All About Picking The Correct Outdoor Water Fountains For A Yard
by Dawn Williams
All outdoor water fountains are not created equal. Still waters like those you find in simple birdbaths, ponds and other small containers often provide a profound sense of peace and reflection. Fountains have something a pond does not, movement, action and sound. These three things help people to focus their mind to see the greater picture of things going on around them. They also provide a focal point for objects surrounding them.
There are generally three different types of outside fountains that people purchase. The bubbling or cascading types are where the water moves up through a container and slowly runs down the sides. The spill over fountain where the water-flow generally runs out some form of spout and falls into a container or basin. The jet type where the liquid is forced up under pressure like a jet and falls in a stream to the catch basin.
There are also sub-types called disappearing fountain. This is where the water enters into the catch basin, it than spills over the outside on the ground which is generally covered up by stones and vanishes. In reality though it is flowing down to a hidden container that is under the ground after which it is pumped to very top again before it spills back down over the sides again. All 3 fountain types are easily converted to this sub-type.
One of the most versatile and generally the best suited for people's gardens is the bubbling and cascading fountain. They commonly have one fluid source located some where below the surface of the container on top. They are often made from different sized glazed pots. The liquid bubbles up to the surface before rolling over the outside edge and to a basin at the bottom. These are good for smaller places and generally make soft gurgling sounds.
With spilling fountains the upper basins are raised and often smaller than lower basins so the falling waterfall will make more noise. Be sure to listen to them before you will decide to get this type. The sound may be quite energizing for people, so they are often used in areas where they are good conversation pieces.
A jet type fountain is best for larger spaces where the sound will not be blocked and so it can be heard at a distance. This jetting makes them quite dramatic and inspirational. There are smaller and simple ones that can be placed into small areas that shoot tiny droplets creating almost the same effect.
All of these designs have something in common, choosing which one comes down to personal preferences. Look at what area it is going to be located in and what effect you are trying to make. There is no wrong style, it is just some will go in a place better than others would.
