How to Clean and Care for
Your Outdoor Water
Fountain
Surface Care
Control algae and mineral buildup:
Due to water evaporation, you may see white residue
from the mineraI content- or green and black residue
from algae growth. Using distilled water will reduce this
problem. For stubborn cases, an algaecide controller and
cleansers can prevent this buildup.
Protect the exterior of your fountain seasonally with UV
protectant spray and refinish as needed with outdoor
paint recommended for use on your fountain's material
(resin, plastic, metal, etc).
Winter Care
Drain your fountain completely so water doesn't freeze
and damage or crack your fountain which will cause leaks.
Bring small fountains indoors for the winter and store in a
dry, covered location.
For large fountains: bring ALL pumps and components
inside, or to a temperature-controlled environment.
Elevate your fountain so it doesn't freeze to the ground.
Fill the basin with an absorbent material, remove the
drain plug if you have one and place a heavy-duty plastic
cover over the fountain.
