It is important to clean it out and take out any debris or foreign elements that might have dropped into or onto it. Additionally, anywhere light from the sun combines with still water, algae can appear. Either sea salt, hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar can be blended into the water to prevent this problem. Another option is to stir bleach into the water, but this action can hurt wild animals and so should really be avoided.Every three-four months, garden fountains should go through a decent cleaning. Before cleaning, all the water must be eliminated. When you have done this, scrub inside the water reservoir with a gentle detergent. If there is delicate artwork, you might need to use a toothbrush for those hard-to-reach areas. Make sure all the soap is totally cleaned off.
It is highly advised taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and remove any plankton or calcium. Letting it soak in vinegar for several 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.
Finally, be sure to have a quick look at your fountain every day and add water if you see that the level is low. Allowing the water to drop below the pump’s intake level, can cause serious damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!
