Indoor water fountains are available in three basic forms: small stand-alone desktop fountains, wall mounted fountains and waterfalls. Adding an indoor fountain or fountains to your decor is purported to increase prosperity, aid relaxation and help to naturally purify the air by producing negative ions.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Scout stores in your area that might carry indoor fountains--these include department or general stores plus, new age, Feng Shui, discount or even some garden shops. You might also luck out and find an indoor water fountain in a thrift store or garage sale. The most important thing is that the pump and actual fountain action work; you can always decorate or embellish later on.
Step2
Weigh the pleasure of immediate gratification against the possibility of big savings from purchasing your indoor water fountain online. Now that you've visited some stores you'll have a better idea of what you're looking at when you surf sites such as Discount Fountains and The Water Fountains Company looking for deals.
Step3
Shop the usual suspects like Amazon, Ebay and Craigslist before making a purchase. You may get lucky, but if you want a fountain right away you're more likely to find it in established local stores or online brokers that sell only fountains.

Tips & Warnings

  • Many indoor water fountains should be filled with distilled water to reduce mineral buildup in the fountain. Be sure to factor in the cost of distilled water when budgeting for your purchase.
