Care of Your Garden Fountain

Frequently asked Questions

Care of Garden Fountains

Maintenance of outdoor garden fountains:
Our garden fountains are made from the highest quality reconstituted limestone. The are engineered and designed for maximum beauty and utility. A small amount of regular maintenance will allow you to enjoy your fountain for many years. Primarily, keep you fountain free of debris. small leaves, twigs, etc. can clog the fountain pump and tubing. Simply remove the easily accessed pump, and flush with a garden hose. Frequency depends on your situation; if your fountain is beneath trees with frequently falling leaves, you may need to clean out your fountain more frequently.


Maintaining the Correct Water Level

Maintaining the water level in your fountain is crucial to keeping it running properly, and preserving the life of your pump. Fountains are natural humidifiers for the environment. The amount of water that each fountain consumes daily depends on how dry the air is and what type of fountain you have. For example, a small fountain kept in a heated conservatory is going to have the water evaporate much faster than a large fountain in a shaded corner of the garden. Generally speaking, you should add a small amount of water each day instead of adding several gallons every few weeks. Try to maintain a water level that covers the pump by at least an 30mm. A good way to remember to do this is to make it a habit to add water to your fountain when you are watering your plants.
This only applies in dry weather. In wet weather you may not need to top up

Garden Fountains and water features in freezing climates

The UK has a mild enough climate that all our garden fountains can be left running virtually all year round. Even as the the frosty mornings arrive the movement of the water and the slight warmth generated by the pump will keep your fountain free from ice. However if the water in the fountain bowls is allowed to freeze it can as it expands cause damage to the pump and fountain bowl.
The fountain may be left in severe freezing weather, provided it is drained.
To drain your fountain simply undo the cable gland nut in the main bowl and all the water will drain out, tiered fountains and some pot water features may also need the plastic pipe removed to allow the upper parts to drain.
