The One Cleaning Solution to NEVER Use On Your Garden Fountains

One Cleaning Solution NEVER Use Garden Fountains 3601791000.jpg The One Cleaning Solution to NEVER Use On Your Garden Fountains It is essential to carefully maintain water fountains for them to perform properly. Leaves, twigs, and bugs often find their way into fountains, so it is vital to keep yours free from such debris. 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. Another option is to mix bleach into the water, but this action can sicken wild animals and so should really be avoided.

An extensive cleaning every three-four months is best for garden fountains. Before cleaning, all of the water must be removed. Then use a soft towel and gentle cleanser to scrub the inside. If there are any small grooves, use a toothbrush to get every spot. Make sure all the soap is properly washed off.

Calcium and fresh water organisms can get inside the pump, so you should disassemble it to get it truly clean. Letting it soak in vinegar for a couple of hours first will make it much easier to clean. Neither rain water nor mineral water contain ingredients that will collect 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 operating optimally. Allowing the water level to get too low can result in damage to the pump - and you certainly do not want that!
