New Westminster Water Feature Maintenance
New Westminster is one of the oldest cities in British Columbia, and that means properties have a lot of character! Adding a water feature can help to highlight a great outdoor space, or can add curb appeal to any residential property or storefront. Whether you have an outdoor garden fountain, or a wall fountain indoors, each of these come along with a lot of hard work. When you want all the benefits and none of the heavy lifting, call a Puddle Pools technician for your New Westminster water feature maintenance.
In the right hands, water fountain care can help to keep your system running smoothly, but an amateur approach can do a lot more harm than good. Improper cleaning or chemical imbalance can lead to algae growth, white scale or mineral deposits, while amateur winterization can led to flooding lawns, or water damage. With so much riding on technique, don’t bother with a DIY approach to water feature cleaning and maintenance — call a Puddle Pro instead!
Water Fountain Cleaning: What to Watch Out For
While some property owners are quick to skim out pools or hot tubs, water fountains are often ignored. It is common to spot a bit of debris floating along water surfaces, but this can quickly go from a nonissue to a big problem. If you do not remove debris from fountains, it can lead to contamination, algae growth, chemical imbalance and even permanent staining on vinyl liners.
When trying to clean off surfaces around a kitchen or bathroom, basic cleaners might be enough to get results, but water feature care and cleaning demands specialized cleaning solutions. Cleaning empty shells with bleach or other harsh chemicals can damage protective coatings, while scrubbing with white vinegar is not enough to eliminate bacteria.
As seasons change, you might begin to see a bit of frost settling in across water surfaces. While this might add a touch of whimsy to your outdoor space, it can be incredibly bad news for your water feature. Without dropping the water level, the mechanics of your system can be put under the serious strain of expansion and contraction that comes from freezing and thawing. If there is water frozen inside pipes, it can also lead to the plastic becoming brittle, leading to breakage. Whether you are leaving your system running throughout the winter, or are hoping to close down, our team of experts is able to offer both insights and treatments.
It is important to clean your water, but it is also important to pay attention to structural and mechanical components as well. Outdoor fountain pumps are susceptible to strain if there are clogs and blockages within your system, but freezing temperatures can also lead to brittle plastics and unexpected breakage. It is easy to panic as temperatures begin to drop, but before you begin to drain the water or remove the pump from your system, call an expert! Our Puddle technicians not only provide helpful care tips — they can do the work for you!
