Modern Water Fountains Work All Year Round, Indoors And Outdoors

Is your home or garden ready for a water fountain? How about both? When people think of water fountains they often visualize bulky, fixed installations in the form of a large corporate wall fountain, a heavy stone outdoor fountain or a glass and stone indoor fountain. This makes the idea of getting a water fountain feel like an expensive, elaborate undertaking. In the case of outdoor fountains there’s a fear that you’ll have spend significant time and money caring for something you’ll only enjoy during warm temperatures. But according to water fountain merchant Serenity Health, modern fountains don’t have to fit those stereotypes at all. While there are still grand, traditional fountains out there, many modern water fountains are lightweight, flexible elements of indoor and outdoor décor.

The variety and convenience of modern water fountains can be credited to two things: materials and fountain pumps. Each of these makes installation more convenient.

There are beautiful fountains available in slate, glass, metal and copper, there are excellent indoor and outdoor fountains in contemporary materials like, precision-molded ceramic and lightweight fiberglass. In addition, improved manufacturing and design means that even water fountains made of heavier materials are easier to assemble than they used to be.

Fountain pumps have vastly improved too. Water pumps are an ancient technology but small, inexpensive, high efficiency pumps are a relatively recent standard. These pumps are single, contained modules that attach to the fountain’s basin with simple suction. They’re easy to maintain and replace, and only require access to electricity to function reliably. This also means that fountain designs can be much more varied than they used to be, because there’s no need to incorporate a bulky pump right into the design.

Thanks to these innovations there are modern outdoor and indoor fountains available to fit any budget, from small tabletop fountains to more traditional, monumental outdoor water features. For example Serenity Health’s fountains can cost anywhere from under $100.00 to a water wall with embedded fiber optic lighting that retails for over $68,000. Best of all, modern fountains are easier to maintain and can be moved to new locations with relatively little effort – even between indoor and outdoor sites. This is an incredible advantage for anyone living in a colder climate because you can simply move your outdoor water fountain inside, to enjoy all year round. Fiberglass is an especially great material for this, because its exterior finish can reproduce the look of a far heavier stone counterpart. This portability not only takes care of seasonal concerns, but means that if you’re a renter or plan on moving in the near future, you can take your water fountain with you. As long as you have ready access to electricity, you can put these modern fountains virtually anywhere. Compact pumps also mean that there are fountains small enough to fit in nearly any living space, right down to the top of a table in a small apartment.

As you can see, there’s definitely a water fountain out there to fit your budget and lifestyle, so take a look around. Where do you want your water fountain?
