Cleaning an Indoor Fountain vs. Garden Fountains
There is no question that there is a big difference between caring for a water feature indoors and outside. In addition to looking great, outdoor fountain pumps can help, not only to keep water flowing in a decorative sense and can help power irrigation systems, designed to reach areas that might otherwise be difficult. This on its own should set the stage for just how important a circulation system can be.
In an outdoor environment, fountain maintenance means having to deal with organic debris and natural materials but that does not mean that indoor spaces are any easier to care for. Even without the threat of fallen leaves or animal contact, indoor spaces are at the mercy of everything around them. From discolouration to algae, to pennies and trash, there is a lot going on just below the surface of your water.
On one hand, interior fountains will have a lower traffic rate but this often leads to a bit of neglect. In swimming pools, maintaining water balance is the key to a safe swimming area but proper water chemistry and care is necessary for fountains, as well. Failing to keep up with care can lead to white scale and mineral deposits, not only looking awful, but building up and restricted functionality.
