Water Fountain Cleaning: Getting the Best Results
More than just a simple garden fountain, indoor water fountains have their own set of unique needs. Treating outdoor fountain pumps is one thing but turning your attentions to indoor areas means catering your approach to the amount of traffic and unique characteristics of your surrounding areas.
Outdoor fountains, for example, are prone to algae and more natural pressures but inside, there is a whole host of other issues to deal with. Imbalanced water chemistry can allow bacteria to build and can lead to algae. Hard water can also lead to mineral deposits that build between tiles and clog up motors and vulnerable areas. A trained eye can help to diagnose problem areas before they begin to impact your system.
In-depth fountain care means handling even the most vulnerable aspects of your water feature. Wall fountains, for example might require removing a panel to see the area behind the front facing areas of a water feature. Opening these areas make it possible to clean the pump, but an amateur approach can lead to unnecessary damage.
