Keep Your Outdoor Fountain Tidy
Keep Your Outdoor Fountain Tidy Adequate care and regular cleaning are important to the longevity of water fountains. It is important to clean it out and remove any debris or foreign elements that might have gotten into or onto it. Additionally, anywhere light from the sun comes in contact with still water, algae can appear. Either sea salt, hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar can be dissolved into the water to eliminate this problem. Another option is to stir bleach into the water, but this action can harm wild animals and so should really be avoided.Every 3-4 months, garden fountains should go through a serious cleaning. The initial task is to get rid of all the water. Next use mild soap and a soft sponge to clean inside the reservoir. Feel free to use a toothbrush if necessary for any stubborn crevasses. Be sure to completely rinse the inner surface of the fountain to make sure all the soap is gone.
Make sure you get rid of any calcium or plankton by taking the pump apart and cleaning the inside carefully. Letting it soak in vinegar for several hours first will make it alot easier to clean. If you want to minimize build-up in your fountain, use rain water or mineral water versus tap water, as these don’t contain any components that might stick to the inside of the pump.
Finally, be sure to have a quick look at your fountain every day and add water if you notice that the level is too low. Permitting the water level to get too low can cause damage to the pump - and you certainly don't want that!
