Improve your overall water quality
When there is a lack of oxygen in your lake or pond, bottom sediments release gases that can cause water quality problems. Proper aeration brought on by a water fountain allows for many of the factors of poor water quality to be mitigated.
Decreases mosquito activity
Summers in St. Louis means mosquitos are prevalent in your yard. Mosquitoes require still water conditions for their eggs to develop. A fountain will create a constant flow of water in your lake or pond, helping to reduce the viable mosquito breeding habitat and acting as a natural & sustainable mosquito control solution.
Helps to control and reduce excessive algae growth
Fountains and the aeration process of adding oxygen to your body of water help starve out the nutrients that algae need to grow and prosper. The aeration caused by fountains also effectively mixes algae spores into the deeper parts of the lake or pond so that they will have less available sunlight and time to grow.
Reduces the accumulation of bottom sediment
Organic matter decomposes much more slowly under low oxygen conditions which can lead to a buildup of bottom sediment in your lake or pond. Proper aeration by the use of a fountain will help reduce the overall accumulation of organic sediment, potentially prolonging or preventing the need for future dredging.
MAINTENANCE
Fountains need periodic cleaning in order to have fresh, clear water that can consistently flow at the desired rate. This is especially true for outdoor fountains, which are more susceptible to weather and debris than indoor fountains. There are many factors that you want to consider to keep your fountain in top shape.
Number 1 is the pump, it must be kept and free of debris. A cleaning schedule is a must, in order to keep the parts from becoming corroded, gathering scale and algae, becoming clogged with debris, or connected tubing restricted with build-up. The exact cleaning procedure varies by manufacturer, but will involve powering off, removing the pump and partial disassembly. You need to clean or replace filters, and particularly clean the impeller and impeller cavity. Then re-assemble the pump. Filters in the system need to be cleaned and/or replaced. Water must be kept clean. If the fountain serves any animals, you also need to keep it sanitary. This can usually be accomplished with chemicals, but occasional drain and refill may be necessary. Stones should be clean and free of algae. Electrical items such as purifiers, misters, and lights may need special attention. If your fountain is seasonal, you may need to prep it for winter. Watch for slowing flow. This usually means problems may be lurking. It may be time to look for leaks.
