Garden fountains have long been used to enhance the natural beauty of outdoor spaces, from the palaces of Mesopotamia to your very own backyard! But besides the fact that these fountains are stunningly beautiful, they also provide a host of health benefits to deliver an astounding one-two punch of form and function!

The quick answer is "yes," and here are multiple reasons. For 1, the cascading water of the waterfall rupture the bonds that glue the water molecules together. This process releases negative ions into the atmosphere. Negative ions stick to positively charged particles, such as dirt and dust particles, allergens, pollen, bioaerosols, and a multitude of other airborne pollutants, toxins, and germs. When negative ions bond to these nasty agents, they neutralize one another. This helps clean the air, so you can now breathe easier and prevent the start of respiratory problems. Also an accumulation of negative-ions in the air will reduce asthma, and has also been linked to an enhanced overall body wellness. Much of your well being depends on how clean the air is your breathing.


An additional health benefit of installing a outdoor fountain is it will enhanced the focus and concentration, when can lead to mental soundness and a greater peace of mind. A garden water fountain accomplishes this through making what is called "white noise," a multi-frequency sound wave that can help drown out other sounds you do not want to hear, such as: (neighbors, tv in the next room, dogs barking, and or a baby crying). The first benefit of this, is greatly improved and deeper relaxation. Now with no loud noise you can rest peacefully, listening instead to the relaxing sounds of smooth flowing water. A benefit of such restfulness, is the accumulation of serotonin in your cranium. Serotonin, a neurotransmitter, specializes in enhancing your mood: as you hear your fountain, you may feel yourself becoming more relaxed as you are lulled into a mental state of deep relaxation.

After installing your garden fountain, and seeing all these wonderful health benefits for yourself, you'll surely want to keep your fountain running smoothly for years to come. Fortunately, garden waterfalls are not to much work to try and maintain. Your cleaning method will depend on the material your new water fountain is composed of. For all fountain types, however, make sure your garden fountain rests on a flat, level surface for an even water flow and distribution. Also, make sure your fountain uses distilled water, as tap water and ground water can clog the pump or increase mineral buildup. For stone and ceramic fountains, try using a Calcium Lime Remover to get rid of mineral buildup. To treat algae, be sure to use an animal-safe solution, as birds will likely use your water feature as a watering hole. Your fountain should be cleaned every 4-6 months. See? It's pretty easy.
