Tips for Saving Money on Water Fountain Accessories
After you’ve purchased and paid for your water fountain, you soon discover that there is more to buy. Even the most inexpensive water fountains require care, cleaning, and maybe a little something to jazz up the area around the fountain itself. That’s where water fountain accessories come into play. A great online store will have everything you need to keep your fountain working properly including indoor fountain pumps, safe products for pets, and a variety of water fountain cleaning supplies. Today’s economic themes are downsizing and spending less. The following are ways to make the most of your water fountain and the water fountain accessories that go with it:
Regularly clean your water fountain. Indoor fountain pumps typically last a little longer than outdoor fountain pumps (less clogging), but either model still needs to be cleaned.
Preventing algae in fountains is easy to do with No More Algae cleaner. However, a little goes a long way. Follow the directions carefully and don’t overdo it.
Water fountain lighting is optional. If it’s a feature you’re interested in, see if the fountain you’re buying comes with lighting or if the cost is extra.
Although fountains require little electricity to run, you could save some money by purchasing solar powered fountains.
These are just a few ways to watch your spending while enjoying years of fountain enjoyment and beauty in your own backyard.

SerenityHealth.com Tip: Outdoor Fountain Pumps - The Heart of the Fountain
Just like the engine of your car, the cleaner the fluid that runs through it, the better and longer it’s going to run. Pour a simple cup of water and have a look at it. Chances are that it looks pretty clear. What you don’t see are all the hard deposits and un-dissolved organics floating around in there. Over time, these deposits attach themselves to the inside of outdoor fountain pumps. They also tend to leave nasty residue (white scale, foam, algae) on the surface of your water fountain. Left unchecked, this sediment will eventually erode and clog the outdoor fountain pumps. Although the outdoor fountain pumps sold at Serenity Health are priced well within reason, you probably want yours to last as long as possible.
To do that, make sure you clean the water out of your indoor or outdoor fountain at least once every three months. If you notice a quick buildup of residue, you may have to do it more often. Make sure to use good quality, non-toxic, water fountain accessories like those sold at Serenity Health (No More Foam, No More White Scale, etc.) to help keep the water as clean as possible, and check your outdoor fountain pumps for leaves, dirt, and other debris that may have blown into it.
Fountain pumps are really the heart of the fountain. Keep it in good working condition and you’ll have no problems with your fountain.

Pet-Safe Water Fountain Accessories
The first thing to consider before purchasing an outdoor water fountain is your pet’s safety. Dogs and cats are curious creatures and they may be tempted to take a drink from that newly-installed fountain. Pure water running through it won’t hurt any animal, but what about the cleaning products you’re using? Luckily, if you’ve purchased your water fountain accessories from a reputable retailer, you don’t have to worry. The water fountain cleaning supplies found online at these sources are often non-toxic. Made from naturally-occurring enzymes, cleaners like No More Foam won’t harm plants, birds, pets, or wildlife.
Not sure? Carefully read the product specs before buying. Any warnings will be located directly on the product bottle or container. It’s a safe bet to say that if a product is non-toxic and safe for pets, plants, birds, and wildlife, it’s probably also going to be safe for the environment.
Even though a product is considered “safe” and “non toxic," it’s always good practice to put cleaners away after use. Keep cleaning products locked and out of children’s reach. Never leave products opened or near pet feeding areas, and take care to clean up spilled products.
