Keeping Your Garden Water fountain Clean

Keeping Your Garden Water fountain Clean To ensure that water fountains last a long time, it is vital to perform regular maintenance. Leaves, twigs, and bugs often find their way into fountains, so it is important to keep yours free from such things. Also, algae is likely to build up anywhere natural light meets water. To stay clear of this, take vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or sea salt and add right into the water. Some people opt for adding bleach into the water, but the problem is that it harms wildlife - so it should be avoided.

No more than 3-4 months should really go by without an extensive cleaning of a fountain. First off you must drain the water. Next use mild soap and a soft sponge to clean the interior of the reservoir. If there are any little grooves, use a toothbrush to reach every spot. Any soap residue remaining on your fountain can damage it, so be sure it is all rinsed off.

Make sure you get rid of any calcium or plankton by taking the pump apart and scrubbing the inside properly. Letting it soak in vinegar for a couple of hours first will make it alot easier to clean. Neither rain water nor mineral water contain components that will collect inside the pump, so use either over tap water if possible.Keeping Garden Water fountain Clean 84769156.jpg

Lastly, make sure your fountain is always full by checking it every day - this will keep it in tip-top shape. 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!
