Artificial fountain with their own hands. Production of decorative indoor fountains. Choosing a suitable place

A small homemade pond in the frame of correctly selected plants is always a highlight country plot. And so that he looked more spectacular, you can install the fountain. How to make a fountain with your own hands, and what will you need for this?

Varieties of fountains

On the appearance The fountain affects the number of nozzles, their location, water supply force. The jets can splash on the sides, beat strictly up, smoothly drain along the walls of the structure. Depending on the water supply method, all fountains are divided into several types.

Table. Types of fountains

Type of construction	Main characteristics
	The most common option in the country areas. Water is fed under a slight pressure, so the jet rises low, and the nozzle distributes it evenly around the circumference. Due to this, the hemisphere from the water film is formed, in which the sun's beams are beautifully refracted.
	In such a fountain, the water supply pressure is much stronger, the jet are thrown up or sides (it depends on the location of the nozzle). Adjusting the pressure of the pressure, you can change the height of the jets in fairly wide limits.
	The most spectacular option: the design consists of several containers located at different levels, and water, stained, forms a stepped mini-waterfall.
	A complex design in which a cascade option is combined with a geyser or a fountain bell. It looks very impressive, but also the effort to the construction requires more.

Choosing a kind of fountain, you need to take into account not only its decorative qualities, but also the complexity of the installation, the cost of all components, as well as the overall design of the plot and the size of the reservoir. For example, a fountain bell is best suited for a very small, for a more spacious - geyser or combined option. If the garden with reservoir is decorated in eastern style, the perfect choice There will be a fountain cascade.

Fountain selection

The correct location of the fountain not only provides the maximum decorative design, but also makes it easier to care for it during operation. If the fountain is located on a fully open area, which is actively heated by the sun, water will faster evaporate and blossom.

Having made a room fountain with their own hands at home, you can not only save a rather large amount of money, but also acquire a useful decoration of the interior. According to Chinese Feng Shui teaching, the water symbol located in the northwestern part of the dwelling provides wealth in the family. An excellent personification of the mobile element in the house can be a murmur stream, a cascade of waterfalls or another form of fountain.

Small decorative cascades for the interior decoration must be made taking into account the fact that constantly arriving water at home is to merge nowhere. This means that the amount of fluid that is in the system must be permanent. To comply with this requirement, the fountain installed in the room needs to be done on a closed cycle. In this case, the water will be collected in the accumulative capacity. The pump mounted in the system should raise it to the top point of the structure, from where the liquid will be strengthened, again falling into the tank.

In order for a thin striking while beautifully flowed, dripped or beat up, decorative obstacles from seashells, stones, shards or other items should be made on her way. IN Ancient China And Japan specially trained masters built a channel for a stream so that he is beautifully bored. The "Water Music" Adjustments created real masterpieces from ordinary pebbles, laying them so that cascades were formed with deepening, which fell drops and trickles, producing noise characteristic for the stream or waterfall.

What to prepare for work?

To create a mini fountain, you need to pick up a suitable pump. Its power depends on the height on which the liquid will be raised. This value is dictated by the design sizes and is determined individually. If you want to make a fountain with your own hands so that the jet of water beats up, it is better to buy a pump with greater power and a regulator. To assemble a small desktop cascade, quite a fairly aquarium pump for water filtration.

Before making a fountain with your own hands, you need to prepare:

the reservoir in which water will be drain;
silicone tubes;
waterproof glue;
materials for decorating the product.

The tank bowl must be roomy. In addition to its direct function, the collection of fluid circulating in the system - it will serve as a basis for a composition of stone or other materials. Some of them can be placed directly in the tank.

What if there is no pump?

A low-power pump that can raise water to a height of about 20 cm, can be made independently. For this we need:

motor from a children's toy, a camera or another, protected from water from entering;
batteries (from phone or finger);
charging connector if a mobile phone battery is used;
lEDs - at will;
switch of any type;
electric pipe;
plastic gear;
a small round capacity (cap from aerosol, plastic bottle);
waterproof glue.

