Water features are any interior or exterior decoration that use or contain water.
This can be everything From a small table feature or water container garden to a large commercial lake or pond… and everything in between. There are some basic categories that result from this set of options.
Fountainscapes. These are small decorative elements of water such as table fountains, water tank gardens, independent fountains, bubbling urns, spit and wells containing a deposit in the ground.
Ecosystem ponds. These are small or large ponds that have a balance of ventilation, fish, filtration, plants, gravel and rocks.
All components must be present to be considered an ecosystem, as all components work together to keep the pond naturally balanced, minimizing maintenance.
Pondless® Falls. Pondless water features are simply a waterfall and / or re-circulation flow without the presence of a pond. You can enjoy the sight and sound of running water without the maintenance of a pond.
Waterscaping Advanced. Advanced ponds may take the form of a “Pondless® Waterfall or Ecosystem Pond”. These spectacular water features are often found in commercial applications such as an office complex, a residential subdivision, a shopping mall and more. Some water-loving owners have installed modern ponds on their property where space and budget permit.

Benefits of Water Features
OK so why spend all this money to get a water feature? I used to think this way myself until I got one in my home office and now I totally get it.
There is truly nothing more relaxing then the soft sound of water running in the background. I find that it reduces stress, increases productivity and helps you feel like you are in a more natural environment. In fact, there are lots of studies showing that being around nature has lots of benefits for well being.
This is why water features are now more popular than ever. It is also a great way to liven up a harshly modern décor.
Here are some reasons why I think everyone should (at least try) to get water features in their homes.
Water features promote health and well being. It creates a relaxing environment to work and rest in. This is why you often find them in places like spas and treatment centers.
They generally improve the air quality in the room (so long as the water feature is full of clean healthy water to begin with).
Having a water feature in sight makes you drink more water. I promise you this is true, try it for yourself and see.
The soothing sounds can help your heart beat slower and generally relax the rhythm in your body.
They remind you to slow down.
It really helps people that want to be more mindful in their daily life.
