Top Ten Reasons to Add a Water Fountain to Your Home
1.
The sound of flowing water soothes us and helps relieve stress. People are drawn to water in many forms. We rely on the natural healing power of water to help us regain focus when we're stressed out. A water fountain brings this wonderful source of relaxation into your home, in a compact and economical form.
2. A water fountain will add a striking focal point to any room.. Water fountains are also unique decorative accents that will draw people in and make them want to linger nearby.
A water fountain transforms any room into a spa-like environment, taking attention away from design flaws or items in need of a style update.3. The sound of a water fountain will mask unpleasant background noise. Water fountains mask noise from traffic, construction, and neighbors with a comforting water sound.
4. Water fountains naturally humidify the air. . There are many things that can affect the humidity level in your home, including heating and cooling elements.
Unlike a humidifier, a water fountain won't cause condensation which can lead to mildew.5. Fountains emit negative ions, which can improve your health and the air quality in your home. Negative ions are produced when a water molecule ruptures.
They produce reactions in our bodies that can relieve stress and increase energy. A water fountain enriches your home with negative ions, which naturally attract impurities and remove them from the air.6. Fountains play an essential role in Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony and promote the flow of positive energy.
Flowing water will increase the positive energy in your house more than a bowl of stagnant water.7. A water fountain can help your children fall asleep faster, and sleep more soundly. The tranquil sound of running water will soothe your children to sleep, and mask noises that may keep them awake, such as a television in another room.
The gentle sound of a water fountain mimics the restful sounds of a mother's womb, comforting infants and helping them relax.8. Pets love fountains too! How many times have you walked into your bathroom to find your cat drinking water from a dripping tap, or seen your dog furiously lap up fresh water from a hose? Tabletop or floor fountains will be irresistible to your furry friends, and veterinarians agree that clear, fresh running water can improve their health.9.
Fountains are very easy to set up and care for. Some people may think of fountains as being time consuming, and difficult to maintain. With today's recirculating, self-contained fountains, this is simply not true. Most fountains require little or no assembly - you can just fill them up with water, plug in the pump and enjoy.
