Keeping Your Outdoor Water fountain Clean

Keeping Outdoor Water fountain Clean 30444029704624969768.jpg Keeping Your Outdoor Water fountain Clean To ensure that water fountains last a while, it is important to perform regular maintenance. It is easy for foreign objects to find their way into outside fountains, so keeping it clean is important. Also, algae tends to build up any place natural light meets water. Either sea salt, hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar can be blended into the water to eliminate this problem. Bleach can also be dissolved into the water, but this is not the ideal option as it can harm birds or other animals.

Experts recommend that the typical garden fountain undergoes a thorough cleaning every three-four months. Before you can start washing it you should empty out all of the water. Then use mild soap and a soft sponge to clean the interior of the reservoir. A useful tip is to use a toothbrush if there are small hard-to-reach spots. Any soap residue left on your fountain can harm it, so be sure it is all rinsed off.

It is highly recommended taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and eliminate any plankton or calcium. Letting it soak in vinegar for several hours first will make it alot easier to clean. Neither rain water nor mineral water contain substances that will build up inside the pump, so use either over tap water if possible.

Lastly, make sure your fountain is always full by checking on it every day - this will keep it in tip-top condition. If the water level falls below the pump’s intake level, it can hurt the pump and cause it to burn out - something you don't want to happen!
