Considerations when purchasing an indoor fountain

• Indoor fountains can add an attractive feature to your interior decor, but be sure you consider the safety of children and pets first when deciding on a style and model. Indoor fountains should be placed out-of-reach of curious young children and should not accessible to thirsty pets—consider an indoor wall fountain at a height that restricts access.
  
  
• Indoor tabletop fountains must be placed on a stable surface. Fountains large enough for a small child to climb into should definitely be avoided altogether.
  
  
• Be sure your indoor fountain cannot splash onto surfaces that will become slippery when wet, such as tile or linoleum. Most modern indoor fountains do not splash, if you find your fountain does splash its surrounding area, return it and select a different style.
  
  
• Look for indoor fountain styles that are easy to transport and install. Indoor fountains made of fiberglass are lighter, but may require additional support for stability.
  
  
• A noisy pump on an indoor fountain will detract from your enjoyment. Fountain pumps should be silent, a noisy pump will often mean it is not working properly or is too small for the fountain style.
  
  
• Large indoor wall fountains require strong structural support with access to electricity supply. Be sure to consider the location of a wall fountain very carefully, you made need to add support to your preferred location for the fountain.
  
  
• Be careful when choosing resin or fibreglass indoor fountains—make sure that the surface is not painted with a material that will chip off or erode over time. Look for fountains with natural, realistic appearance resulting from the use of bonded natural aggregates or stone not just applied to the surface.
