The main elements of landscape design are flowerbeds, lawns and paths. Very stylish, they will be combined with a pond. But if you are not near a pond or river, do not worry. After a rest of the day as possible and under purl artificial water flow.

Garden fountains for the garden is just designed to solve this problem. They can be quite different both in shape and in the water supply method. Exterior design largely depends on the functional characteristics of the fountain:

• power flow;
• technical level;
• the movement of water.

Fountain Key elements

The design will not work properly without the precisely calculated water supply. This process is provided with special equipment. In addition to dispensers, optional elements ornamental garden fountains are:

• pump;
• water level control sensors and wind speed;
• filtration system;
• water treatment system;
• lighting effects;
• the entire control system design;
• bowl.

One of the most important components of any fountains for gardens is a pump. It provides an uninterrupted supply of water to support optimal pressure. Its acquisition is carried out well before the installation.

For the device of garden fountains, it is suitable as submersible, so superficial pumps. Now there is a wide range of models that are characterized by price, performance and quality. The main criterion when choosing pumping equipment is the frequency of functioning, the planned type of sprayer and the height of the jet.

The main purpose of the sensors controlling the water level in the system is the automatic maintenance of the required amount of fluid. During the rain, they eliminate the fountain from her excess, and in hot weather fill the design with water.

Wind speed sensors are able to change the pump performance with the change of direction and streams of wind streams. With a sharp decrease in air temperature and strong wind, the sensors completely stop the water supply.

The filtration system provides a fountain with clean water. For the construction of a garden fountain, you can buy:

• quartz sand-based filter;
• or bio filter with ultraviolet lamp for disinfection.

When it is purchased, they are guided by the amount of water supplied to the fountain.

The water preparation system is responsible for the internal content of the fountain bowl. There are adding various substances that lead to the appearance of microorganisms and do not allow water flowering.

The light effects of garden fountains in the photo and in reality are achieved through the installation of submarine LED lamps. Using the software, the original lighting is created, which is characterized by the variety of dispersion modes.

Pumping equipment, sensors and lighting elements are driven by means of a design management system. It is a block, something similar with a cabinet or a box.

You can use the energy of the Sun. The garden fountain on the solar battery is a rather original design. In addition to magnificent decorative qualities (artificial grottoes, falling aquatic streams, unique compositions of a sculptural nature), it will save money to pay for personal energy resources.

A variety of products can act as a bowl. You can use an old bath or use the finished plastic design of a certain form. It all depends on personal preferences of the owner of the country real estate.

Very stylish look of the garden fountains polyresin. Made of artificial stone, such constructions are characterized by a variety of color schemes, configuration and structure. The only nuance is that during operation do not put mechanical stress on the fountain.

Creating design

The process of creation of garden fountains with their hands includes the implementation of two major steps:

• excavation;
• bowl installation.

Dug pit should be 3-6 cm below the height of the cup installed. It should be located below ground level vegetation. And it is necessary to prevent the undermining of the soil and near the bowl. Immediately should provide for the availability of the trenches for wiring.

Conducting further action is performed, based on the size of the fountain. In the case of a large construction should take care of the creation of the foundation. After filling it with sand pit sidewalls are strengthened brickwork.

If the fountain is small, on the bottom of the pit is placed a 5-cm layer of drainage gravel. He placed on top of the bowl, which should not wobble. Immediately run the cable from the pump to the nearest outlet. It uses PVC tube that is placed in the prepared trench and covered with earth.

The side and bottom of the bowl covered with special film. It is designed to keep the water in the fountain. It is also necessary to close up the existing joints and joints with frost-resistant silicone sealant.

Design principle of functioning quite simple:

• the water ejected through the nozzle;
• it is collected in a bowl;
• excess fluid flows into the drain;
• water flows to the filter cleaning;
• pump sends it to the nozzle.

Overflow through the outermost portion of the bowl is prevented by creating an emergency drain.

Creating tap system comes from the plastic tubes (usually the diameter is 16 mm). They do not corrode, will last a long time and are easy to assemble. Fixing the pump in most cases it is done in the central part of the bowl. Before his cover with protective strips, checks system health.

The variety of decorative solutions

At the last stage, the garden fountain is made. In the design of design design, direct "participation" take fluid supply regulators, pumps for a garden fountain and a sprayer with a head. That is, those elements that form the height of the jet, the movement of the aqueous stream with the splashing type and the appearance of bubbles.

There are many diverse sprayers (both simple and complex):

• turntables;
• single;
• tier;
• ring;
• fish tail;
• tulip;
• bell;
• sphere;
• geyser, etc.

The appearance of the design can be enjoyed using both ordinary stone and its elements. A unique solution will be the transformation of the fountain in the spring or a stream, breaking through between stone structures. To do this, it creates an elevation of various stones in which the extreme part of the nozzle is placed. The design of the structure is laid out by a stone.

For Country Style lovers, the design of the fountain in the garden is complemented by milling blades, wooden wheels, vases and pots. You can land and wildflowers near the fountain.

The main rules for the care of the construction are:

• their accommodation away from trees and shrubs (will not often be clogged);
• treatment with waterproofing composition (when the crack occurs);
• preparation for winter.

The last item involves a thorough washing of the fountain and covering the vinyl film. So you can avoid snow and dirt. If there is an opportunity to dismantle a fountain for winter, then it needs to be done. This will increase the construction period.
