• Wall-mounted water features are fountains that are placed on the wall for aesthetic reasons. These fountains are ideal when a property needs to have an unusual touch added to it, and the fountains also solve dryness issues by adding humidity to a given area. Rarely is water not a welcome addition to a property as the pitter-patter of the water drops and the rush of the artificial waterfall create a soothing sound.
  
  

Materials

• Wall-mounted water features come with different materials that are placed underneath the falling water, such as slate, marble, metal, mirror and glass. Copper and stainless steel are also used as materials, according to Laguna Waterworks. These materials are sometimes carved to look like natural rock so that those viewing them can feel like they are in natural surroundings. Some have more symmetrical carvings with individualized designs. Many others rely on the natural designs of the material, such as with marble.
  
  

Chemicals

• Wall-mounted water features must often be treated with chemicals designed to protect the wall-mounted features. The chemicals needed include algaecide, designed to kill algae that live in water. Clarifier is another chemical used to clear the water so that it looks crystal clear, according to Laguna Waterworks. Many objects that frequently touch water, such as the materials underneath the falling water, are covered with scale and stain inhibitor.
  
  

Illumination

• Those who own wall-mounted features can decide whether or not they would like a light to illuminate the falling water or whether they would like the water not to be illuminated, according to Laguna Waterworks. The illumination is good when the wall-mounted water feature is in a dark room but is otherwise a waste of electricity.
  
  

Basins

• Mounted on many walls are fountains that pour water into basins below. These fountains are usually made out of stone, though they can be made from other materials. Sometimes they have multiple basins that fill up with water before spilling over into basins below, according to Garden Fountains. The upper basins are often grooved so that the direction that the water spills can be controlled. The fountains come in all sorts of designs, and many have faces or other objects out of which the water spews. The flow of the water is controlled by pumps, and the lowest basin contains a drain that circulates the water.
  
  

Frame

• Many wall water features have frames, usually made out of a type of stainless steel so that they do not corrode from the moisture. These surfaces must be polished on a regular basis so that they retain their shine.