From the gear from an unnecessary mechanism to make an impeller for water supply: adjust the wheel under the diameter of the circular tank, to stick the cross-shaped 4 piece of plastic on the shaft: Fig. eleven). Drill a hole in the bottom of the tank for the motor shaft, and in the side - for water. Engine shaft inside the tank, glue the motor housing to the bottom of the pump tank outside, and the impeller is fixed on the shaft inside (2). Cut off a piece of plastic, make a small hole in it, take the open part of the pump housing. To the opening in the side to attach the tube and seal the compound (3). Test wires to a motor and thoroughly isolate the connection, protecting from water. For this suitable any sealant.

To mount the motor connection to the power source, use the scheme (4). It is important to remember that the batteries should be not available for moisture. You can fasten them on the outside of the pool, here to glue and switch.

In the diagram, you can enable the resistor to adjust the rotational speed of the motor or LEDs for decorative illumination.

Methods of assembly

Homemade or purchased pump must be attached to the bottom of the tank (cumulative capacity). Its depth should be such that the pump is completely immersed in water. Hide the pump can be different: put on top of it the mesh cover on which the pebbles or shells depicting the bottom of the reservoir will be laid or hide inside the large decor. One of the design options is a dry fountain - it provides for a fully hidden surface of the water in the accumulator. To do this, on top of it you need to put the grille and secure the stones. Water will pass through the stones into the container without forming the visible pool. Fig. 2.

How to make a mini fountain in the apartment with your own hands from ceramic pots (Fig. 3), tells a small master class:

1 Prepare 2 ceramic pots and 5 pallets (2 large and 3 small). Cover their waterproof varnish, drill in the center of 1 larger and 1 smaller pallet hole for the tube. At the edges of the pallets make rugs to flow water.
2 Install at the bottom of the pump reservoir, sticking to the scheme in the figure. Close it large in size in the pot, and the tube is output through its drainage and drilled holes in pallets on the very top of the design.
3 Set a smaller pot and secure the pallet on it. The next tier consists of 2 small pallets (one is turned over and serves as the basis for the bowl from the other). Pallets should be placed so that the holes that are screwed in their sideboards allowed water to overflow from one to another, forming a cascade.
4 decorate the fountain, with your own hands collected from the most simple Materials, beautiful pebbles, plants and shells, figures of aquatic animals or birds.

Such a miniature reservoir can be put on the table or take him a special corner among the bedroom plants. Overflowing water will not only revive and decorate the composition, but also will allow a little to moisten the air.

Waterfalls in the room

Stylish and fashionable interior decoration is a vertical waterfall (Fig. 4). This kind of room fountain is not much more complicated than the desktop mini fountain. The only difference is the power of the pump for such a major structure. When searching for the pump, you need to pay attention to the fact that the height of the lift of the water column was at least 1.8-2 m. It will give the opportunity to arrange a water wall or a stream, originating under the ceiling of the room.

Before making a home waterfall, you need to perform water waterproofing in case of a tank leakage. To do this, polyethylene film can be used. It is advisable to close the floor section by 15-20 cm more than the perimeter of the future facilities.

For the panel on which water will be flown, you will need:

tolst glass or mirror;
bruks 5x5 cm for support racks;
boards for the base of the upper cover;
pipe plastic diameter 2 cm for water distribution on glass;
bar or thick board for the step of the retainer.

The device of the feeding fountain system is the same as discussed above.

Over the pallet of the fountain, you need to install and fasten the board with an emphasis for fixing the glass in a vertical position. Loop the frame from the support bars and crossbars from above. The role of the crossbar can play a horizontal plank of the top cover.

The segment of the plastic water pipe, the length of which is equal to the width of the glass panel, drill on one line along the axis. Holes should not be located too far from each other so that there is no impression of individual pips. Muffle one end of the sprinkler tube, consolidate it behind the top cover. Set the backlight if necessary.

