A garden fountain recirculates the same water through a small pump, and the plumbing is a simple loop of supply and return. Most fountain problems are pump or debris issues.
The pump
A submersible pump sits in the basin and pushes water up through the fountain, and it is rated by the height it must lift the water.
The basin
The basin holds the water, and its size sets how often you refill from evaporation and splash. A bigger basin means less topping up.
The line
The supply line runs from the pump to the fountain top, and it must reach without kinking or rubbing on sharp edges.
The maintenance
Leaves and debris clog the pump intake and the nozzle, so a strainer and regular cleaning keep the flow strong. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Fairfield, hard water scales the nozzles.
The winter
The pump and the lines are drained and stored before a freeze, or the basin water expands and cracks the fountain.
