What Water Feature Maintenance Covers in Whitby
Water fountains can add a lot of personality to any home or commercial property. The problem is that this can be a clean and inviting personality, or something swampy that looks terrible. When fountain water is clean and running smoothly, it adds a lot of curb appeal. Green and bad smelling water will do the exact opposite.
Don’t learn to deal with swampy looking fountains when you can call Puddle instead! Local Puddle technicians provide efficient and affordable Whitby water feature maintenance services for homes and businesses.
Water Feature Care: How to Keep Your Fountain Running Smoothly
Fountains are complicated structures with many moving parts. Just throwing in a bit of shock or scooping out leaves that are floating along surfaces isn’t enough to keep water systems clean.
Managing a large fountain means having to wade out into water to reach whatever is floating in the middle. For taller structures you may have to climb up on ladders or slippery surfaces to reach higher areas. These are both risks to health and safety. Luckily, our local Puddle Pros have got you covered.
The secret to success when managing water systems is consistency. It is easy to book a one-time cleaning but it won’t take long for chemicals to wear off, debris to build up and water to go green. Outdoor water fountains are at the mercy of the elements. This makes it very important to keep up with cleaning and maintenance in order to avoid poor visuals and damage.
Whether they are inside or outdoors, water fountains are up against very different contaminants. Indoors you can expect cloudy water or potential mineral deposits. Outside, you can expect to see organic debris, algae growth and usually bad smells and swampy water. This not only looks awful, it can also cause a lot of damage to your water system.
Water Fountain Cleaning: The Puddle Secret to Success
If debris isn’t removed from water, it will float around creating clogs and blockages. Clogs often form inside water lines, around equipment and in filters. When a filter is clogged, water can’t circulate properly. This forces the water pump to work harder, using more energy and straining pumps. This means more wear and tear, along with shortened lifespans for your parts and equipment.
Why deal with expensive replacements when you can clean the pump regularly instead? Proper fountain cleaning can be broken down into three distinct categories: routine cleaning, deep cleaning and seasonal care.
Routine Cleans: includes removing debris, chemical treatments, filter assessments, scrubbing, flushing lines and ensuring everything is running smoothly.
Deep Cleans: uses a multi-part chemical treatment specially formulated to pull buildup from inside water lines, dragging it into the fountain basin. From here, water can be drained and concrete surfaces are acid washed to remove stains. It is then time to add water and balance chemicals.
Seasonal Treatments: protects outdoor and garden fountains throughout the off-season. Cold weather can mean frozen water. If water freezes inside water lines, it can cause pipes to burst, makes plastic brittle and causes damage. Drop the water level to prevent freezing and warping and apply winterizing chemicals to prevent algae growth.

Whitby Water Feature Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pool fence rules in Whitby?
Whitby's Fence By-law 8228-25 requires a pool enclosure permit before building a private outdoor pool and counts ornamental ponds as pools if water can exceed 0.6 m deep. The enclosure must be at least 1.2 m high, non climbable and free of unprotected openings over 100 mm; gates must be self closing and self latching and padlocked when the pool is not in use. That 1.2 m minimum is lower than neighbouring Oshawa and Ajax, so confirm Whitby's rules with the Town.
How do I drain a salt water pool in Whitby?
Under Region of Durham Sewer Use By-law 55-2013, salt water pool water must go to the sanitary drain or be contained on your own property until it evaporates or soaks in. It may not be drained to the storm sewer, so confirm with the Region before emptying the pool.
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.
Why is my fountain losing water?
Evaporation and splash account for some loss, especially outdoors. Faster loss can come from a leak, a clogged line that sends water where it should not go or a problem with the plumbing. An inspection of the circulation system is the way to find out.
How often should a water feature be serviced?
It depends on the feature, where it is and how much debris reaches it. Outdoor features and busy public features usually need more frequent attention than indoor ones. We set the schedule as part of the treatment plan.
Just had a visit from George from Puddle Pool Services and was so grateful for his approach, communication and suggestions for maintenance. It wasn't a easy job in accessing the panel and he was gracious in taking the necessary steps and putting everything back in place. The next day check in to make sure everything is working well is just a superior customer service. Thank you again.
