Keeping Your Outdoor Fountain Tidy
Keeping Your Outdoor Fountain Tidy Adequate care and regular upkeep are important to the longevity of water fountains. Leaves, twigs, and insects very often find their way into fountains, so it is vital to keep yours free from such debris. Another factor is that water that is exposed to sunlight is prone to growing algae. In order to stay clear of this, there are some basic ingredients that can be added into the water, such as vinegar, sea salt, or hydrogen peroxide. Bleach can also be put into the water, however this is not the ideal option because it can hurt birds or other animals.Every 3-4 months, garden fountains should have a decent cleaning. First off you must remove the water. When you have done this, wash inside the water reservoir with a mild detergent. If there are any little grooves, use a toothbrush to get each and every spot. Do not leave any soap deposits inside of 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 challenging, soak it in vinegar overnight before cleaning. Mineral or rain water, versus tap water, is ideal in order to eliminate any build-up of chemicals inside the pump.
Lastly, make sure your fountain is always full by checking on it every day - this will keep it in tip-top shape. Allowing the water to drop below the pump’s intake level, can cause major damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!
