Title: How to Maintain Your Retention Pond Fountain Year-Round
1HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR RETENTION POND FOUNTAIN
YEAR-ROUND
2REGULAR CLEANING
Regularly remove leaves, twigs, and other debris
from the fountain and its surrounding area. This
helps prevent clogging and maintains water flow.
At least once a month, check the pump and filter.
Clean or replace them as needed to ensure
efficient operation.
3CHECK WATER LEVELS
Keep an eye on water levels, especially during
hot weather or after heavy rainfall. Low water
levels can damage the pump, while excessive water
can overflow. Refill the fountain with water to
maintain optimal levels. Use a water conditioner
to reduce the buildup of algae and minerals.
4MANAGE ALGAE GROWTH
To prevent algae growth, use algaecides
specifically designed for fountains. Follow the
manufacturers instructions for application.
Scrub the fountains interior surfaces
periodically to remove any algae or slime buildup.
5WINTERIZING THE FOUNTAIN
In regions with freezing temperatures, drain the
fountain to prevent ice damage. Remove and store
the pump indoors. If its not removable, ensure
its protected with an insulating cover. Use a
fountain cover or tarp to protect the structure
from snow and ice. Ensure its secured to prevent
damage from wind.
6SPRING PREPARATION
When the weather warms up, inspect all
components, including the pump, fountain basin,
and tubing. Clean and reinstall the pump,
ensuring all connections are secure. Refill the
fountain with water and test the pump to ensure
its operating correctly.
7MAINTAIN AESTHETICS
Keep the water clear by using clarifiers if
needed and maintaining regular cleaning. Consider
adding seasonal decorations or plants around the
fountain to enhance its visual appeal throughout
the year.
