Accessories

A few essential water fountain accessories will go a very long way in keeping your fountain clean and preserving it.  Quality fountains that are purchased from a reputable vendor will come with a water pump that has been thoughtfully matched up according to the volume of water that it will be maintaining.  Still, these devices can only do so much.  At some point, your water feature will need cleaning and/or some type of effective chemical treatment to prevent algae and clean the water.

Smaller, indoor water fountains that can be easily lifted, generally need to be emptied and wiped out with fountain cleaner approximate twice a year.  Outdoor fountains of the same size that can be  emptied with minimal effort, should be done a little more frequently.  However, some people are able to bypass these cleaning sessions by using the right water feature accessories.  Of course, these accessories for water fountains are ideal for those who have large fountains that are not so easy to empty out and clean.
