Fountain renovation is usually more involved and complex than building the same fountain from scratch. A thorough knowledge of fountain installation processes and proper understanding of filtration systems is necessary to even comprehend the scope of work required for a seemingly minor fountain refurbishment project.
We have been involved in refurbishments of a number of historically important fountains, and these can be put into two categories. The more popular refurbishment involves updating the look and feel of the fountain and equipment, and is typical of with renovation of older properties that already have a fountain installed. Things to bear in mind are the existing finishes, pipe routes for old plumbing and electrical installation both in and around the fountain.
In a majority of cases, the filtration and lighting system is as old as the fountain itself and needs to be updated as well, considering that the design criteria for the fountain have changed a lot in the last 30 odd years. But in some cases where the filtration had undergone a midlife update, and has been done correctly, it can not be left alone.
This is usually a good opportunity to add modern technology components like automation and Ozone / UV disinfection etc. OuterSpaces offer a free no obligation visit to site and subsequent quote within a 50 mile radius of Glen Mills PA.
The other type of refurbishment is the addition of specific equipment or features to an existing running fountain. This may be to upgrade the fountain to bring it up to certain regulations, as is the case with several commercial complexes, or to generally improve the performance of an otherwise running system. Examples include filter or pump replacement, automatic chlorine dosing addition, tile replacement etc.
