Location:

Remove debris, algae, and mineral deposits using a mild detergent and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains.

Indoor vs. Outdoor: The location impacts material and design choices.

Space Available: Measure the space to ensure the fountain fits comfortably without overwhelming the area.

Size and Scale:

Proportions:Choose a fountain size that harmonizes with the space. Avoid too large or too small fountains relative to the area.

Height: Consider the height for visibility and impact, especially indoors.

Material:

Maintenance:Consider how easy it is to clean and maintain the material.

Power Source:

Electric:Ensure access to a power outlet for most fountains.

Solar: Ideal for sunny outdoor locations without nearby power sources.

Battery:Offers flexibility but requires regular battery replacement or recharging.

Water Capacity and Flow:

Reservoir Size:Larger reservoirs need less frequent refilling.

Flow Rate: Choose a flow rate that provides the desired sound and visual effect.

Additional Features:

Lighting: Integrated LED lights enhance the fountain’s appearance at night.

Adjustability: Some fountains offer adjustable water flow and lighting for more control over the ambiance.
