The fountain has one or two motor-driven pumps (also called bilge
pumps), which are submerged in water. The pump goes in the reservoir,
or, in a two-pump fountain, in the reservoir and the top basin.
It may or may not be encased in a filter box, which -- just like the
filter in a swimming pool -- helps keep out debris. You'll need to
install the pump and connect it with a power source -- either an
electrical cable or a solar panel. Don't turn the pump on until you've
filled the fountain. Pumps aren't meant to circulate air, and they can
be damaged by being run dry.
Before installing a wall fountain,
you may want to have an electrician visit your house to install an
outlet and a switch on the wall in question, in such a way that the
power cord -- but not the switch -- will be behind the fountain when
it's installed. A hanging cord can ruin the dramatic visual effect of a
wall-mounted fountain.
An outdoor fountain,
beyond these components, may involve a plastic liner. Any fountain that
requires digging or excavation needs to be treated like a pond: You
have to contain and manage the water. Once you've set a fountain into
the ground, it's not so easy to relocate it. Plan this installation
carefully.
