Maintenance & Storage of Fountain
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your fountain,
make sure you perform the following maintenance activities on a
regular basis:
● Distilled water is always recommended to fill your fountain. Distilled
water is pure and should have no minerals or sediment in it. It will extend
the life of the pump and the time between cleanings. If distilled water is
not an option, use filtered water, as water directly from your tap will
generally have minerals and chemicals that can build up and leave
behind residue on your fountain.
● Check the water level regularly to ensure the pump is completely
submerged during operation. This is necessary ensure proper cooling of
the pump and prevent overheating. In summer months, or dry, hot
climates, water evaporates very quickly, so it may be necessary to check
the water level every day. The rate of water evaporation will also be
greater with larger fountains, with more surface area, than smaller
fountains.
● Keep the fountain water and pump clean and clear of debris. If placed
under a tree or near vegetation, you may need to scoop out leaves and
other debris every other day. Water treatments that prevent algae growth
and mineral deposits are available at your local home & garden stores.Do
not use bleach as it may be harmful to pets and wildlife and may also
damage the finish of the fountain.
● Clean the fountain monthly to prevent mineral deposits and
contamination which may clog the pump.Disconnect the pump from the
power source and empty the water from the fountain. Use any gentle
household cleanser and a soft brush or cloth to clean the fountain. Avoid
using any harsh chemicals, abrasives or rough scrubbing, as this could
damage the finish on your fountain.The frequency of cleaning may vary
depending on the location of your fountain.
● Use a pre-filter on your pump if available to prevent it from clogging
with leaves or other debris.
● Regular cleaning of the pump will be necessary depending upon the
environment in which it is operated. Clean the pump when it is visibly
soiled or when a noticeable decrease in performance is detected. Failure
to clean the pump will result in overheating of the pump.
