What Water Feature Maintenance Covers in Cincinnati
Cincinnati is full of character and a water fountain can add to that. An attractive fountain can be the focal point of any landscaping project but dirty water is an eyesore. If you want to boost your curb appeal and keep fountains running smoothly just call Puddle for your Cincinnati water feature maintenance.
Cleaning an outdoor water fountain isn’t a walk in the park but neither are indoor water features. Each of these are up against contamination and need to be cleaned regularly. Without regular chemical applications, scrubbing and assessments of internal water systems it won’t take long for fountain water to go swampy, smelly and for algae growth to take over. Luckily, local Puddle technicians are only a phone call away!
Water Fountain Care: What to Know
Depending on the size of your fountain something as simple as having to remove debris can be a major pain. For larger outdoor water fountains skimming out leaves and sucking up debris can mean having to put on rubber boots and walk out into the water itself. Even if you do have the time to do this, there’s no guarantee that you are getting the right results with a DIY approach.
Getting rid of leaves and other debris is the obvious first step in cleaning an outdoor water feature but the fun doesn’t stop there. In order to keep water clean, you have to keep water flowing. This means checking the water level, cleaning the pump that keeps your system circulating. Anytime you find yourself dealing with water and electricity in close proximity it is always better to consult an expert before getting started.
The secret to proper care and efficient fountain cleaning is breaking the process down into multiple steps for a better result. Puddle technicians have developed a multi-step process that treats surfaces, as well as internal systems to leave fountains running better than ever.
Routine Cleans: Water feature cleaning programs will change over the course of the year. Average outdoor temperatures and surrounding plant life will contribute to contamination so it is better to monitor water chemistry regularly. During a routine cleaning Puddle technicians test and balance water, use soft bristle brushes to scrub vinyl liners and speciality vacuums to remove unwanted items. Return lines are then flushed to ensure smooth running water.
Deep Cleans: Even with a regular cleaning program in place it is important to incorporate deep cleans once or twice (or more) a year. A garden fountain, for example, might look clean from the outside but there is likely buildup sitting inside lines or internal components. Deep cleaning the system involves applying a speciality mix of chemicals designed to run through systems loosening debris and dragging it out into the main basin. Water can then be drained. Vinyl liners are scrubbed and concrete can be acid washed. During this time technicians will assess surrounding areas and equipment like the fountain pump. Water can then be refilled and chemical treatments are applied.
If you aren’t keen to keep fountains running during the off-season ask one of our Puddle technicians about the best way to cover the fountain, avoid damage and protect water systems from damage.

Cincinnati Water Feature Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cincinnati water cause scale in pools?
Greater Cincinnati Water Works reports that Miller Plant water averages 137 mg/L hardness (8 grains per gallon) and Bolton Plant water averages 147 mg/L (9 grains per gallon), which is moderately hard. That calcium arrives with every fill and top off, so it is worth watching when balancing pool and hot tub water. Homes on other utilities or private wells may differ.
How do Cincinnati storms affect pools?
Southern Ohio averages about 42 inches of precipitation a year. The NOAA state climate summary notes that thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes and winter snowstorms can occur in every season. After a heavy storm, a service visit that checks chemistry and cleans the pool helps bring it back into balance.
Which Cincinnati neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Cincinnati, including Downtown Cincinnati, Over-the-Rhine, Mount Adams, Corryville, Mount Auburn and Hyde Park. The full list of areas is on our Cincinnati page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
What does a water feature maintenance visit include?
Balancing the water chemistry, removing debris and stains and inspecting the circulation and filtration system. We work top to bottom so a clog in one part does not undo the cleaning everywhere else.
Can you clean natural stone and delicate features?
Yes, with the right method. Natural stone, liners and features with LED lighting or other delicate parts each need a different approach, and a heavy handed clean can do real damage. We match the method to the materials.
