The Tanjun Wall Hanging Water Sculpture The Elegant Beauty of "Less" |
Tanjun Wall Hanging Water Sculpture
In Japan and the Orient, design is often centered around the idea of achieving the greatest beauty possible, the greatest impact with the least amount of effort. The idea of "Less is More".
The serene Zen Rock gardens in Kyoto, or the power and impact of a Haiku poem are great examples of this theme, evoking a pleasing visual impact with a brevity of materials, or strong emotional feelings within a few words.
Our Tanjun Wall Hanging Fountain is another great example of this design theme. Tanjun means "Simple Beauty" and our stunning fountain features a slab of hand cut, natural slate stone nestled between matching copper trays, and is a perfect example of "simple beauty". Water gently flows over the stone slab from the top tray to the bottom tray, offering a beautiful visual impact while at the same time creating the soft pleasing sound of water gently falling.
In addition, each slate stone slab is chosen for its elegance, beauty and for its complimentary look. Because no two stones are alike, your fountain is a original, one-of-a-kind work of art. High intensity halogen lamps illuminate the individual beauty of the stone slab, providing an indirect light on the stone as the water flows down. The effect can only be described as amazing. Separate switches control the water flow and lighting offering full versatile in the how the fountains is displayed. Top and bottom copper trays have been treated with a special clear coat to protect against water stain and to maintain the beautiful full copper luster.
Each Tanjun fountain also serves as a natural humidifier as well as cleansing the air and creating negative ions. Negative ions bind with dust particles, pollens and allergy-causing pollutants. What that means to you is that our Tanjun fountains are not only a visually beautiful wall sculpture but are also an air purifier creating a more healthy room environment.
All these elements combine together to create the perfect example of the "Simple Beauty" theme, adding a touch of simple elegance to any home or office setting.

All Tanjun Wall Hanging Fountains Technical Information
Each Tanjun fountain comes complete and ready to place. No special wiring or plumbing is needed. Placement of fountain by a carpenter or handyman is suggested. It is important that the fountain is mounted on wall studs and not dry wall only. This will provide adequate support for the fountain. No special plumbing is required, as the fountain uses a self-enclosed, self-circulating pump.
Although not necessary, a GFI electrical outlet in the wall directly behind the fountain is highly recommended. Doing so is more aesthetically pleasing as it keeps the electric cord hidden from view. We also recommend connecting this plug to a wall switch that will enable you to easily turn your fountain on and off without having to reach behind the stone to pull out the plug.
Water Usage
The water feature acts as a natural humidifier and therefore requires the occasional addition of water, depending on the setting and climate location. Falling water also creates negative ions, which cleanse the air of dust, pollen and allergenic particles. Distilled water only. One to two drops of bleach can be added to the water occasionally to avoid algae growth.
Maintenance
To Protect the Copper from discoloration over time, it is recommended to apply car wax to the copper splashguard and tray several times a year.
