Bradenton Water Feature Maintenance

A fountain can be a major asset or a total liability to any landscaping project; it all depends on how you maintain it. Cleaning an outdoor water fountain is no one’s idea of a fun time. It can be messy and can even be expensive when you factor in tools and chemicals. Keep your schedule free and clear by calling Puddle Pool Services to tackle your water feature maintenance.

As hard as it might be to carve out time in an already busy schedule, missing a single cleaning can leave you with green water, bad smells, and unexpected damage. Water fountain care needs to be consistent and thorough for it to be effective. That is why Puddle technicians offer options for routine cleaning programs, as well as deep cleans that can be done seasonally or as needed. 

Water Feature Care: Cleaning Indoor & Outdoor Water Fountains 

Just because a fountain appears to be running smoothly doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s true. Water features have complex internal water systems that will wear down over time. Something as common as a clogged filter can wreak havoc on pool equipment like pumps and motors. Instead of dealing with the aftermath of a worst-case scenario, trust a local expert to create a cleaning and maintenance plan that works! 

If you don’t regularly clean structures and systems, it won’t take long for algae growth to form and start to take over. This is a bad visual, but it can also mean serious damage for indoor and outdoor fountains. Concrete is a porous material, so when excessive moisture is left sitting on it, it will begin to weaken. The next time you try to clean the fountain surfaces with a heavy hand, it can chip away these weakened areas, leading to potential water loss and damage. 

Keeping a fountain running means breaking the cleaning process down into regular cleanings and deep cleans. This process not only keeps water clean, it prolongs the lifespan of fountains and all of the components that keep them running. 

Routine Cleaning: Puddle technicians create customized care plans that are unique to the needs of your water feature. Each service includes a full water testing and chemical balancing. Puddle crews use specialty brushes to remove residue from liners without causing tears, filters are checked, and lines are flushed to keep water flowing. If there are clogs, blockages, or buildup within the system, it will prevent water from circulating properly. This means added strain on internal water systems and components that will lead them to break down earlier, resulting in expensive repairs and premature replacements. 

Deep Cleans: Even if you remove debris regularly and apply chemicals on a routine basis, it is still important to schedule a deep clean at least once a year. This process starts off with a specialty combination of chemicals designed to run through water lines, loosening any buildup that is sitting in the lines. These bits and pieces are then carried back into the basin. Water can then be drained, and it’s time to get to scrubbing! Specialty brushes scrub stains off of vinyl liners without causing tears, and concrete surfaces can be acid-washed, assuming they are in sound condition. This is also the ideal time to review filters and equipment like the fountain pump. 

Homeowners and property management services can benefit from flexible scheduling options, routine and seasonal cleanings, and the expert customer service that comes along with booking your local Puddle crew. In addition to keeping things clean, Puddle technicians put trained eyes to use staying on alert for signs of leaks or drops in water levels.
