It is not a secret that when water and electricity are combined one of 2 things can happen, it can create a uniquely beautiful masterpiece, or it will be a disaster. Because every decorative indoor fountain requires electricity to operate the pump and potentially a lighting system it is important to follow some basic steps and principles to avoid a potential disaster.

Make every effort to avoid water from touching the electrical outlet. First of all, this will require you to eliminate all splashing from the fountain.

Hi I am new to this site, let me introduce myself Ann.

The following information will assist you in maintaining the natural beauty of your indoor water fountain and help to ensure that you and your family and visitors to your home enjoy your fountain for many, many years to come.

When it was time for Jeanne to add water to her fountain she was nervous. It seemed like a simple task, yet she didn’t want to do anything wrong. She carefully read the instructions and this simple act saved the life of the fountain.  Never add tap water to a decorative indoor fountain!

Here is a comment I received that I thought was worth sharing.  Comments like this help make all the efforts of this blog and my site worth all the time and effort.

I added an indoor fountain to our home and we have not regretted it. It is so refreshing to come home and see the beautiful indoor fountain in our home. Just the sound of the water is enough to keep us at peace.

Interestingly, you can create a relaxing home with one, simple addition – table top fountains.  While this might sound too simple, you would be amazed at what a fountain can do to any home, regardless of how disheveled.

Face it, when we are sitting in the office and have a chance to think about something else, or wish we were somewhere else we tend to think about outside.  Take a look at the screen savers and wall papers on the computers of your co-workers.  It is safe to guess that many include pictures of outside and most likely water is involved.  There is something magically calming about water.  You not only have the opportunity to look at a picture of it, you can also see hear and even smell it. 

Do you feel that you can’t slow down and catch your breath in this fast paced society?  It’s a growing concern.  Many feel over worked and pulled in many directions and they are looking for a light at the end of a dark tunnel.   I believe this is why there seems to be an explosion in spas everywhere.

When most people are asked to conjure up a romantic experience or fantasy it is not a surprise that the ambiance of the location of the event is very significant.  The location is key to creating the perfect mood and atmosphere. Within that romantic scene or fantasy often water is somehow involved in creating the perfect mood.  Whether it is a romantic stroll along a river bank, listening to the soothing lapping of the ocean waves on the shore or the cheerful sounds of a brook babbling through a mountain meadow, water plays an important role in our romantic experiences.
