Atlanta Water Feature Maintenance 

Atlanta is known for its beautiful scenery and one of the world’s most well-known aquariums. While you might not have rare fish swimming in your front yard, you can bring natural beauty with a well-designed water feature. Whether installing a brand new model or looking to care for an existing one, local Puddle technicians have you covered. Puddle provides expert Atlanta water feature maintenance that keeps water systems running for residential and commercial properties. 

A great water feature can add character to any landscaping project. When you want to boost your curb appeal, a fountain can help to get you there, but only if it’s clean. Fountains are exposed to the elements in the same way that a pool or hot tub is but often don’t get the same level of attention. Just because you’re not swimming in them doesn’t mean these water features shouldn’t be kept clean. Avoid damage and contaminants by scheduling a routine cleaning program with Puddle Pool Services. 

Water Fountain Cleaning: What to Expect From Indoor & Outdoor Fountains 

Indoor water fountains are up against different risks than outdoor models but, both of these are subject to damage and have the same set of moving parts. An effective water feature care plan should account for the usual issues and risks that are a little less common. 

Indoor water fountains are subject to manmade contaminants like spills, as well as mineral deposits caused by imbalanced water chemistry. If pH levels are too high or too low you can expect to see deposits forming, as well as faded or brittle liners. 

Water features in outdoor spaces are at the mercy of the elements, and that doesn’t just mean cold snaps. Without regular chemical treatments, scrubbing and debris removal, it won’t take long for fountains to start looking swampy. Algae growth isn’t just ugly it’s bad for your water systems. Everything from high heat, heavy rains and accelerated growth rates in plant life (think pollen floating along water surfaces) will impact fountain conditions. 

If debris is left to build up in systems, it will contaminate water and start to form clogs inside lines and filters. Fountain maintenance isn’t done once chemical treatments are applied. It takes scrubbing, skimming, filter cleanings and flushing lines to keep things running smoothly. If this sounds overwhelming, don’t worry! Puddle technicians offer a range of cleaning, installation and maintenance services to keep your water systems in great shape. 

Take It From Puddle: Creating Water Fountain Care Plans That Work! 

Instead of learning to live with swampy fountain water or dealing with the high costs of repairs and replacements, call Puddle. Local technicians understand what your water systems need and when, so there’s never any guesswork. 

Routine Cleaning Programs: With a scheduled cleaning program, fountain owners can expect technicians to arrive with state-of-the-art tools and techniques to get the best possible results, every time. Having water tested by the experts means balancing sanitizers, pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium. Specialty brushes scrub away residue and algae for a clean slate. Puddle crews use safety equipment to reach higher tiers for a full clean without having to navigate slippery surfaces. Lines are flushed to reduce the risk of blockages and filters are checked with every visit. 

Deep Cleans: A maintenance program is great, but they’re designed to maintain a water feature that is already clean. For those fountains that are already dealing with staining, invasive growth and contamination, you’ll need a fresh start. Puddle technicians have created a multi-part system designed to clean fountains inside and out. A combination of chemicals pass through systems, loosening debris and pulling it into basins. It’s then time to drain the water and scrub sides, floors and surfaces. Soft bristle brushes scrub away stains without causing damage. Once cleaned, just add water! Once water levels are restored, technicians will come back for a final water balancing. 

Puddle technicians provide expert water fountain care for residential and commercial properties. Each member of the team is local to the Atlanta area. This means we have insider knowledge about the best way to care for water features at any time of year. Puddle crews are also fully insured for peace of mind, so call today to schedule your next service. 

There’s a big difference between cleaning out a standard fountain and maintaining koi ponds and water gardens. Proper care for specialty aquatic plants, ponds and waterfalls requires specialty tools and techniques. Puddle technicians do not offer cleanings for these areas.