Glass panel put vertically, supervised the lower edge into the step of the retainer. Attach on liquid nails to the supporting brusches side parts. In order for water to be spread outside the panel, it is necessary to stick onto the edges of glass, wood, plastic on its edges.

Install in the pump pallet, spend the tube for supplying water upwards to the open end of the distribution pipe. Connect, seal the connection. Hang the front of the top cover. Perform the decorative finish of the home fountain with your own hands on your own taste. Through the set of holes in the pipe sprinkler, the water jet will fall on the glass and drain along it into the pallet, creating the illusion of the incident flow.

Materials for decorative finish room Fountains, with your own hands performed in the desktop or outdoor options, It can be found in pet stores (color soil, locks, shells, ships in the aquarium departments). In flower salons Sell bamboo supports for plants and beautiful containers. In souvenir departments, artificial bonsai, bird figures and animals can be found.

There is nothing more pleasant how to relax after a working day under a quiet splash of water in a man-made stream. The decorative functions of the fountain are perfectly combined with its main purpose - moisturize the air indoors. Supplement to jets of flowing water can be made living room plants.

The modern rhythm of life created by people, they themselves and tired, depletes their nervous system, constantly experiencing stress. Day overvoltage often leads to problems with sleep, and in the fight against this nuisance, a small room fountain becomes our reliable ally.

The main advantages of decorative home fountains are aesthetic pleasure and humidification. If the room is a small fountain, then there is a need for an air humidifier, besides the "fountain" method of moisturizing the atmosphere looks more natural. If this fountain is quite large, then it will create the most comfortable microclimate in the home for all its inhabitants: people, plants and animals.

We select the fountain under the interior

When choosing a decorative home fountain, the size of the room should be taken into account. In a spacious room, a small table version of the fountain can be lost simply, but outdoor mini fountains For an apartment with a bowl of more than a meter in diameter, they will certainly become one of the centers of attention throughout the room - enough moisturizes and refresh the air. Also spectacular in the interior of the apartment in the presence of a sufficiently large free space look artificial wall-mounted compositions representing a decorative drip or thread fountain. True, we should not forget that heavy building materials, such as cast iron and a stone, are applied during the arrangement of wall fountains, so such decorations can only be treated in strong and reliable walls.

Depending on the room interior, you need to choose a fountain material, which is usually represented by glass or artificial stone. Indoors decorated in minimalism or high-tek style Perfectly fit steleshrouded in a film of falling water (the so-called "wet wall"), especially considering the fact that It takes one of the main roles.

In the bedroom It is best to find small ornamental desktop fountains and waterfalls, in the evening capable of serve as an exquisite nightnam. Particularly appreciated desktop fountains with backlit - muted light in combination with quiet murmur of water will be the best background for waste to sleep (especially for children). As you can see, in these cases we can already talk about the therapeutic effects of the decorative fountain, and it means that its functionality is even more expanding. And if you buy a fountain model in St. Petersburg not only with backlight, but also with a fog - you will provide your bedroom not only with an additional decor, but also an element creating an intimate environment.

Ideal with a sculpture depicting grotto, waterfallor Water mill. Typically, the sold waterfalls for such premises are equipped with pots, where you can plant live plants, as well as backlight and an additional humidifier. Niche under the stairs, by the way, can also become a very suitable place for the device there "mountain waterfall".

With the question where to buy a fountain for the house, contact a worldwide network - several addresses of the stores closest to you stores will probably give out or show, on which sites you can order these fountains. But at the same time, if you plan to buy home fountains in the online store, ask how noisily his pump is working. Usually pump power directly affects the degree of noise of construction therefore should not be chased for too powerful options. The noise of water should prevail over the sound of the pump.

