely immersed below the waters surface.
Switch on the pump and in a few moments, as the pump is primed, water will come cascading from the top. Check for leaks and top up the water to the required level.
Congratulations, you have installed your outdoor fountain. Further information on water fountains and installation is available online
