Palm Beach Water Feature Maintenance

Palm Beach County is known for just that – its beaches! Nothing can help bring in the oceanside feel or accentuate the beauty of the city more than a water feature. This might be an outdoor water fountain full of floating plants, or a wall fountain indoors but in either case, keeping them running clean is key. Expert Palm Beach County water feature maintenance can help to keep your system running smoothly, while creating a safe and inviting space for guests. 

When running smoothly, nothing can be more relaxing than taking a seat next to a garden fountain and listening to the sound of flowing water. Without regular cleaning, however, this can be a pretty unappealing experience. Whether outside or indoors, without regular cleaning, care and maintenance, your features are prone to algae growth, foul smells, murky water and bacteria.

Why Should You Clean Your Fountain Regularly? 

Water fountains are prone to the same issues that pools and hot tubs are. When outside, they are at the mercy of the elements, while indoors they can be exposed to a wide range of manmade factors. Other than the visual aspect of a clean water feature, there are two main reasons to keep yours in great shape: health and safety, and overall condition of your structures.

Fountains may not be designed to swim in but this doesn’t stop children from dipping their hands in. All it takes is a bit of contamination to lead to illness and irritations. Sticking a hand into contaminated water can lead to everything from eye and ear infections, to skin irritations and even e-coli poisoning. 

If the threat of potential illness wasn’t enough, proper water feature care can help to reduce wear and tear on your system, protecting your fountains, but also your wallet! As tempting as it might be to grab a bottle of eco-friendly cleaner or white vinegar and hoping to clean off algae and discolourations, these will not eliminate bacteria or mineral deposits. Leaving your fountain running is a great way to keep water circulating, and that means chemicals are running through your system too. Stagnant water is a sure fire way to end up with bacteria, white scale and more unappealing and harmful side effects. 

Hiring an expert for your water fountain cleaning can help to reduce risks and prolong the lifespan of your system. A customized care plan helps to maintain clear running water and overall condition. No matter what types of water features you are dealing with, complete care revolves around a system of chemical treatments, visual inspections, and finer details, such as monitoring water levels and reviewing filters. 

Cleaning an outdoor water fountain means having to remove debris and dealing with stains. When dealing with a concrete fountain you might be able to empty fountains and pressure wash harder surfaces to get rid of algae and stains. More than just boosting curb appeal a proper cleaning keeps water flowing. Avoid unnecessary wear and tear on lines, pumps, motors and internal components with regular cleanings and water treatments.

Proper water feature care is not just about the areas that you can see but also revolves around the sections that you can’t. For example, monitoring a filter on a wall fountain might mean opening up a panel, while inspecting outdoor fountain pumps can mean travelling away from the feature itself into a shed or buried container. After years in the industry, there is nothing that our Puddle technicians can’t track down.
