Bubble Wall Fountains add a touch of elegance and tranquility to our living spaces. However, the serene ambiance can be disrupted when algae start to invade the bubble panel. Algae growth not only affects the aesthetic appeal of the fountain but also compromises its functionality. Luckily, with proper care and maintenance, it is possible to keep algae at bay and enjoy a sparkling, algae-free interior fountain. Here are some effective tips to eliminate algae growth and maintain a pristine fountain.

Using the Proper Water for the Bubble Wall

Use of tap water in your bubble wall can shorten the life of components, clog up the bubble wand, and cause the growth of algae. Tap water contains high levels of minerals, chemical additives such as chlorine and fluoride, and even aluminum, arsenic, copper, iron, lead, pesticides, herbicides, uranium, and more! The only water to use in your bubble wall is distilled water, which is free of these contaminants, and will help your bubble wall run smoothly and beautifully for a very long time between water changes. You can find distilled water at any grocery store in your area. 

Control Sunlight Exposure

Algae thrive in the presence of sunlight, so controlling the bubble wall's exposure to direct sunlight can help prevent excessive algae growth. Consider moving the fountain to a location that receives partial shade or use curtains or blinds to filter the sunlight. By reducing the amount of light that reaches the water, you can create an environment that is less conducive to algae growth.

Use Algaecide or Natural Treatments

To further combat algae growth, consider using algaecides or natural treatments specifically designed for fountains. Algaecides are chemical solutions that effectively eliminate algae and prevent their return. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and dosage recommendations when using algaecides, as excessive use can harm the fountain's components.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Maintaining proper water quality in your bubble wall is essential to proper operation of the fountain's components. It is recommended to change the water out of the unit every 3-6 months depending on location and usage. The bubble wand should be removed and cleaned or replaced at this time. Cleaning of the interior of the bubble tank can be accomplished by spraying out with a water hose and then set out to dry before refilling with new distilled water. Be sure to check and clean the filter on your air pump too, for peak bubble performance!

Conclusion

Maintaining an algae-free interior fountain requires regular cleaning, proper sunlight control, the use of algaecides or natural treatments. By following these tips, you can eliminate algae growth and enjoy a pristine, visually appealing bubble wall fountain that enhances the serenity and beauty of your living space. Remember, proactive maintenance is key to preventing algae growth, so be diligent in your fountain care routine to ensure long-lasting enjoyment.

Water has always held a special place in our lives, captivating and soothing us with its gentle movements and tranquil sound. It comes as no surprise that people are increasingly incorporating water features into their living and working spaces. Whether it's a serene fountain in the garden, a calming aquarium in the office, or an elegant bubble wall in the living room, water features offer numerous benefits that appeal to our senses and well-being.

1. Aesthetics and Ambiance

Water features have an undeniable aesthetic appeal, adding a touch of elegance, beauty, and serenity to any environment. The sight of shimmering water, or dancing bubbles, creates a sense of tranquility and harmony. They can drown out unwanted noise, promoting a peaceful atmosphere and helping to reduce stress levels. Water features also create a focal point that enhances the overall visual appeal of a space, making it more inviting and refreshing.

2. Relaxation and Stress Relief

The soothing qualities of water are well-known for their ability to relax the mind and body, creating a serene and peaceful environment conducive to unwinding and rejuvenating. Spending time near water features can have a therapeutic effect, allowing individuals to escape the demands of their daily lives and find a moment of tranquility.

3. Improved Air Quality and Humidity

Water features, such as indoor fountains or aquariums, can help improve the air quality in homes and offices. As water evaporates, it adds moisture to the surrounding air, increasing humidity levels and preventing dryness. This can be particularly beneficial in arid climates or during winter months when heating systems tend to dry out indoor air. Additionally, water features act as natural air purifiers, trapping airborne particles and dust, thereby improving air quality and reducing allergens in the environment.

4. Enhanced Feng Shui and Positive Energy

In many cultures, water is considered a symbol of wealth, abundance, and prosperity. Incorporating water features into homes and offices aligns with the principles of Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese art of harmonizing energy. According to Feng Shui, water features represent the flow of positive energy, attracting good fortune and creating a harmonious environment. Placing water features in specific areas can help balance the energies within a space, fostering a sense of well-being and promoting positive chi (life force energy).

