The Benefits of Owning a Fountain

Whether at work or at home, its seems like everyone is a little stressed these days.  We all need a way to relax while we are at work or wind down once we get home.  Water fountains are a great, economical way to spruce up any home or office while creating a serene and comforting environment.  Stress can cause a variety of health issues including headaches, high blood pressure, and insomnia and over 75% of people suffer from stress.  The sound of soft running water is proven to help reduce stress and increase relaxation making a table top fountain the perfect addition to any office.  The sound of water also helps drown out other back ground noises and distractions making it easier for you to focus and allowing you to get more work done.In addition to their health benefits, indoor fountains can also help improve the air.  They help increase the air humidity and can often times replace loud, expensive humidifiers.  Water is also a natural magnet for dust, pollen and allergens and acts as a purifier helping decrease air borne allergens.  Regular humidifiers can also get mold and mildew build up quickly where as a fountain with moving water will not do this. An indoor fountain can also help your plants by adding extra humidity that is lost when heat or air conditioning units are running.A fountain can easily add beauty to any room, office or landscape.  Indoor fountains can act as accents or center pieces to add personality and aesthetics to any space while outdoor fountains make landscapes more relaxing and can attract local birds and wildlife to your garden. No matter what type of fountain you decide on, you are sure to reap the benefits of its calming nature.
