Keep Your Large Garden Fountains Tidy
Keep Your Large Garden Fountains Tidy Water fountains will last a long time with routine cleaning and maintenance. Leaves, twigs, and bugs very often find their way into fountains, so it is important to keep yours free from such things. Additionally, anywhere light from the sun combines with still water, algae can form. Either sea salt, hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar can be mixed into the water to eliminate this problem. Another option is to mix bleach into the water, but this action can harm wild animals and so should really be avoided. No more than three-four months should really go by without an extensive cleansing of a fountain. Before you can start washing it you need to empty out all of the water. Then use a soft rag and gentle cleanser to scrub the inside. Feel free to use a toothbrush if necessary for any stubborn crevasses. Any soap residue left on your fountain can harm it, so be sure it is all rinsed off.
It is highly advised taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and eliminate any plankton or calcium. You might want to let it soak in vinegar for a few hours to make it easier to wash. Build-up can be a big headache, so use mineral or rain water over tap water, when possible, to prevent this dilemma.
And finally, make sure the water level is consistently full in order to keep your fountain running optimally. Allowing the water level to get too low can cause damage to the pump - and you certainly do not want that!
