Cleaning A Solar Water Fountain

When we are installing a garden there are many things that we have to place inside of it. One that we love to utilize more than anything is a solar water fountain. For under $1,000 you will have the ability to purchase a decent fountain and even install it on your own. When you are done you are welcome to enjoy the beauty of it and watch as it lights up your garden every day. That sheen will rub off though if you do not do what is needed to keep it clean and working the right way.Something like this is perpetually being bombed by dirt, algae, leaves, and bugs. Without the right cleaning it will become stained, nasty, and might even break because of the damage that is caused. Cleaning it is easy and will only take a couple of hours once a month.Begin by removing the water pump. Follow the instructions in your user manual to be sure that it is being done properly and it does not break. Withdraw the water using a drain plug. If you do not have this than utilize the pump and a long tube to syphon it out.When the water is removed you should take out any dirt, sticks, leaves, and bugs that are in it. Use an old cloth to wash down the inside of the fountain. Any crevices need to be cleaned utilizing a soft bristled toothbrush. This is also helpful at taking away algae that is stuck on. If you find any stains you need to use white vinegar to remove them. Take the cover off the pump and take out any debris in it. Now that you have exhaustively cleaned the fountain it is time to rinse the inside utilizing a hose. Make sure to fill it up with water and add any treatments that help to keep algae from growing in it.
