Houston Water Feature Maintenance 

An indoor fountain is a great way to add curb appeal to any space, while an outdoor water fountain can act as a gathering place for tenants, guests, friends and family. These seemingly simple additions can add a lot to any home or commercial space, but they can be tough to keep clean. Hiring a professional for your water feature maintenance means getting great results with none of the headaches of cleaning and care. 

When you want to clean your fountain, it is important to consider not only the water condition but the structure and inner workings of your water feature, as well. Regular cleaning not only helps your water appear crystal clear, but it also helps to keep your fountain running smoothly over a longer period. Save yourself the time and energy of amateur maintenance when you can have an expert provide great results, done safely. 

Water Feature Care: What Makes it so Important? 

When dealing with outdoor fountains, it is easy to let regular care and maintenance slip. You might start with great habits, but a busy schedule makes it easy to derail a cleaning schedule. Even a bit of neglect can lead to imbalanced water, algae growth, and even mineral deposits and white scale. When this is the case, your system is suffering. 

Even though you can’t see it, buildup within your pipes or drains can result in strain within your system, putting additional pressure on your pumps, motors, and circulation system. If water is not flowing, it sits stagnant, chemicals can’t be circulated, and you can expect bacteria buildup and algae growth.

When algae begins to form, a simple scrub with white vinegar is not enough to get rid of invasive growth, particularly around an outdoor or garden fountain. When attentions are redirected indoors toward free-standing or wall fountains, your features are up against a different set of contaminants. Outdoors, your fountain is up against the elements and organic cast-off, but indoors, the main culprits are climate and man-made interferences. Hiring a professional means tackling any contaminants, so your system runs like clean, newly distilled water.
