Is your water feature due for a clean?
If you have a fountain or water feature in your pond, chances are high that it’s the first thing people see when they look out over your garden. And although regular pond cleaning is a necessity, it’s easy to overlook the upkeep of other features.
Because your fountain is constantly exposed to the water in your pond, it too requires regular maintenance, not only for aesthetic purposes, but also for the overall health of your pond’s ecosystem. For example, there’s no point ridding your pond of algae, only to find more growing on your water feature. They can also be a collection point for leaves, fish waste, or plant debris, and let’s be honest – a dirty fountain really takes away from the relaxing focal point of a pond.
Maintaining appearance and function
Factoring your water feature into a regular maintenance schedule is the best way to ensure that it stays beautiful and functional for as long as possible. Some of the simplest tasks to consider between cleans involve checking there is enough water to cover the pump and filter so they don’t overheat, and making sure the pump is securely in place. This will stop any small fish or plants from being drawn in, as well as improving water circulation and preventing the growth of algae.
However, depending on the size of your pond and the position of your fountain, even these tasks may prove challenging. Likewise, cleaning out the filter is more of a time consuming job and is probably best left to professionals like us. Rather than getting your hands dirty, you can trust us to remove all built-up waste quickly and efficiently, returning optimum functionality to your water feature.