Illuminated fountains

Even the most trivial fountain can be made magic, if you apply the backlight to it, which can be different:

Using underwater backlight arises the effect of luminous water . If you want to make an outdoor fountain for the house with your own hands in such a way that you get a real festive extravagania, then you need a backlight, rotating using a special mechanism. A very responsible torque of underwater illumination equipment is the laying of wires into the waterproof bus. It must be equipped for more safety automatic interrupter, triggered when current leakage. According to the safety requirements for underwater illumination, only 12-volt lamps can be used: halogen, fiber optic or LED, connected via a transformer.

For Water surface lighting Better lamps are located above the water around perimeter . To emphasize a separate element of the composition, a beam of directional light is used. The point lamp can be attracted to one detail.

Varieties of unusual indoor fountains

Fountain paintings

Water elements are very unusually interesting and interesting, which are indoor decorative fountains for an apartment in the form of paintings. For example, the picture shows a landscape with a waterfall, and the entire landscape, as usual, is drawn, but the water in the waterfall is real. At the same time, the design of the fountain is such that the water does not fall into the floor, and is captured by a special flow, mounted in a frame, from where it comes back to the tank, a closic cycle. Buy decorative fountain-case can practically in any souvenir shop - today they are very in demand, so the sellers seek to keep up with the fashion and provide the buyer all new interior design.

Fountain "Wet Wall"

Aqua interior can be created not only by traditional room table fonts, but also more unusual means. One of these techniques is the fountain " wet Wet": On lined ceramics, stone or waterproof mosaic wall flow at different speeds drops, trickles, and finally, water flows. In the floor there is a waterproof waterborum unit, from which water returns to the top. A variety of water supply modes, backlight and wall lining makes it possible to obtain numerous transitions and effects. Such a wall of water amazes, shocking, causes to be dumbfounded, but will not leave anyone indifferent. Of course, the price of floor indoor fountains and waterfalls may be prohibitively high for middle wealth, and buy a room fountain of this design and scale can afford only wealthy people.

Outdoor room fountain option can be surrounded houseplantsFor which it will create a favorable microclimate. If in the decorative fountain use special installations, then the effect of fog can be achieved.

Fountain-curtain

An equally stunning effect has a fountain-curtain, through which the water flows down with a wide stream. The picture creates the impression solid water Wall which runs on the glass. If such a system is placed in doorwayBy providing traffic sensors, you can get a kind of water door separating the rooms. When a person approaches, the sensor overlaps the flow, and the passage is free. A carefully thought-out illumination of such a fountain will turn an apartment in the fairytale palace.

There are species of decorative home fountains depicting water columns : on special fishing strings water flows down from ceiling Plafon A solid stream, while the hollow inside the transparent water pole is formed. In cross section, such a pole can represent a circle or polyhedron. Often inside the post is installed sculpture or decorative tree. Buy interior fountains of such a design in ordinary souvenir shops you can hardly be able, since such an impressive decor elements are often manufactured to order.

Room fountains do it yourself

Knowing how to make a decorative room fountain with your own hands, you will save money to buy a new decor, but provide yourself with a wonderful mood for many years.

Step-by-step process of building a room fountain

For this work you will need:

Capacity for the future fountain.
Aquarium pump.
Cut of the hose for cleaning aquarium.
Large marine sink.
Ceramzit, shells, decorative colored primer.
Waterproof glue.

The bowl for the fountain can elect any likely vessel, even the flower porridge is suitable. The main thing that the vessel was reliable, and the water did not flow out of it. Pomp, raising water upstairs and creating a stream, it will be necessary with a sprayer, but without a tip, taking into account the small magnitude of the fountain bowl.

The procedure for the production of fountain:

If you first learned about how to make a fountain with your own hands, then you should understand that work is quite painstaking and creativeBut its result will not only significantly decorate your interior, but it will be the subject of pride before admiring guests.

Decorative Flower Pot

There is a huge number of master classes showing which decorative things can be made from ordinary flower pot. But today we will tell you how to make them hands home Fountain From the same colorful flower pot. If you want to make a fountain more, take a large capacity, well, if in your plans a small table fountain - there is enough a flower pot of 20-25 cm in diameter.

