Know how to keep your water fountain working at its best by buying the right accessories and cleaning supplies.

If you are looking for Kasco fountains, their accessories and cleaning supplies online, you need to keep in mind a few precautions. Water fountains are not just aesthetically beautiful elements to have at home. They can also increase the value of your home considerably. In this guide, we offer you all the tips you need to keep your water fountain looking and performing at its best.

Many homeowners looking for Kasco fountains on the internet are often duped. This is because they assume that the cheapest or most popular options are always the best. However, as we shall presently show, you do not have to fall for this too. 

What Can You Consider a Water Fountain Accessory?
There is some confusion about what constitutes a water fountain accessory. A common misconception is that an accessory is anything you find displayed next to the outdoor and indoor fountains at a local home supplies store. A more inclusive definition is needed. Anything that adds functionality, visual interest or value to your water fountain is rightly an accessory. This means you can include items you improvise at home on the list. However, it is essential to ensure anything you use is properly waterproof before you place it in say, the fountain's reservoir. Also, ensure you buy smart pond fountain pumps that consume less energy while providing the same benefits as a regular fountain pump. 

Selecting Your Water Fountain's Pump
The functionality and longevity of your water fountain depend on the kind of pump.There are many factors to keep in mind when looking for a water pump for your fountain. The most essential of these factors are power and output metrics. The best advice to follow when replacing a water fountain pump is to ask the supplier or manufacturer. They will be well placed to give you recommendations about which brand and model best works with your water fountain. 

Cleaning Supplies for Your Water Fountain
Besides the pump and other water fountain accessories, you should be careful in selecting the most appropriate cleaning supplies. Not every cleaning accessory will be suitable for your kind and model of water fountain and pump. The factors which determine the right cleaning supplies to use include:

  • The pump and fountain's construction material 
  • The size of the fountain
  • Whether your fountain is an indoor or outdoor kind

Some cleaning supplies can be corrosive on some materials used in the construction of water fountains. Copper is especially prone to corrosive damage. You also need to keep in mind that some home-made cleaning remedies can be more effective and protective than those you get at the store. For instance, when cleaning copper water fountains, you will get good results when using domestic furniture polish. Don't use fabric detergents on copper surfaces. Just as well, stainless steel water fountains call for special care. Do not use abrasive cleaners or even cleaning sponges. Bleaches and chlorine-based detergents and soaps are also prohibited.
