Keep Your Wall Water Fountain Clean
Keep Your Wall Water Fountain Clean Water fountains will last a very 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. Another factor is that water that is exposed to sunlight is vulnerable to growing algae. Either sea salt, hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar can be mixed into the water to avoid this problem. Another option is to mix bleach into the water, but this action can sicken wild animals and so should really be avoided. A complete cleaning every three-four months is recommended for garden fountains. First off you must remove the water. When it is empty, wash inside the reservoir with a gentle cleanser. If there is delicate artwork, you might need to use a toothbrush for those hard-to-reach areas. Any soap residue that remains on your fountain can damage 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. Soaking it in vinegar for a while will make it easier to clean. Neither rain water nor mineral water contain components that will accumulate inside the pump, so use either over tap water if possible.
And finally, make sure the water level is continuously full in order to keep your fountain working smoothly. If the water level slides below the pump’s intake level, it can hurt the pump and cause it to burn out - something you don't want to happen!
