Trophy Club Water Feature Maintenance

Outdoor fountains add a ton of character and curb appeal to any property — but only if they’re kept clean! A swampy water feature will look terrible, smell awful and drag down your curb appeal. Don’t learn to live with a dirty water fountain when you can book professional Trophy Club water feature maintenance with a local Puddle Pro! 

Cleaning an outdoor water fountain isn’t as easy as just grabbing a bleach-based cleaner and scrub brush. Using the wrong cleanser can strip away protective coatings and the wrong tools can damage surfaces. Proper fountain cleaning and maintenance doesn’t just improve looks, it keeps your water flowing smoothly by preventing damage and prolonging the lifespan of parts and surfaces. 

Water Fountain Cleaning: What to Know 

Water features are up against the same risks as any swimming pool or hot tub. These risks include algae growth, white mold, mineral deposits, white scale, debris buildup and more. Whether you are managing a fountain inside or outdoors regular cleaning is key to keeping systems running smoothly but this can be easier said than done! Routine cleaning plans can quickly become overwhelming with an already busy schedule and that’s why Puddle technicians offer options for routine cleaning programs and single treatments. 

Remove Debris: When you want to get rid of unwanted items the size of a fountain will directly impact how much of a headache this is! A basic garden fountain can be scooped out with a skimmer but larger water features can mean having to wade out to reach unwanted items floating out in the middle. Unlike a swimming pool you can’t just turn on a pool vacuum and forget it. Complicated structures with multiple tiers or hard angles need manual vacuums and speciality skimmers to completely remove debris. 

Scrub Stains: In the case of algae growth or staining using the wrong tools can cause serious damage. Wire brushes can tear vinyl liners and pressure washing aged or weakened concrete means breakage and possible water leaks. After years of industry experience Puddle technicians are able to assess the unique makeup and needs of structures and water systems. This allows us to create customized treatment plans that suit your space. 

Cleaning Internal Water Systems: A fountain is made up of a series of complex parts. Even if exterior surfaces look clean debris may be causing blockages inside lines and around vulnerable components like the water pump. A clogged filter makes it difficult for water to pass through. This puts added pressure on the fountain pump. Cleaning the pump on a routine basis along with surfaces improves the output of your water feature prolonging lifespans and reducing operational costs. 

Throughout the course of the year water fountain care programs will change with the seasons. If you are looking to shut your water systems down, have an expert drop the water level, cover the fountain and protect it from the elements. Draining the water doesn’t seem like a complicated job but where this water redirects is very important. Let an expert drop your water levels and then when you’re ready to get the fountain running again, call a Puddle technician to add water, perform chemical treatments and clean surfaces for the best possible results.
