Cleaning Your Water Fountain

Now that you've added a beautiful water fountain to your home or garden, you will want to ensure that it is properly cleaned and maintain. Depending on the type of fountain you own, it may require a very simple cleaning routine. Some fountains need special, purified water to help eliminate calcium buildup. Each water fountain should come with its own list of care and cleaning instructions, so be sure and refer to that for questions about your specific fountain. There are a few simple care and cleaning tips that apply to most fountains. By taking these preventative measures, cleaning it on a regular basis, your water fountain should continue to look as gorgeous as it did the day you bought it.

Cleaning
Wiping your fountain regularly with a non-abrasive cloth will help to eliminate unwanted dust and dirt. Regular cleaning will also aid in the elimination of dulling buildup. Make sure you change the water in your fountain on a regular basis and consult your owner's manual for the recommended time between these changes.

Water Levels
It is very important to check the water levels of the fountain daily. This will keep the fountain running smoothly for years to come. During especially hot weather, check the water levels even more frequently. Because of evaporation, the water may disappear quicker than usual. You never want your fountain to dry out when the pump is in operation. This could cause irreversible damage to your fountain.

Winter Weather
During the cold winter months it might be necessary to bring your fountain indoors. At the very least, make sure the fountain is drained and dry. This will eliminate cracking and other damage caused by cold weather conditions.

Finally, it is most important to follow the instructions included with each specific water fountain. Different manufacturers have maintenance and cleaning tips for their products. By cleaning and maintaining the fountain, you'll continue to enjoy its breathtaking beauty for years to come.
