Jupiter Water Feature Maintenance

Water features are a dime a dozen in Jupiter. As much as a fountain can boost curb appeal, keeping them clean and running smoothly takes a lot of effort. Puddle technicians can handle outdoor water fountains or water systems inside. Puddle crews provide reliable and efficient Jupiter water feature maintenance for residential and commercial properties. 

Maintaining your water features means regular water testing, debris removal, cleaning filters, heavy scrubbing and more. This can be a lot to fit into an already busy schedule, and missing just one treatment can result in cloudy or green water and algae growth. It might be tempting to clean your outdoor fountain with a DIY approach, but the wrong tools or harsh cleansers can lead to disaster. 

Water Fountain Cleaning: A Quick Guide to What Works 

Water features are exposed to the elements in the same way that a swimming pool or hot tub is, but they often aren’t given the same level of attention. It’s important to clean the fountain on your property, even if you aren’t swimming in it! Contaminated water isn’t just ugly, it is a serious risk to health and wellness. On top of the health risks, dirt, debris and contamination will also negatively impact the fountain’s condition. 

To keep fountains running, technicians break the process down into multiple steps. Instead of focusing on water chemistry alone, Puddle crews are always on the lookout for mineral deposits, white scale, algae and staining, as well as assessing filters and internal water systems. 

Water Treatments: Even though you aren’t swimming in a water fountain, clean water should always be a priority. Contaminated water doesn’t just wreck curb appeal, it can have an impact on water pumps, motors, plumbing lines and more. 

Debris Removal: When you want to remove debris from a large fountain, you’ll need extendable tools or, in some cases, a pair of rubber boots! Cleaning large outdoor fountains means wading in to reach debris in the middle. Tall fountains, on the other hand, require climbing up on slippery surfaces to reach the higher tiers. Puddle technicians have all of the necessary safety features to reach these areas without risk. 

Surface Care: Water fountains are prone to unsightly stains and mineral buildup. Tackling these with a hard bristle brush can damage protective coatings and waterproofing. Puddle technicians use specialty cleansers and soft bristle brushes to get rid of stains. In the case of algae on concrete surfaces technicians will assess surface condition and provide acid washing services to get rid of stubborn buildup and residue. 

Deep Cleans: If you’re taking over an existing fountain or haven’t had a cleaning in a while, it’s a good idea to schedule a deep clean to get things flowing again. Puddle uses a specialty combination of chemical treatments designed to run through water lines, loosening buildup and dislodging debris. This is then carried out into the main basin. Water gets drained out, and surfaces are heavily treated and scrubbed. Water treatments and balancing are the final steps to a fountain that runs like new.
