One of the most popular ways of enhancing the equity of your property is using outdoor fountains. Outdoor fountains are very attractive and they surely lift up the aesthetic element of the house. This, in turn, enhances the equity of the property. Leaving aside the aesthetic and economic benefits that you would accrue by installing an outdoor fountain, it also livens up the atmosphere completely. For that matter, even outdoor waterfalls infuse life and make the area look vibrant. Installing an outdoor fountain is the best thing that you can ever do to your property. However, you must also realize that it requires sufficient measures of maintenance too. These maintenance measures are not at all difficult—all it requires is sparing a few minutes twice a week. Let us see what you must do to maintain your outdoor fountain/outdoor waterfall: • Observe water: This is the most basic thing to do yet people often forget about it. Firstly, it is essential for you to treat the fountain/waterfall water with a chemical (algaecide) as it is susceptible to gaining algae etc. Algae not only damage the appearance of the fountain but it emanates foul smell too. You may treat the water with anti-scale treatment that does not let the minerals spoil the fountain.