5. Connection with Nature

Water features provide a connection to the natural world, bringing the serenity and beauty of outdoor environments into our indoor spaces. In urban settings where access to green spaces may be limited, incorporating water features allows individuals to experience the calming effects of nature. Watching fish swim in an aquarium or listening to the gentle flow of a fountain can evoke feelings of being near a peaceful river or relaxing beside a tranquil lake. This connection with nature helps to create a sense of balance and harmony in our surroundings.

The popularity of water features in homes and offices can be attributed to their ability to evoke a sense of tranquility, enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space, and promote well-being. Whether it's the visual beauty, the soothing sounds, the air purifying qualities, or the positive energy they bring, water features offer a multitude of benefits. They provide a sanctuary within our busy lives, allowing us to experience the calming effects of water and find solace in its mesmerizing presence.

There are an unlimited number of wall decor options available, whether you choose to shop online or at a local retailer. Decorating a home can be enjoyable, but also a little difficult. Especially when you consider all the options and different décor styles to choose from. No one wants to end up with buyer’s remorse and ultimately have to completely redecorate once they discover they don’t like the pieces they chose as much as they thought. That’s why we’ve put together a few reasons why we think everyone needs a bubble wall!

• Sometimes, you have an incredibly large blank space on your wall that needs some decoration or a pop of color. Our horizontal bubble wall, the 500WM, is a large unit It sized 45” wide x 21” in height which makes it the perfect size for a large wall space.
• They’re versatile! People generally think bubble walls only go with modern décor but that simply isn’t true. They actually work wonderfully in any environment.  Whether it be a rustic home, an industrial loft, or a chalet, our bubble walls will fit in perfectly.  
• They’re surprisingly easy to maintain and care for. Especially when you compare them to most water features or an aquarium.  You will need to perform maintenance on your bubble wand to ensure even bubbling (once every few months in most cases).  Aside from that just top the water off and enjoy the show.
• They’re unique! If you’re looking for a piece of art or wall decor that your friends and family likely have never seen before, this is it. Lots of people have never seen a bubble wall in person so it is sure to be a focal point in any space they’re placed in.

These are just a few of the reasons why we feel a bubble wall would make a fantastic piece of décor in your home or office.

Numerous scientific studies have shown that being by the sea has a positive impact on mental health. Minerals in sea air reduce stress. Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain, which improves alertness and mental energy. These same ions are also present around water features. Furthermore, salt in the water preserves tryptamine, serotonin, and melatonin, which aid in diminishing depression, improved sleep, and boosting feelings of well-being.

Even just the sound of water has positive effects on our mental health. There is a long history of water sounds being used in meditation to create a soothing atmosphere for our minds. Science suggests that the rhythm of ocean waves and tides coming in and out can affect the rhythm of the neurons and the waves in our brain, encouraging both and relaxation a more peaceful pace of thought.

White noise, such as ocean waves, water features etc., is defined as noise containing many frequencies with equal intensities. Studies have found when the brain hears white noise, we can hear any number of things and we are able to relax, let go of our thoughts and let the noise wash over us. If you add white noise to meditation you can more easily be present in the moment and directly experience things as they are.

One of the most natural reactions our brain has when we see the ocean, a lake or waterfall is the feeling of awe. The beauty and vastness of the natural scene has a great impact on the way we feel. Science has even found that such feelings can lead to selflessness, kindness, and generosity.

Making water a part of your routine

Unfortunately, most of us don’t live near the ocean so we aren’t just a quick drive away from a mental boost. But there are several ways we can work the powers of water into our daily lives no matter how busy we are.

You can invest in a water feature for your home or office. The sound can help to block out aggravating noises like traffic, and it’s a great visual that will give you the impression of being around water.

Listen to the sounds of water before bed. Whether you install a bubblewall, buy a CD with the natural sounds of water, or get a white noise machine; hearing these sounds before bed will help you relax and get a better night’s sleep. You’ll invite those feelings of awe that can improve your well-being and make you a more positive person.

Everyone tends to focus exclusively on the physical health benefits of drinking plenty of water, but with all of the benefits it’s amazing how much we overlook the impact water can have on our state of mind.
