Garden-Fountains.com Offers Tips for Buying Large Water Fountains Online
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 30, 2007 -- Researching and purchasing large water fountains online helps consumers find the exact water feature they are looking for, according to Kyle Widner, owner of Garden-Fountains.com. Because it can be a daunting task, Widner says, Garden-Fountains.com is offering consumers tips for buying water fountains online.
“The Internet allows consumers to easily compare, research, and choose from hundreds of models and styles of fountains”, says Widner, who has been selling water features and garden fountains online since 2001. A local garden center or even a big box home improvement retailer has limited square footage to dedicate to the fountain category. Online, consumers can see the complete offerings of several manufacturers, compare hundreds of styles, see detailed specifications and schematics, and learn about color choices and methods of construction.
For shoppers in rural or inner city areas, locating a broad selection of water fountains in a brick and mortar retail location can be a daunting task. Even the largest fountain manufacturers have limited retail saturation, making the internet the obvious source of information regarding water fountains.
Tips for shopping for water fountains online:
•
Don’t be tempted by price alone. Be sure to add in shipping and any other costs before evaluating the total purchase price.
•
Verify the fountain is a “re-circulating” fountain, which means it is self-contained and requires no external plumbing.
•
Determine if liftgate service is included in the shipping cost. Without liftgate service, you could be responsible for moving a pallet full of concrete fountain parts from the back of a truck onto your property.
•
If exact color is important, check the photo of the product on two different computers. Video cards, monitors, and even lighting in a room can affect how colors appear on a computer screen.
•
Make sure a fountain pump is included, and that it is U.L. listed.
•
Evaluate the return policy. Reputable online vendors offer a full money back guarantee on all items, except for custom or special orders.
•
When browsing online, bookmark the fountains that catch your attention. This makes it easy to go back later and select from your initial choices.
Most consumers use one of two approaches to adding a water fountain. The most common is to find a spot in the yard or garden and find a fountain to fill the spot. Another is to choose a specific style, and locate an area that would maximize the effect of the water feature. In either case, it’s best to begin online, researching the various styles and models available, and getting an idea what’s available and meeting any budgetary restraints.
Judging the Sound of a Water Fountain
An obvious limitation of buying a large water fountain online is the inability to hear the sound a fountain makes, often an important factor in selecting a water feature. “We’ve tried recording the fountains”, said Widner, “however, the representations are not very accurate. There are many factors that enter into the sound a fountain makes, including where it is placed”. Here is a guide to helping determine the sound a water feature will emit:
Sounds from a water fountain come from three sources; First, the distance water is falling, secondly, what the water is falling onto (rocks, fountain surface, or water), and lastly, how many levels the water falls. A single stream of water falling a short distance onto a surface, or water creeping down the side of an urn will produce little sound. A six foot tall, four tier fountain, with water cascading onto the water in the basin below, on four levels all the way around the fountain will produce an impressive volume!
Additional factors to be considered:
•
Water speed: Most fountains come with variable speed pumps. Increasing the speed and volume of the water can increase the sound.
•
Sound "reflection": A fountain, in a corner of a walled backyard will reflect more sound into the garden than a water fountain standing alone in the middle of a garden.
•
Water levels in the basin: Low levels of water in the basin means the falling water falls farther, and thus more sound. A high level of water in the basin reduces the distance the water falls, and thus lowers the level of sound.

Shower water filters are an essential component to any complete home water filtration system. A shower water filter allows you to enjoy a warm and relaxing shower, without the potential risk of exposure to harmful elements found in standard tap water. Chlorine is one of the biggest problems found in normal tap water. If your body is continually exposed to chlorine during a shower, it can lead to problems such as dry skin, irritated eyes or color distortion of the hair. This is due to the fact that chlorine strips the natural protective oils from the skin and hair, which leads to the excess dryness.

Drinking Water Filtration System: Not All Filtered Water Is Safe To Drink
Most water filtration system manufacturers would love to call their purifiers "drinking water filtration systems". While they often can't do that because of various government regulations, they succeeded in convincing us that most water filters are able to produce safe and tasty drinking water. Filtration system manufacturers only concentrate on stating how good their filters are at coping with some contaminants - they don't usually tell us what their filters won't do. And most of them won't do a lot of things.
The Importance Of Drinking Filtered Water
We see them every time we leave the house ? or we may even be a part of it ? the water bottle brigade; one of the numbers of busy professionals walking the streets with briefcase, cell phone, and bottled water in hand. Water has become our staple of good health as we follow the advice of experts who tell us that we must drink ? for maximum health ? at least sixty-four ounces of water a day. But when it comes to good health, how can we be sure that we are being best served by the water that we drink?

Regardless of how clean the water may appear, it should at least be filtered, if not boiled before drinking, to kill any disease-causing bacteria floating around in the water.
Home water filters: Gives you pure and tasty water

But the major concern is that the condition of pure water is deteriorating day by day due to relentless industrialization. And now to expect pure water from available water resources has become a thing of past.
