HOW HIGH DOES YOUR FOUNTAIN SURGE?

First Reaction/First Glance
Water fountains are designed for entrances into hotels, offices, parks, etc. They are truly artists’ representations of their creativity and expression which provide us subtle and calming effects on our moods. In fact some fountains invite us to toss in coins and make a wish that will hopefully come true.

The Learning Process
When I look at various water fountains, I sometimes reflect on the many configurations, the heights they soar to, the ripples they create in the water, or the spray they shoot across the water pond. I then begin comparing them to special events in my life such as family birthdays, special accomplishments, being awarded a new job, and other special moments.

Improvement for the Future
Imagine for a moment that the surges or sprays from the fountains represent your mood swings during the day or even the week.

As you think about the times your fountain is surging or spraying at their highest levels, try to remember what events took place that caused your fountain pumps to churn at higher RPMs. Jot down those events and see if a pattern develops. If so, then try focusing or reflecting back on your secret recipe so that your fountain can perform at the highest levels more often.

Who knows - perhaps your fountain water may splash onto others causing their fountains to strut their stuff as well.
