Keeping Your Garden Wall Fountain Clean
Keeping Your Garden Wall Fountain Clean To ensure that water fountains last a while, it is important to practice regular maintenance. It is easy for foreign objects to find their way into outside fountains, so keeping it clean is important. Also, algae has a tendency to build up anywhere natural light meets water. Either sea salt, hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar can be dissolved into the water to eliminate this problem. Bleach can also be dissolved into the water, but this is not the ideal option as it can sicken birds or other animals. An extensive cleaning every three-four months is recommended for garden fountains. Before you can start cleaning it you must drain out all of the water. Then use a soft towel and mild cleanser to scrub the inside. If there is delicate artwork, you might need to use a toothbrush for those hard-to-reach areas. Be sure to carefully rinse the interior of the fountain to make sure all the soap is gone.
Some organisms and calcium deposits may get inside the pump, so it is best to take it apart and clean it thoroughly. Letting it soak in vinegar for a couple of hours first will make it alot easier to clean. Build-up can be a big problem, so use mineral or rain water over tap water, when possible, to eliminate this dilemma.
Lastly, make sure your fountain is always full by looking at it every day - this will keep it in tip-top condition. If the water level slides below the pump’s intake level, it can damage the pump and cause it to burn out - something you don't want to happen!
