Overtime, decorative fountains can become full of algae if it is not treated regularly. Just as you would treat other bodies of water, maintenance is required to keep them the clean, aesthetically pleasing focal point of your property.
All it takes for algae to grow is a little sunlight and water! Since your decorative fountain is likely a very shallow container of water, it will be incredibly easy for growth to appear - and often. Algae buildup in your decorative fountain is not only an eyesore, but can cause premature damage to your pump. Restricted waterflow, or the lack thereof, will overwork your pump motor until it ultimately overheats and fails. Maintenance is key to keep everything clean, clear, and functioning smoothly.
Algae treatments with our Decorative Fountain Algae Control is a long lasting fix to make sure your fountain is always looking its best. Decorative Fountain Algae Control is an EPA registered and regulated product that is similar to other types of algaecides. Decorative Fountain will kill and inhibit the growth of green water algae, string and hair algae, and blanketweed algae. A small dose lasts up to a week or more and is very economical due to its concentrated formula. Using Decorative Fountain appropriately and responsibly will not bring harm to any animals or wildlife who may drink directly out of the fountain. Since this product is meant for decorative landscape fountains, we do not recommend using it for bodies of water that contain fish.
