Keeping Your Wall fountain Tidy
Keeping Your Wall fountain Tidy To ensure that water fountains last a long time, it is vital to practice regular maintenance. It is easy for foreign objects to find their way into outside fountains, so keeping it clean is essential. Additionally, anywhere light from the sun combines with still water, algae can appear. To avoid this, take vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or sea salt and add straight into the water. Another option is to mix bleach into the water, but this action can sicken 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. To start with you must drain the water. When you have done this, scrub inside the water reservoir with a mild detergent. Feel free to use a toothbrush if helpful for any smaller crevasses. Do not leave any soap deposit in or on the fountain.
It is highly recommended taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and remove any plankton or calcium. To make it less strenuous, soak it in vinegar for several hours before cleaning. Build-up can be a big problem, so use mineral or rain water over tap water, when possible, to prevent this dilemma.
One final tip for keeping your fountain in top working order is to check the water level every day and make sure it is full. Allowing the water to go below the pump’s intake level, can cause major damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!
