Keeping Your Landscape Fountain Tidy

Keeping Your Landscape Fountain Tidy Water fountains will keep working a very long time with regular cleaning and maintenance. A typical concern with fountains is that they tend to collect dirt and debris, so it is essential that you keep it free from this. Another factor is that water that is subjected to sunlight is prone to growing algae. Either sea salt, hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar can be mixed into the water to prevent this issue. Another option is to blend bleach into the water, but this action can harm wild animals and so should really be avoided.

Every three-four months, garden fountains should undergo a serious cleaning.Keeping Landscape Fountain Tidy 51006631821556.jpg Before you can start washing it you need to empty out all of the water. When it is empty, scrub inside the reservoir with a gentle cleanser. If there are any little grooves, use a toothbrush to reach each and every spot. Make sure all the soap is properly rinsed off.

Various organisms and calcium deposits can get inside the pump, so it is advised to take it apart and clean it completely. Soaking it in vinegar for a time will make it easier to scrub. Build-up can be a big headache, so use mineral or rain water over tap water, when possible, to prevent this dilemma.

Lastly, make sure your fountain is always full by checking it every day - this will keep it in tip-top condition. Allowing the water to reach below the pump’s intake level, can cause severe damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!
