Surface Mount

Best Surface to mount GPS? my friend got me a GPS for christmas and ill pick it up after christmas i have a 2001 Daewoo Lanos and looking with my eye i cant pinpoint the best spot on the dash to mount it where it wont be in the way of the airbags (i plan on pullin the fuse anyway) or in my line of visability to drive i could use the Windsheld mount but in winter (like now) the INSIDE of the windows ice up so the GPS would be in the way in that aspect any ideas of a nice surface of the dash to mount it out of the path of the passengerside airbag or obstructing the insturment panel or ability of driving? seriously, use your head, is this worth asking? they usually come with a velcro mount for the dash and a suction cup attachment for the windshield which is pretty adjustable. the ice doesn't make a difference what-so-ever but if it bothers you that bad than just remove the mount when there's ice on the windshield, any one with a year 3 old's IQ can setup a GPS.......

Maintaining Wall Mounted Fountains - Make the Fountain Last for Years

There are two reasons for proper maintenance of wall mounted fountains: to make them last for years, and to ensure optimal performance. While most modern fountains do not require too much maintenance, regular cleaning is a must. Here are some ways to ensure that the fountain lasts for years, and provides good service.

Ensure Even Flow

Certain wall mounted fountains give trouble because the water flow is not even in all the areas of the fountain. Instead of a sheet of water, you may see only a trickle from a spot. To ensure uniform flow, mount the fountain straight. If you find a dry area in the water flow path, wet it. This helps the water ion attract other water ions. Gradually, there will be an even, uninterrupted path of flow.

Don’t Switch It On And Off Too Frequently

A major mistake that buyers make is to turn off the fountains when they leave for work or other reasons, or go to bed. A fountain is meant to run continuously. If it is turned off too often, the pump gets damaged.

Check Water Level

The water level should be high enough to submerge the pump fully. Otherwise, the pump will become damaged. How frequently would you need to refill the tank depends on the humidity, size of the fountain, and the depth of the tank.

Cleaning The Pump

The pump collects debris and mineral deposits over a period. Every week, the owner should clean the debris from the pump. The filter collects the most dirt. Rinsing the filter with soapy water is recommended.

Cleaning The Surface

A soft brush and vinegar are enough to clean the surface of the wall fountain. Stone and steel surfaces do not need much maintenance. Rubbing vinegar on the surface using a cloth, and wiping it off using another wet cloth can bring a shine to the surface. Copper surfaces are easy to clean by using copper cleaners. However, it is better to let a film of copper oxide form on the surface. For fountains made of acrylic, use plastic cleaners.

Removing Mineral Deposits

The only way to remove calcified deposits is to use chemicals available in the market for this very purpose. These chemicals can damage the finish of the fountain, so read the instructions carefully before using them.

There are many cleaners available in the market, and this should make your job easier. Remember to change the water frequently to prevent odors and accumulation of algae. Because a wall fountain is compact in size, it is easier to clean. If you have pets at home, you may need to clean out the fount more often. Following the above steps will ensure that your fountain puts up its best performance all the time.
