Sarnia Water Feature Maintenance

Everybody loves a good water fountain! There is a reason that so many homes and businesses install water features both indoors and outside. Water features offer soothing sounds, are great meeting points and can help to bring a little bit of nature indoors — but taking care of them is no picnic! Hiring Puddle for your Sarnia water feature maintenance keeps water clean, systems running smoothly and prevents damage and the need for expensive repairs. 

An outdoor fountain is up against the same environmental threats that a pool or hot tub is but they often don’t get the same amount of attention. While you might clean a swimming pool on a weekly basis, fountains often go months without a proper cleaning, leading to algae growth, foul smells, and discolouration. Instead of waiting for your fountain to go swampy, create a cleaning plan that caters to the unique needs of your water systems. 

Water Fountain Cleaning: Getting the Best Results For Your Water Systems 

Installing a fountain is a landscape design goal for many properties all across the Sarnia area but maintenance often isn’t a big consideration. Whether you are installing a new fountain, are taking over an existing water feature or are having a tough time keeping up with the needs of a fountain, our Puddle Pros are here to help. Keeping your fountain look great and working properly are two very different things. Anyone can create a visual improvement but real results come from a multi-step approach, technical skill and a whole lot of elbow grease. 

Whether inside or outdoors, cleaning your fountain regularly means: water treatments, debris removal and structural care. Indoor fountains are often susceptible to white scale and mineral deposits while a garden fountain is vulnerable to organic debris and grass clippings following lawn care. Luckily our team of Puddle technicians are able to safely remove debris, treat water and understand how to clean structures without causing damage. 

Water Treatments: Just like a pool, the water inside a fountain needs to be chemically treated in order to stay clean. Without regular chemical treatments it won’t take long for water to go cloudy or green. Maintaining clean water means regular application of chemicals and water balancing. 

Debris Removal: When managing outdoor water fountain care, you are likely dealing with a large model of fountain. Debris at the ground level can often be scooped out with a skimmer but the larger your fountain, the more difficult this becomes, particularly when you are dealing with multiple tiers. If structures are slippery, stepping on a ledge to reach higher tiers can quickly lead to slips, falls and injury. 

Cleaning Structures/Deep Cleans: If you start to notice algae growth, mildew or discolouration a bit of mild soap and scrubbing with a soft cloth is not enough to get results. At the same time, aiming a pressure washer at aged or weakened materials can lead to serious damage and a big headache. A deep clean involves in-depth chemical treatments as well as draining, acid washing and heavy scrubbing. There is a right way and a wrong way to drain the water from a fountain, so it is always best left up to the experts.
