TABLE TOP FOUNTAINS RELAX AND SOOTHE YOUR MIND

Table top fountains are quite popular nowadays. Besides the decorative aspect, they also create a sense of peace and tranquility. So you can imagine how beneficial it is to have one in your home or office. Whenever you need to relax and take your mind off the stresses of the day, just divert your attention to the table top fountain for a few minutes and experience the calming and soothing effects.

I have loved water fountains since I was a kid. I thought they were the coolest thing in the world.
There was a large water fountain in the center of the town we lived in, and I was always excited when we drove by it, especially at night with all the colorful lights.
I really liked the one at the zoo of two bears holding each other dancing, and the one at the art museum of a cherub. Whenever I went on vacation I always cherished being near the lighted indoor water fountain in the hotel lobby.
Therefore, I was thrilled when I first heard about table top fountains. I could have an indoor water fountain in my very own room!
I actually discovered table top water fountains quite by chance. I was shopping in a drug store when I saw a table top fountain with a glowing plastic light at the center on display by the counter. At the time I thought it was the most beautiful thing, although the design appeared quite plain compared to the really artistic and intricate ones today. I knew then that I had to have table top fountains of my own. However, to my dismay, I learned those table top fountains were quite expensive and I didn't have extra money to spend. In addition, my parents thought it would be a frivolous purchase. They said if I liked table top fountains so much perhaps I should make them myself, thinking that it would discourage me. However, I wound up doing exactly that! :) Although I was fascinated and mystified by how table top fountains worked, I later discovered that it's actually very simple. All you need is a pump, a reservoir, and a source of power. The rest is just decoration, so to speak.
