Dear All,
1. Where possible avoid purchasing fountains with figurines that has an open mouth facing inwards of the house.
2. Such common figurines include a variety of figurines with an open mouth:-
2.1 fishes
2.2 frogs
2.3 seals or any other animals
Such figurines are best to be avoided.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear All,
The better fountains are those with symbolic circular bowls or rings.
As circle represents metal element. And under the productive cycle of the five elements: Metal supports Water element.
However, it is best for a fountain to have all five elements:-
1. Circle (representing Metal element)
2. Water (actual water itself)
3. Wood (place a plant near to or inside the water)
4. Earth (the actual fountain is made of stone / ceramic: which represents the earth element).
5. Fire (use an under water light or if indoor, can also use a spot-light that focus inwards. The light should be turned on using an automatic timer.
6. For example: in my case, I turn it on from say 7.30 to 10.00pm approximating my swimming pool light.
7. This year, nearly every flower or flower nursery shops and even home-fix (d.i.y) shops try to capitalise on the sale of a fountain.
8. The prices for these relatively low cost items e.g. fibreglass bowl, display/side rocks have very high mark-ups.
9. If you visit a Shopping Centre, such fountains costs a minium of $488/- and upwards. Many of the medium sized fountains costs between $688/- onwards.
10. If you want to purchase such foutains at a budget, I suggest you go down to flower nurseries - located all over the island.
For example, try visiting:
Thomson Road (Various Plan Nurseries)
(close to Joan Road / Caldecott Hill - opposite Thomson 800 condominum ) It is also at the junction between Thomson Road and Marymount Road.
If you purchase a fountain from such nurseries, they usually cost half the amount as those found in the shops.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
