    Keeping your pool running smoothly takes a lot more than a skimming every now and then.

    What Water Feature Maintenance Covers in Saanich

    Every home should have character. This can mean intriguing architecture, a funky colour scheme, or it can mean a water fountain. A great feature adds personalty to homes and businesses throughout the Saanich area, but how do you keep them clean? Whether you are installing a brand new water system or are taking over an existing one, it is important to know just what you are dealing with. Professional Saanich water feature maintenance programs keep water clean, systems flowing and protect against unnecessary damage.

    Anyone can visit a garden centre or pool supply store for a few chemicals but water feature care is much more complex than that. If your fountain water is cloudy or you begin to notice mineral deposits or white scale, it isn’t enough to get rid of them, you have to know where they came from! After years of industry experience, our team of highly trained Puddle Pros can identify problem areas and build you a treatment program to match. From cold weather to the height of summer, our technicians get the best results, every time.

    Water Fountain Cleaning: A Multi-Step Approach

    Not all fountains will have the same needs. There are different risks to your water features depending on location, age, type, style and surrounding areas. For example, the most obvious issue facing a garden fountain is algae growth, while indoor models are more prone to white scale. When you want to clean your outdoor fountain, it often means covering a large surface area, as well as multiple tiers, which can be difficult to navigate. The higher your focus area, the more dangerous it is — so leave it to the professionals!

    The key to keeping any water feature clean is to make sure that it is working properly. Sitting water is quick to contamination, so proper circulation is key to keeping water clean and flowing. Cleaning and inspecting your fountain regularly will help to ensure that all components and systems are in good condition and running smoothly.

    Components inside fresh water fountains (distilled water) will often last longer than models using salt due to an increase in corrosion caused by salt. In either case, regular visuals inspections and testing, along with cleaning the pump and filters routinely will help to point out potential problems so they can be repaired quickly instead of having to be replaced later on.

    Even with a routine water feature care plan, there will come a point where you will need to deep clean your system. If this is the case, a bit of white vinegar or mild soap will not be enough to get results. It all starts with draining your water. From here, surfaces can be acid washed, scrubbed and cleaned using specialized cleansers for the best possible results. An amateur approach to draining can lead to drowned lawns, water damage, rot and mold. If you are deep cleaning, it is best to leave the draining to the experts. Let our team of Puddle Pros handle everything from water levels, inspecting the fountain pump, lines and more to keep your fountain running smoothly.

    Saanich 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.
