Taking Care Of Landscape Fountains

All you will require to properly install your outdoor wall fountain is typically provided in easy-to-use kits. The kit includes a submersible pump, hoses as well as the basin, or reservoir. The basin, if it's not too big, can easily be hiddenin your garden among the plants. Once installed, wall fountains typically only need to have some light maintenance and regular cleaning.
It is vital to replenish the water consistently so that it stays clean. Remember to clear away debris like leaves, twigs or dirt as fast as possible. In addition, your outdoor wall fountain should not be subjected to freezing winter weather conditions. In order to avoid any damage, such as cracking, from freezing water during the cold winter months, relocate your pump inside. To sum up, your outdoor wall fountain will continue to be a great addition to your garden if you keep it well cared for and well maintained.
Keeping Your Garden Wall Fountain Clean

Every 3-4 months, garden fountains should go through a good cleaning. Before you can start cleaning it you should empty out all of the water. Next use gentle and a soft sponge to clean inside the reservoir. If there is intricate artwork, you might need to use a toothbrush for those hard-to-reach areas. Make sure all the soap is totally washed off.
Some organisms and calcium deposits may get inside the pump, so it is advised to take it apart and clean it thoroughly. Letting it soak in vinegar for a few hours first will make it alot easier to clean. Build-up can be a big headache, 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 daily and add water if you notice that the level is too low. If the water level falls below the pump’s intake level, it can harm the pump and cause it to burn out - something you don't want to happen!
