Using this vintage cast - iron wall fountain is easy. Just find a suitable wall in your garden or indoor space to hang it. Make sure the wall can support its weight. Before starting, fill the water reservoir with clean water. You may need to use a small pump to keep the water flowing. As for maintenance, regularly clean the fountain to prevent dirt and debris from clogging the water channels. If there are any rust spots, gently sand them and apply a rust - resistant paint. Also, during the cold winter months, drain the water to avoid damage from freezing.
