Water Fountain Maintenance

After installing an elegant, shiny water fountain inside the home or out in the garden, you'll smile at its sparkling beauty. To ensure that the indoor or garden fountain stays looking as good as the day you bought it, it will be important to follow a regular cleaning regimen. Before beginning any maintenance, consult the owner's manual included with the water fountain. Below are some tried and true steps to follow to ensure the fountain stays looking its best. By cleaning and maintaining the water fountain, all will continue to enjoy its breathtaking beauty for years to come.

Care

The first step to ensure a water fountain stays beautiful is by wiping it regularly with a non-abrasive cloth. This will eliminate dust and dirt from building up and dulling the finish of the water fountain. Some indoor water fountains require purified water to help eliminate calcium buildup. In some cases, an algae-eliminating additive may also be needed. Always change the water in the fountain regularly and consult the owner's manual for the recommended time between these changes.

Proper Water Levels

The next step in caring for a water fountain is a daily check of the fountain's water level. Maintaining an optimal water level will ensure the solar fountain lasts for many years. During the hot summer months, it is especially important to keep tabs on the water level. Evaporation happens more quickly during this time and the water level may decrease at a faster rate than usual.

Winter weather maintenance

Depending on the severity of the cold in your location, it might be necessary to bring the outdoor water fountain inside during the harsh weather conditions of winter. If you choose to leave it outdoors, drain and dry it before the first freeze. This will ensure that the water fountain, water fountain pump and hoses last for many years.

By taking these preventative measures, your water fountains should continue to look as spectacular as they did the day you brought them home.
