McKinney Water Feature Maintenance

There are plenty of ways to boost the visual appeal around your home or commercial property, and a great water feature is one. Crystal clear water, flowing through a clean system can set the stage for a meeting place, showpiece or just a great place to balance energy around your home or workspace. With all of these great qualities in mind, it is a no-brainer that these can add a lot to any property, but caring for them isn’t simple. 

Professional McKinney water feature maintenance works to not only improve the look of your water, but also prevents algae, and prolongs the lifespan of mechanisms. Without regular care and maintenance, both your indoor and outdoor water fountains will begin to experience unnecessary strain, which leads to costly repairs and replacements. Call a Puddle Pro today to protect your structures, internal mechanisms, and prevent murky water, foul smells, staining or invasive growth. 

What to Know About Water Fountain Cleaning 

Homeowners might be able to grab a rag or sponge to clean out a bathtub, or sink, but when you need to clean your fountain, the process is much more complicated. Unlike a single structure that needs to be cleaned, your fountain is made up of many moving parts, each of which needs to be taken into account. It can take years to fully understand what makes your system tick, but instead of spending your evenings and weekends learning all about fountains, have an expert handle the heavy lifting instead. 

Water Chemistry: Whether you are managing an indoor fountain or a garden fountain, water care is one of the most important aspects of maintenance. It does not take much for chemicals to become imbalanced. In the same way the water condition in a pool should be monitored, it should be kept in mind when dealing with fountains, as well. Something as simple as high heat or heavy rain can lead to a serious imbalance in water. Fountains aren’t made for swimming, but that does not mean that contaminated water is not a health and safety issue. 

Interior Components: Just like any water feature, fountain maintenance involves more than meets the eye. When you want great results, it is important to seek out proper care for the parts of the system that you can see, as well as those behind the scenes. Without proper filtration and circulation, you can expect poor water quality, clogs and even run-down motors. Along with regular cleaning, it is important to carry out regular inspections of the water pump, motor, filters and more. Any time there is an electrical component to a project, it is important to act safely, which means taking the time to unplug the pump and ensure there is no threat of electrical shock or damage. 

Outdoor Fountain Maintenance: No matter where it sits, water feature care is made up of both regular cleaning and upkeep, as well as seasonal prep work. For example, when it is time to winterize your fountain, look to the professionals to shock your system and drop your water level. Outdoor water fountain pumps, jets and skimmers operate in the same way as pools do, so it is important to treat them in the same way. Taking an amateur or inexperienced approach to draining can lead to drowned lawns, water damage, leaks, rot and mold.
