Color water for the table fountain
Table fountains look nicer with colored water than with colorless water. Also, fountains are more individual if you color the water in them. But not all colors are suitable.
This is how you get colored water
Water is sure to get colorful with every color, but especially with table fountains you will become with some Colours have little joy. You should keep this in mind when dyeing.
- You need colors that dissolve well in the water so that it doesn't look like cloudy broth after a short time. Some color pigments do not dissolve, they just distribute themselves finely. Such colors settle after a short time.
- If you stir the water in the table fountain, the color will not settle, but you will have a milky, cloudy broth in the fountain.
- Cloudy, colored water can certainly have a stimulus, but the paint particles can damage the circulation pump or clog the nozzles.
This is how you can color the liquid
In general, food colors and inks work well for coloring; Water colors, poster colors and acrylic colors are mostly not. You cannot use lacquer paints simply because they would not come off.
Anyone who has ever tinkered with plastic knows the problem, the material is ...
- Take a tall, slim glass that is not colored. Pour distilled water and the color you want to use in the vessel. Stir so that the color can be finely distributed and dissolved.
- Put the jar in a bright place for a day or two. Check to see if it has tarnished or the color has faded. Some dyes change in the light.
- If the color has not settled in the glass and still looks nice after 2 days, then it is also suitable for coloring the water in the table fountain.
Do not use paints that are dissolved in alcohol, as this could damage the seals on the pump in the table fountain. Also, do not use paints that contain sugar, such as sugar script, as this could cause the fountain to go moldy.
