New season essentials for garden fountains
As the weather gets warmer we are all drawn to the outside. Rediscovering your garden fountain after the winter can be a delight and sometimes a pain depending on if you cleaned out the water pump before the winter set in.
Turning on your water feature after several months of inactivity and nothing happens. This is the the most common thing we come accross at this time of the year.
The most common reason is that the crud accumulated over the summer has solidified over the winter and is preventing the rotor from turning.
Cleaning your water pump is as easy as popping off the end cover ( making sure the power is off first) and pulling out the rotor, then clean the whole area with a sponge or small brush, flush with clean water to make sure the rotor housing is clean.
Replace the rotor and it should spin freely with just a slight resistance felt from the magnets. Push the cover back on and your done.
If your water pump still fails to respond check your fuses on your electrical connections.
If it still wont run it maybe time to invest in a new pump for your water feature.
We stock replacement pumps for all out garden fountains at reasonable cost which includes delivery.
If you are replacing a pump from a water feature not supplied by us your welcome to contact us for advice on which pump is right for your water feature or garden fountain design.
