What Water Feature Maintenance Covers in Nepean
Water fountains come in a wide range of sizes and styles. Smaller models can fit in indoor alcoves, on porches or even on countertops, while others are larger, multi-tiered and can even act as water traps on golf courses. Throughout Nepean, many property owners have to clean and keep up with one or more of these styles of fountains. Keeping water clean is not always an easy task but it is still a matter of keeping up with curb appeal, the functionality of your water system and even health and safety.
When it comes to managing a water feature, standard cleaning solutions are often not enough to get results. A quick scrub might be able to dislodge a bit of dirt or algae for a superficial improvement but when you want to create a sanitary swim space, it is important to take an in-depth approach to care and maintenance. It is important to keep your water clean and free of algae growth but it is also important to keep an eye out for mineral deposits, white scale, issues in circulation systems and even electricity outlets.
Water Fountain Cleaning: The Best Way to Get Results
Caring for a garden fountain is not as easy as tossing in a few chemicals and plugging in a fountain pump. Keeping a water feature clean means creating a treatment plan that caters to the unique needs of your system. Cleaning larger fountains means having to navigate heights, as well as using the right tools for the job, which can be complicated.
When it comes to water feature care, maintaining fountains in an outdoor space is a much different process from indoor models. Keeping a fountain running outdoors means restricting algae growth, as well as monitoring the different components of your circulation system, including outdoor fountain pumps, motors and more.
At the outset, there isn’t much different between the tap water you use indoors and the water flowing through your fountain, but this changes quickly. Without regular chemical treatments, fountain water is prone to algae buildup and an influx of debris. Organics will break down over time, rotting and adding bacteria to your water systems. The smaller that these bits and pieces become, the more likely they are to clog up sensitive areas. It might be necessary to remove the pump in order to fully clear away blockages, and that requires technical skill.
As seasons change, it is important to change your maintenance routine to keep up with the weather. In the same way that freezing temperatures can damage a pool system, they can also have a negative impact on your fountains. Dropping the water level in a water feature is a great way to prevent damage associated with freezing. As scary as freezing water might be, an improper draining technique is worse! An amateur approach to draining water can quickly lead to drowned lawns, flooded basements, water damage or rot.

Nepean Water Feature Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you look after a water feature that is part of my pool?
Yes. Waterfalls, spillways and other features built into a pool share its water and circulation, so they are maintained as part of looking after the pool.
What kinds of water features do you maintain?
Fountains and water features indoors and outdoors, from residential features to large commercial ones in places like hotels and shopping malls, as well as water features built into pools. Each one gets a treatment plan suited to its size, age and materials.
Do fountains really need water treatment if nobody swims in them?
Yes. Like pools, fountains need balanced water and a working circulation system. Organic debris, bacteria and anything visitors drop in all affect the water, and an imbalance leads to algae, staining and wear on pumps, filters and motors.
What does a water feature maintenance visit include?
Balancing the water chemistry, removing debris and stains and inspecting the circulation and filtration system. We work top to bottom so a clog in one part does not undo the cleaning everywhere else.
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.
We had Zach and his team install our fiberglass pool this summer and they were fantastic. Very informative during the planning, gave great advice when making decisions and executed on the install meticulously. Having a hole dug in your backyard with obstacles like a rear yard garage and limited space to manoeuvre could be unnerving but they excavated with precision and confidence. All equipment was connected in a timely fashion so we weren’t left staring at a pool we couldn’t use. All to say I would highly recommend puddle pools without hesitation.
Pretty easy to write a 5 star review when everything goes smoothly and there are no issues. That was not our experience with Puddle Pools because we had two issues that did not go according to plan. Both issues were resolved promptly and at our time frame, which when you are dealing with a pool company in June and July, that is great service. Their staff were very hard working and knowledgeable and are the reason for this review. Thanks again. Mike and Judy
Puddle Pools and our landscaper turned our backyard into a resort. We spent a few months interviewing pool builders before choosing Puddle Pools, and working with them to get to the finish line, it is clear we made the best choice. The very first consultation with Zach, I learnt lot more than all previous companies that I met. Clear explanation for the various options. Then we had an opportunity to see similar fiberglass pools that we were thinking of and the various colors. We started very late last fall, had the pool, landscaping, hot tub, and fence all done in a span of 6 weeks between end of September and early November before the first snowfall. The quality of work and communication has been outstanding. Zach and his team has been available through this summer teaching me pool maintenance, and visiting us several times to even show maintenance. Excellent work overall, and very fairly priced (the lowest) in comparison with others. Highest possible recommendation.
The crew from Puddle did top notch work again for us. They do open close for us and last year caught something wrong that was concerning from my last company. Yesterday they stayed late to install the pool liner before the holiday. Top notch service and great pricing. Would highly recommend.
