Keep Your Outdoor Wall Fountain Tidy

Keep Your Outdoor Wall Fountain Tidy Water fountains will last a long time with routine cleaning and maintenance.Keep Outdoor Wall Fountain Tidy 25679474496.jpg Leaves, twigs, and bugs often find their way into fountains, so it is important to keep yours free from such things. Additionally, anywhere light from the sun mixes with still water, algae can form. Blend hydrogen peroxide, sea salt, or vinegar into the water to avoid this particular problem. Bleach can also be mixed into the water, but this is not an ideal option because it can hurt birds or other animals.

No more than three-four months should go by without an extensive cleaning of a fountain. Before you can start washing it you should empty out all of the water. When you have done this, wash inside the water reservoir with a mild detergent. A helpful tip is to use a toothbrush if there are small hard-to-reach spots. Do not leave any soap residue in or on the fountain.

Some organisms and calcium deposits may get inside the pump, so it is best to take it apart and clean it completely. You might want to let it soak in vinegar for a few hours to make it easier to scrub. If you want to remove build-up in your fountain, use rain water or mineral water rather than tap water, as these don’t contain any components that will stick to the inside of the pump.

Finally, be sure to have a quick look at your fountain every day and add water if you see that the level is depleted. 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!
