A fountain can be designed for both outdoor and indoor settings. It is important to ensure an outdoor design matches the theme and color of the place.

The design is an important thing to consider before one sets up a fountain. There are a number of designs to choose from. There are custom made designs made to suit the preference of the client.

It is essential that the structure is maintained well. Among the crucial activities involved is to ensure that the structure has adequate liquid throughout. The liquid that is ejected into the air by the fountain is usually pumped by a pump. The falling down happens through gravity. Pumps are either electric or powered by gasoline.
