Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the fountain periodically to prevent algae buildup and mineral deposits. Use a soft brush and mild soap with water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Pump Cleaning: Disconnect the pump and disassemble it according to its specific instructions (usually involves removing the cover and impeller). Clean any debris or mineral buildup from the impeller and housing.
- Water Quality: Use distilled water to minimize mineral buildup. If using tap water, consider adding a fountain algaecide or clarifier.
- Winterization: Before the first frost, completely drain all water from the fountain and pump. Disconnect the pump and store it in a dry, frost-free location. Clean and cover the fountain base, or bring it indoors if possible, to protect it from harsh winter conditions.
