One of the best ways to bring the outdoors in is to add indoor wall fountains to your home or office. Unless you have been in an environment which incorporated indoor wall fountains, you do not know what you’ve been missing; there has even been research which supports the idea that indoor wall fountains can actually help employees perform better. And the increased productivity is not merely the result of the calming sound of the fountains’ trickling water.

Studies suggest that the motion of the water in wall fountains will load the surrounding air with negatively charged ions, and those ions can raise both energy levels and cognition, effectively making employees work both harder and with more intelligence. The negative ions are also capable of elevating moods, so that your busy, smart, workforce might also be a happy workforce.

The Wall Fountains Of Ancient Rome

The first wall fountains appeared in ancient Rome, and were apart of the Roman’s state-of-the-art-water delivery system which was one of the marvels of the ancient world. The Romans even devised a way to bill their citizens for water usage by measuring the nozzles attached to the pipes feeding into their homes. But the public wall fountains were free for every Roman citizen to use, and almost all of them did, despite the sometimes frightening aspects of the wall fountains. Many of them were carved to resemblance lions, the symbol of Rome’s strength and world domination.

Installing Your Wall Fountains

While you will probably not depend on your wall fountains in the same way that residents of the Roman Empire depended on theirs, you will certainly enjoy their visual appeal and soothing sounds. And installation of wall fountains is well within the scope of most home do-it-yourselfers. All you need to do is select the wall and the height at which you want to place the fountain, and then use a stud finder to locate the brace to which the wall fountain will be mounted.

You can expect your indoor wall fountains to weigh twenty-five pounds and forty-five pounds with added water, depending on the materials from which they are constructed. Those made of weathered stone will be lighter than those of sandstone. Wall fountains of molded resin are the lightest of all.

You can use the same sort of hardware to mount wall fountains as you would use to hang large pieces of art; however, the hardware will typically be included with the fountains. Your wall fountains will also probably have adjustable-speed pumps, allowing you to regulate the water’s flow and the sound it makes. You can expect years of reliable and easy care use from your wall fountains’ pumps.
