Water Feature Care

Water Level

The water feature may lose water due to evaporation. Evaporation varies with climate, humidity, temperature, etc.

It is important to maintain water level for best operation. For the first few months of use, monitor the reservoir periodically to determine the rate of evaporation. Most features are equipped with an Auto-fill to assist with proper function.

Water Feature Maintenance Schedule

Daily/Weekly:

Check the water levels to prevent damage to the pump. Clean any excess debris from the falls, stream or pond area.

Monthly:

Clean filters and Catch Baskets. Dose the water feature with algaecide. You can also use a water clarifier which is fish and plant safe.

Spring Start-up

Wash down reservoir and clean all debris from pond, streams, falls and filter. Attach pump and clear out all lines. Make sure irrigation system is on for the Auto Fill to work and add water with hose to maintain the water level.

Fall Winterization

Leave pump in unit if water depth is maintained at 18”. If water feature is drained pull pump so it does not freeze and store in a bucket full of water where it will not freeze.
