Caring for Mirror Wall Fountains
Your mirror wall fountain is the best house décor that you have recently acquired. To keep your fountain always looking dandy and to preserve the life of your mirror wall fountain for years to come, here are some tips that you might find handy. Use Distilled Water. It is recommended that you use distilled water for your mirror wall fountain. Unlike tap water, distilled water is pure and has no mineral deposits and residues. Stains will develop on your fountain over time when you use tap water. This will destroy the artistic value of your fountain and affect its overall performance. Distilled water for large wall mirror wall fountains and free standing mirror wall fountains may not be feasible; in this case, take advantage of the next tip.
Use fountain care products. No More White Scale, No More Algae and No More Foam are 3 products that you should never run out of. These solutions will help you maintain your mirror wall fountain. With regular use of fountain care products, there is prevention of white scale deposits and rapid algae growth on your fountain. You can also try fountain protectors such as Care Free Enzymes Fountain Protector. This not only works great with mirror wall fountains, but with any other kinds of fountain as well.
Regularly clean your mirror wall fountain. Of course, you would have to do the thorough cleaning routine every 2-4 months; you would, with any water feature anyway. But if want to keep your mirror wall fountain always looking new, just wiping with a clean cloth on the surface of the fountain will do the trick.
Check your fountain pump. Depending on the climate in your area and the atmosphere in your home, water in your mirror wall fountain evaporates. At first, it is important to monitor how many days before the pump is exposed to know the frequency of water refilling. It is very important to have the pump submerged in water as being exposed will ruin it.
Keep the fountain pump clean. It can’t be stressed enough, your pump is very important to keep your mirror wall fountain working. Without the pump, your mirror wall fountain is just another mirror in the house. Protect your pump by regularly cleaning it. Just detach it from the fountain, take it to the sink where it can be conveniently cleaned by running jets of water on it and brushing it to get rid of any mineral build up and algae growth, and you can reattach it after you are sure that it has been thoroughly cleaned.
Keep your water fountains always on. Yes, you read that right. Keep your mirror wall fountain on-and yes, always. When you turn your mirror wall fountain on and off, you may be thinking that you are giving your pump a favor by giving it some rest. Fact is, water fountains are made to work nonstop and when you keep turning it on and off, you would do more damage than good to the pump.
Also, moving and flowing water is better than stagnant water. Bacterial growth is avoided when water is constantly moving. So, don’t fret about your mirror wall fountain running 24/7. They are made to work that way. We hope that you find these tips helpful—and we are confident that you will enjoy your mirror wall fountain for years to come.
