What Water Feature Maintenance Covers in Etobicoke
There are plenty of reasons to install an attractive water feature. It might be the boost in curb appeal, the comfort that comes from the sound of running water, or just adding something great to look at, but when these are cared for, water fountains are a great investment. From installation and onward, care and maintenance of these features is a complicated process. Calling a Puddle technician for your Etobicoke water feature maintenance means great results, extended lifespans and clean running water, no matter the time of year.
A garden fountain is meant to look rustic, but when it comes to algae growth, foul smells or murky water, poor condition can quickly become a serious issue. When dealing with an outdoor or indoor fountain, keeping water clean is difficult, even at the best of times. After years of experience in water feature care, our Puddle technicians have developed a multi-step approach to keeping systems running smoothly.
The Benefits of Proper Water Fountain Care
Just like a pool or hot tub, the elements play a huge role in the overall condition of your outdoor water fountain. Without proper care and inspections, debris, mineral deposits and white scale can all leave a mark on your fountain, leading to unnecessary wear, tear and strain on your system. When you want to clean your system, it is important not to focus on water condition, alone.
Unlike a sink or countertop, removing a bit of staining or discolouration from a fountain requires more than a soft cloth and a bit of vinegar. In order to maintain protective coatings and sealants, specialty tools and chemicals are required to keep features in good condition. Calling in professional water fountain cleaning can help to maintain the overall condition, including the inner mechanisms, outdoor fountain pumps, filters and treating anything that might inhibit water flow. Failing to clean the pump, or checking filters can lead to strained functionality.
In a cold-weather climate, water features freeze, just like a pool or hot tub might. In the same way that it is important to lower the water level of your swim space, it is important to ensure that there is no water left inside your system when the temperatures drop below freezing. In a complicated system, it is easy to overlook one mechanism, but one missed step is all it takes to lead to serious trouble.
As much as you might try to clean your fountain on a regular basis there will come a time where replacing the water is necessary. When drained, cleaning larger fountains often means having to clean multiple tiers, all at different heights. It is important to clean each of these areas to remove any debris or algae buildup. It is also good practice to remove detachable components, like the water pump, for cleaning and storage. When you want to remove the pump from your water system, there is always the possibility of damage, so these practices are best left to the professionals.
Puddle Pool Services: Keeping Your Fountain Running
When temperatures begin to drop, it is easy enough to just cover your fountain and forget about it for a while. This is all well and good until it comes time to take the cover off and you are left with algae, white mold or a damaged system. Regular maintenance from a Puddle Pool technician will have your outdoor model, stand-alone structure or wall fountain running so clean you’d think it was distilled water.

Etobicoke Water Feature Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a water treatment plant in Etobicoke?
Yes. The City of Toronto's R.L. Clark Water Treatment Plant, opened in 1968, is located in South Etobicoke and produces about 30 percent of Toronto's drinking water from Lake Ontario. Treated water is chlorinated for distribution, so fill water is tested and balanced before a pool or water feature goes into use.
How many hot days does Etobicoke get for pool chemistry?
Environment Canada 1991 to 2020 normals for Toronto Pearson show about 17 days a year above 30 C, mostly in July. Hot spells raise water temperature and chlorine demand, so chemistry is checked more often in midsummer.
Can pool water go into a ravine behind my Etobicoke home?
No. The City of Toronto says pool water can never be discharged into or onto the ground near a ravine or valley because it erodes the banks and damages vegetation. Water let out on your property must be fully absorbed without flowing onto neighbouring land, so plan draining with the City's rules in mind.
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.
Why is my fountain losing water?
Evaporation and splash account for some loss, especially outdoors. Faster loss can come from a leak, a clogged line that sends water where it should not go or a problem with the plumbing. An inspection of the circulation system is the way to find out.