We hired Puddle Pool Services to clean and service our hot tub and they did an amazing job. We recently purchased a home in Orleans that came with a hot tub and we wanted to have it drained, cleaned, refilled, and treated. We don't know anything about hot tubs and Anthony (the service rep) was extremely friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. He performed the job according to our requirements and he took the extra time to answer all of our questions. I highly recommend Puddle Pool Services and would hire them again without hesitation.
Helpful advice, prompt service by admin staff and work crew and excellent installation of pool liner. Good product at a reasonable price. Looks like a new pool again! Highly recommended.

Both Zach and Richard are always patient with us since we are first time pool owners. Doesn't matter if its an email or a phone call, they take the time to talk to us, give us their insights and offer assistance. Just this morning, i had an issue with my heating unit and Zach went above to get me to the right direction.
I really enjoyed working with Puddle Pool Services. Last year, they completely saved my pool during closing after I had already tried three different companies and spent thousands of dollars trying to fix issues. My pool was a disaster, and they were the only ones who truly helped. Because of that experience, there was no question that I would have them install my new heater. They also replaced my liner, cleaned the pool, and changed the sand. The team was amazing from start to finish — professional, efficient, and the entire job was completed in just one day. What stood out most was their communication and customer service. They kept me updated throughout the process and even checked in about whether the ice had melted. I never once felt left on my own. When I went to turn on the heater, unfortunately the HVAC company had not connected the electrical properly. I reached out on a Saturday, and within less than 30 minutes they responded. The very next day, they sent their electrician and fixed the issue immediately. The heater works incredibly well — my pool went from 60 degrees to 80 degrees in about six hours. I couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend Puddle Pool Services to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and responsive pool professionals.
We hired Puddles for a complex pool reno (including stamped concrete work). A number of unexpected problems were identified during the job but Puddles saw every single one to resolution and to our complete satisfaction. All of the staff were great to deal with, the owners (Zach and Jason) are very understanding and accommodating. They focus on customer satisfaction and we would highly recommend them. - Colin and Karine Glenn
On opening our pool, we discovered that the heater had died, Zach promptly provided us with a reasonable quote and kept us in the loop during the entire process. Within 3 days the new heater was up and running. A hassle-free experience!
I had a bad experience with Puddle Pools because of an error they made, and I posted about it. Upon seeing my review, the owner of the company looked into what had happened, reached out to me and was apologetic and accountable, and rectified the situation. It shows that he cares about his customers and how he runs his business. I won't hesitate to give them another chance moving forward.
Honestly I was surprised. They have fair prices, better than most, However, what I liked the most was that they weren’t trying to charge me for unnecessary costs (ie. flipping the Hot Tub). Also Dan was good good at getting right in and fixing the problem without wasting time. Which is a mother thing I appreciated especially for costs.
Reached out to puddle pool services for a pool cover. We had reached out to 5+ companies to come give us a quote but refused due to it being a kidney shaped pool, everyone wanted us to measure it, which given the same is extremely difficult. After we reached out to puddle pool services, James quickly reached out to us to schedule an appointment. Within a day Danny came out and quoted us. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Within a week it was installed and we couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend to anyone needing pool service.!!!
I was in the market to have a safety net installation. I requested quotation from big shops in Ottawa. Then I found puddle Pool Services online and gave them a chance. The quotations from the big shops were so sloppy and careless. A paragraph and then a huge price tag. Puddle Pool Services had the most professional quotation and most competitive price (significantly). At first I was a bit hesitant, I asked about services and material through email, and James replied with the most courteous and patient manner. They came on the date that they promised to measure, on the date that they promised to install. They have done very professional job. I certanly recommend them.
We are absolutely thrilled with the work done by Puddle Pools. They recently installed a new liner for our pool, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. They were incredibly professional, highly skilled, and clearly took great pride in their work. Danny was our installer and he is a work horse, never stopped until the work was complete. Zach reached out to us with any questions we had and made sure we were satisfied and well informed. What impressed us most was their commitment to being trustworthy and reliable. They showed up on time, kept us informed about every step of the process. They honour what they promise, and that in itself is amazing. A big shout out to Kenny at Pool Side Water Services who supplied the water for our pool after the liner install. We were so lucky to have hired both Companies who work together as a great team. A big thanks to both Zach and Kenny, we appreciate your commitment to to a job done well. Ken & Cathy
New pool liner installed June 2024 I highly recommend Zach from Puddle Pools for all your pool needs! Rob installed the liner beautifully in one morning. Zach is so quick to respond with quotes, questions and updated on progress of the job. Rob is very knowledgeable and always answered any questions. Prices were extremely fair! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
