Water fountains come in all
shapes and sizes. Indoor water fountains, outdoor
water fountains, table top water fountains,
fountains
that even cascade chocolate into a basin. Hotels
have water fountains in their lobbies
and homes have them outside in their yards.There is something that
attracts people to water fountains and it is the same thing that
attracts people to any water, be it the
beach, a river, a lake or the
ocean. It is extremely relaxing.
The traditional water fountains start with a source of water higher than the fountain, the water runs down hill into a basin or pool and drains away. The sheets of water sometimes flows over different surfaces of stone, concrete, or metal and this can give the soft sound of a babbling brook or the rushing sound of a stream or river depending on how fast the water is moving.
Modern water fountains have pump systems and can bring water from just about any source. A submersible pump allows people to have water fountains in their home, in their office, in their yards, on a table, on a desk, up against a wall, or free standing on the floor. Water fountains today are constructed so the water doesn’t need a source like a high hill but a tank that can be filled and kept full and the water can be circulated allowing the water fountain to be installed in places where there is no source except the water fountain itself. An example of this type are the indoor table top water fountains, indoor wall water fountains, and free standing water fountains. They are all beautiful and there is a style for everyone and every decor.
Beyond physical beauty and relaxation that water fountains provide, researches have found that water fountains can actually improve the quality of the air in your home or office. The “ionic” craze in the holistic approach to living says that we are surrounded by positive and negative ions all the time. Positive ions come from hair dryers, computers, microwaves, and TV’s. They pollute the air and when we absorb them we become tired, have less energy, and our health suffers. Water on the other hand, like the ocean at the beach, running water of streams, running water of rivers and fresh mountain air are filled with negative ions that help alleviate depression, relieve stress and boost energy. Water fountains can not only cost less than the ionic air purifiers on the market today but they are a lot prettier to look at as well. They can fit into any décor.
The effects of running water to relax and calm is well known to many. Water fountains with their running water are also known to be a natural sleep aid. If you have trouble sleeping, get a water fountain with a highly audible sound and put it in your bedroom or somewhere you can hear it as you are trying to fall asleep. Table top water fountains are perfect for your child's room. A water fountain with multiple streams can give the repetitive sounds that are soothing and can lull you or your child to sleep. Water fountains can also help drown out background noises that can keep you up. Also, the atmosphere of romance can be enhanced by the soothing, relaxing sounds of a water fountain.
Water fountains are constructed in a lot of places for many reasons. In Seattle, Washington the International Fountain was specifically designed as a bathing or splash fountain for people to use when the weather gets too hot. It has a play area that has a non skid, non slip surface and speakers with music. Splash fountains have zero standing water so no lifeguards are needed. Another splash fountain is in Tronto, Ontario Canada at Dundas Square. The Tronto fountain water comes up from nozzles under stainless steel grids in the ground. 600 underground nozzles in groups of 30 spray continuously so people can play in the water. The water is quality controlled to swimming pool quality in both of these splash fountains. To travel to see these beautiful fountains is easy and well worth it. Each city is unique and has a lot to see and do which makes for a great vacation.
