Whether you’re creating a relaxing outdoor “room” in a large backyard or making the most of a small balcony, the soothing sound of a bubbling fountain adds tranquility to any space.  They’re great for drowning out street noise or serving as a water source for birds.

Fountains that include solar-powered pumps are easy-to-install and don’t require electricity to run.  Water use is even minimized because the flow of water is recirculated through the fountain for a continuous supply.

From classic to contemporary designs, today’s solar fountains are available as  table top models, free-standing and even compact floating fountains for pools and ponds.

    I didn’t even know they made solar powered water fountains. I always thought a water fountain would be a good idea for our garden, but didn’t like the idea of running an electric cord out there.

    Thanks for the helpful post.
