If you own an indoor water fountain, specifically a wall mounted stone or marble fountain, there is some maintenance you will need to do in order to keep your fountain looking it's best. There is a restaurant I frequent which has a wall mounted slate water fountain and it is in horrible condition because they never take care of it. There are a few simple steps you can follow to have your stone fountain always looking its best.
The stone comes to you with a sealant already applied so to extend the life of your stone and prevent any long term water damage. This sealant prevents water from soaking into the stone and causing it to flake off. If you have a slate wall water fountain you will need to run it and see if any water splashes off even if it is just a tiny bit. You want to find this out because you don't water on your floor or wall. If there is a slight splash it could be because of a ridge in the slate. This can be easily fixed. By taking a chisel or flat-head screwdriver your can scrape down the stone where there is a lip that the water is splashing off. This will not damage the stone and it will still maintain it's original beauty.
This is just one simple thing you can do to make your water fountain run as smooth as possible. Look for future blog posts to get more tips on how to care for your water fountain
