Keep Your Fountain Clean
Keep Your Fountain Clean It is important to carefully maintain water fountains for them to perform properly. Leaves, twigs, and insects very often find their way into fountains, so it is vital to keep yours free from such things. Also, algae is likely to build up anywhere natural light meets water. Blend hydrogen peroxide, sea salt, or vinegar into the water to avoid this particular problem. Some people opt for putting bleach into the water, but the drawback is that it harms wildlife - so it should be avoided.Experts advise that the typical garden fountain undergoes a thorough cleaning every 3-4 months. Prior to cleaning, all of the water must be removed. Once it is empty, clean inside the reservoir with a mild cleanser. If there are any small grooves, use a toothbrush to reach each and every spot. Do not leave any soap residue inside or on the fountain.
It is highly recommended taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and remove any plankton or calcium. Soaking it in vinegar for a while will make it easier to scrub. Neither rain water nor mineral water contain components 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 it every day - this will keep it in tip-top shape. 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!