In order to make a fountain at home, you will need such materials:

Progress

The flower pot is needed like a bowl for a fountain, it is possible to paint with special paints at will.
Under the pallet you need to establish a pump that will provide water circulation, and in the bottom you need to do a small hole for the drain.
The pump tube is passed through the hole, and decorative pebbles are embanked to the bottom.
The whole design is assembled and filled with water. Appearance can revive aquarium plants.

According to such a scheme, each will be able to personally build a miniature fountain - only desire and fantasy are needed.

We make a room fountain without a pump

Many people prefer to engage in self-employment of his own apartment or cottage. And sometimes to give a special grace, the master's interior thinks how to make a fountain without a pump, because not all "friends" with electrical appliances and their connection. Of course, it is possible to make a decorative imitation of the fountain, for example, from paper or from plasticine, but in this case you will not hear the soothing murmur of real water. Little fountain can be made of a bottle or from more suitable under the invented design. plastic tanksBut at the same time you need to recall the school program in physics.

In order to make a mini-fountain with their own hands without a pump, the following materials will be required : Three plastic containers, tubes, tools, adapters, sealant and decorating elements (you can come up with a composition of stone and artificial colors, and you can limit something alone).

Miniature preferences

Determine the size of the future product, while not to strive for gigantism. After all, for a large fountain, the pump will be required certainly, and this is not our case. It is better to make a preliminary sketch of the fountain. If the fantasy fails, see how the fountain can be with your own hands in the photo or on the video - so you will have an idea to which final version is striving.

Remember physics

The basis of the design is best put principle of reporting vessels familiar from school physics. If two vessels connected by the tube are located at different heights, then from the upper water will flow into the bottom. But this simple system It is better to upgrade a little: both vessels are installed on the same level by connecting a pair of tubes. Tubes are connected to "T" - a shaped adapter. If you pour into the vessels from above, the fountain starts working.

We work with two identical vessels

Pick up a couple of absolutely identical vessels, best plastic. Then it will be necessary as a thin tube as possible. At the same time, how it will be thinner, the longer the fountain will function. The tube from the kitchen filter may well be consolidated. In the bottoms of the vessels, the holes are neatly drilled, which in diameter slightly less than taken tubes. Pipes should be inserted into the holes (this happens with some tension). Then these places are better to handle cold welding or other sealant so that there are no water leaks.

Third vessel - final

Next, you need to go to the third vessel, the volume of which is equal to the sum of the volume of two other vessels or even more - so that the water that threw out of them completely fit into it. Exactly in the middle of the bottom of the large vessel should be installed "T" - a shaped adapter, and in the walls of the vessel near the bottom it is necessary to drill holes. Through them are skipped two tubes coming from vessels placed above. These places should also be reliated. This completes the installation of the main design of the font.

Installation of room fountain

Next you need to install a fountain in the place allotted for it. At the same time, it is necessary to make it so that the upper vessels are located not only above the big, but they themselves were at the same level. For home conditions, the container capacity of the room fountain should be removable so that the water from it can be returned to the upper vessels. And, of course, such a fountain need to decorate, relying, mainly to his own fantasy.

Regardless of the selected fountain, you quickly love it for live water flows and a pacifying effect on all the inhabitants of the house.

Even the smallest reservoir is able to decorate his own country area and give him a highlight. And the fountain made by his own hands will not only become a beloved place to relax and will deliver aesthetic pleasure, but also will be a reason for compliments from invited guests.

But not everyone is solved on the personnel structure of this mysterious hydraulic device. Some daches mistakenly believe that the construction of the fountain is the process of time consuming and expensive and without the help of specialists in this matter is not to do. But such a pleasure to deliver herself every amateur to spend time in nature, the main thing is to know all the nuances of the construction of the fountain personally.

Choosing a fountain type

You can select two types of fountains by type of construction.

