Home waterfall is not at all luxury. The gentle murmur of the current water soothes and relaxes, the soft humiductable air has a beneficial effect on the body - after all, it is excessive dry air prevents oxygen in the circulatory system, leading to fast fatigue, increases the risk of respiratory diseases, speeds up the skin aging process. So room fountain is an additional source of health and youth. And it becomes the original element of the interior design.
Our fountain waterfall was decorated with a double living room - on a lined natural stone. The walls of the wall smoothly flow the jet of water, getting into a narrow, elongated the pool along it. The bottom of the bowl is decorated with multi-colored stones, sinks, starfish, and a soft curved side is decorated with a motley mosaic. Evergreen plants grow around the edges of the pool.
The design of such a fountain is quite simple. A silent mini-pump with a power of about 20W with power supply from a lowering transformer 220 / 12B takes water from a container located under the podium, and on the metal-plastic pipeline raises it to a narrow overflow chute, from which water is poured onto the wall and flows into the receiving water. (Depending on the model, the pump performance can be 0.5-1.0 m3 / h, the height of the water lift is 1-2m.) The uniformity of the movement of the aqueous flow along the wall is achieved by experimental pathways - due to the lung tilt of the overflow gutter to the other side. After the desired result is obtained, the chute is fixed in the position found. The bottom of the artificial reservoir is made with a slight bias to the drain hole connected to the container, from where the water is taken. Thus, in this room waterfall, in contrast to natural, water moves in a circle. The soft opening is installed a mechanical filter that protects the fondan fondan pipe from clogging. To increase the service life of the pump on the pipeline, a cartridge filter is mounted, performing mechanical water purification.
To the artificial waterfall always please you, without having no hassle, when building a fountain, you need to take care not only about its competent engineering device, but also about the right installation, including both the installation and connection of aggregates and reliable waterproofing of all places where it should be or may There is water.
Let's start with the fact that the fountain equipment takes quite a bit of space and can be located in the podium. It should be provided with access to it for periodic service.
Installation of the fountain requires a pipeline liner by which the water will flow into it and merge into the sewage system. It is necessary to replenish water losses caused by evaporation. The water-receiving vessel is connected to the water supply and equipped with two sensors that signal the need to replenish its reserves (minimum level) and filling the tank (maximum level). The topping of water can be carried out manually, but it is still better to equip your home waterfall with simple automatic automatics, able to take care of the "crying" wall in your absence. In addition, when the sensor is triggered, the lack of water will turn off the pumping pump, which will exclude the work of the device "dry" and prevents the premature way out of order. Yes, and do not forget that all the tubes and the fountain tubes in order to avoid the appearance of rust should be plastic.
Now a few words about waterproofing. The bottom and the walls of the mini-pool were impaired with a solution based on dry waterproofing mixtures, after which they were tiled. Special attention was paid to the place of the joint of the wall with the bottom of the pool - it was sicked by a waterproofing bitumen-polymer ribbon. The wall in which water flows is treated with a hydrophobic emulsion that attached the surface of water-repellent properties.
A serious problem associated with the continuous work of the home fountain can be increased air humidity. Indeed, in the warm room with an open surface of the pool, active evaporation of water occurs. But water vapors can be absorbed by air not infinitely, but only before reaching the saturation state corresponding to the air temperature in the room. After that, excessive moisture begins to condense on the surfaces whose temperature is 5-10 at a certain level (dew point). Iproof, if everything is limited to the winds swamming. Warm wet air rises up and, if you do not dry it, it begins to slowly destroy building structures, elements of interior finishing. The furniture suffers. Yes, and for the health of a person, the crude air is unfavorable, because no wonder the sanitary norms are regulated for residential premises its relative humidity of 50-60%.
Solve the problem of excessive humidity caused by indoor waterfall can be different. If there is air conditioning, it will perfectly cope with this task. At first, it is necessary to periodically turn on and off the device manually. Avoiding experienced by the desired segments of the time of its operation and downtime, connect the electronic timer to the control circuit.
