Using a Fountain for Stress Reduction

A fountain can help decorate a room and make the environment more pleasing to the eye.  But did you know it can also help reduce stress?  The running water in water fountains produces negatively charged ions.  Negatively charged ions help neutralize positively charged ions which have been shown to increase stress, tension and aggression.
While negatively charged ions are common in the atmosphere, they frequently change through chemical reactions and therefore need to be replaced.  A constant source of negatively charged ions such as the running water in a water fountain is a necessary way to replace these ions to help reduce the stress in your life.

If you are wondering how water wall fountains create negatively charged ions, it is really rather simple.  Cascading water breaks the bonds holding the water molecule (H20) together.  From the processes in which the water molecule is broken apart, negatively charged ions are released.

Often times positively charged ions are combined with dirt and toxins found in the air.  When combine with negatively charged ions these toxins can be neutralized or pulled to the ground through rain. So indoor wall fountains, water fountains and garden fountains can actually help to purify the air you breathe. A better air quality can help improve respiratory function and promote health.

A second way water fountains can help reduce stress is through the creation of white noise.  White noise can help add a soothing ambient sound to any room.  It also helps to drawn out stress causing dissonant tones that may be coming from a nearby street or an angry child.  So by producing negatively charged ions and white noise, copper wall fountains reduce stress.
