Miami Water Feature Maintenance

No matter where you live, water is a necessity, but in Miami FL, it is a way of life! From recreational water activities to building homes on the beach, Floridians are always finding ways to incorporate water into the every day and what is a better way to do that than with a fountain! As great as these additions might look around your property, they are tough to take care of! Instead of struggling, call a Puddle Pool Pro for your Miami water feature maintenance. 

Calling on professional water feature care means having an expert take control over not only the look of a feature, but functionality as well. Adding a water feature or fountain is an investment in your curb appeal and the overall enjoyment of your property, so protect that investment with a bit of help from the Puddle team. 

Water Fountain Care: What is Floating Around Your System 

Whether you have an indoor fountain or an outdoor water fountain, there are contaminants everywhere! No matter what types of water features you are dealing with, there are a few key elements that must be present. From ponds or a garden fountain in your backyard to features on a golf course, wall fountains in a commercial space or large structure at home, each of these requires a water pump, interior mechanisms – and regular cleaning! 

Like any water feature, there is always a risk of algae growth, mold or white scale buildup. You might be able to remove unwanted growth with a quick wipe from a soft cloth and a bit of white vinegar but this is only a superficial fix. Just because the visuals are wiped away does not mean that the bacteria is not still there. You might not swim in them, but a fountain can still present a risk to health and safety. 

Water fountain cleaning requires balancing chemicals, cleaning shells, monitoring surrounding areas and inspecting mechanisms. Failing to clean your fountain regularly can mean buildup in drains and pipes, a clogged filter and unnecessary wear and tear on interior areas. In addition to a poor visual, or green water, this can result in unseen strain, leading to the need for costly repairs and replacements. 

Unlike the distilled water you might get from a shop, stagnant water can lead to illness if ingested. All it takes is dipping a hand into dirty water and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth, to end up with serious illness. This might seem outlandish for an adult, but for children, it is very common. No one ever intends to get someone sick but for a business this can be a serious issue for both reputation and liability – so avoid an issue by calling Puddle for your regular cleaning needs.