The open option involves the flow of water to the nozzle. The formation of a jet in such an embodiment of the device is due to the drops of water levels. The water pressure in this case is weak, so it is necessary to constantly monitor the water level. In addition, water in such a fountain is quickly contaminated. To create it, you must install a small tank at an altitude of about one meter above the nozzle.
Fountain with pump mounting is the most practical and spectacular option. Thanks to the room at the bottom of the pump, continuous water circulation is ensured. Here and the pressure is stronger and the visual effect is more beautiful.

By design, pumps that perform the roles of fountains are divided into submersible and surface (stationary).

Optimal place to place the fountain

Selecting a comfortable place to build a fountain, it is recommended to take into account the degree of slope of the Earth. If the area is uneven, it is better to place a similar scenery in the lowland. This variant location of the reservoir will allow not only to adjust the volume groundwaterbut will increase the saturation of air oxygen.

too close to the house so that moisture in windy weather does not fall on the walls;
in open areas, in order to prevent water flowering due to sunlight on the reservoir;
next to the trees, to leave the leaves, seeds, the down, falling with them did not climb it, and the roots did not damage the waterproofing.

It is necessary to have a fountain in such a way that it is not an obstacle to other buildings and viewed from all points. It is recommended to place the design near the place of rest.

The minimum distance that should be sustained between the fountain and plants, buildings, furniture - 50 cm. So plants will not die from excessive moisture, and the furniture will not come into disrepair. The ideal option for the location of the fountain is a half-end and a place protected from the wind, in proximity to the water source and electricity. Such a location will save you from extra wires and additional work on their isolation.

Deciding with the place, it's time to think about the form and depth of the future fountain.

Preparation of materials for construction

For the construction of a fountain in order to save financial and strength, you can use construction technology decorative pond With its equipment with its pump.

Materials required for the construction of the fountain:

capacity for the fountain;
pumping station;
durable film;
bayonet shovel;
natural stones of various sizes;
sand, gravel;
decorative elements.

Selection and installation of capacity

If it is planned to build a miniature fountain, it is possible to use an ordinary plastic pelvis as a tank or any other low-size container.

For large water bodies, old baths are suitable or dug on their own. If a bath is used, you need to dug a hole of this size so that it is not above the surface of the earth. All holes are reliably close in the bath, after which it falls into the pit and strengthened the earth, stones and sand.

For a homemade tank, a pit of the necessary depth is made and covered with a dense, high-quality film, which is fixed along the edges on the surface of the stones. Stones are also poured onto the bottom various shapes and sizes. It is important that the stones do not have sharp edges and could not cut the film. Stones are evenly distributed throughout the bottom of the future fountain.

Choosing a pump for the construction of a fountain

In order to construct a fountain on the site yourself, it is not necessary to acquire expensive materials, you can adapt any old elements. However, it is not necessary to regret money - the pump, the better it will be, the more beautiful it will be a fountain and will decorate the site longer, without delivering problems.

Submersible pump - optimal option For the construction of the fountain in the country area. Works on the principle of centrifuge. You can also install the surface pump, it is mounted on the edge of the water branch, but most often used on large fountains and cascading reservoirs.

When choosing a pump, it is worth repelled from the pressure, which is constantly present in the pipe and drops of this pressure. Therefore, the purchase of the most powerful pump can be unnecessary, since it is not in all cases he will be able to work out its complete power.

Regardless of which type of pump will be selected, it is important to remember that the power should be correlated with the pipe diameter. The fountain jet should go under powerful pressure, and not slowly flow from the pipe, since there will be no effect on such a design.

Immediately check if your system is in working condition, to subsequently do not return to this issue. We establish the pump to the bottom of the tank and fall asleep it with a clay. Do not forget to align the surface after frowning.

For sea shell, it is desirable to make the base of stones and fix them to the sink using waterproof glue.

The next step is to go through the tube through the stones and the sink, after having previously done in it. The end of the hose should look out of the sink approximately 1 cm. The surface of the fountain is needed to reap the stones and sinks at its discretion. So you saw that the table fountain can do without spending significant forces and means.
