Caring for Your Outdoor Fountain During Different Weather Conditions

Outdoor fountains can add beauty and tranquility to any garden or patio, but they require some attention, especially when the weather shifts. Here’s how you can ensure your fountain remains in pristine condition year-round.

Summer Splendor Maintenance

Summer brings heat and sometimes intense sunlight, which can be both a blessing and a challenge for outdoor fountains. Regularly check the water levels in your fountain to compensate for evaporation; this is particularly important for tabletop fountains like the Newport Tabletop Fountain. Additionally, clean the surfaces to prevent algae growth and keep your fountain sparkling by using gentle, non-abrasive cleaners.

Autumn Adjustments

As leaves start to fall, your outdoor fountain might accumulate debris. It's crucial to protect intricate designs like those on the Colette Wall Fountain for Spout. Use a small net or hand scoop to remove leaves and other debris regularly. If your fountain has a pump, ensure it remains free of obstructions to maintain water flow.

Winterizing Your Fountain

During the cold months, freezing temperatures can cause water to expand, potentially damaging your fountain. For fountains like the Acquarossa Two Tier Fountain Short, consider draining the water and covering them with a breathable fabric. This helps protect the surface from snow and ice damage. If possible, move smaller fountains indoors to a sheltered area.

Spring Cleaning Freshness

Spring is the perfect time to revive your fountain from its winter dormancy. Begin by refilling and reassembling any components that were stored away. This is especially important for larger installations, such as the Deep English Cistern Fountain, to ensure everything functions smoothly. Perform a thorough cleaning and inspect for any wear and tear that may need addressing before summer.
