How to Maintain Your Retention Pond Fountain Year-Round
                     HOW TO 
MAINTAIN YOUR 
RETENTION 
POND FOUNTAIN 
YEAR-ROUND
REGULAR CLEANING
Regularly remove leaves, twigs, and other debris from the fountain 
and its surrounding area. This helps prevent clogging and maintains 
water flow. At least once a month, check the pump and filter. Clean or 
replace them as needed to ensure efficient operation.
CHECK WATER LEVELS
Keep an eye on water levels, especially during hot weather or after 
heavy rainfall. Low water levels can damage the pump, while 
excessive water can overflow. Refill the fountain with water to 
maintain optimal levels. Use a water conditioner to reduce the buildup 
of algae and minerals.
MANAGE ALGAE GROWTH
To prevent algae growth, use algaecides specifically designed for 
fountains. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application. Scrub 
the fountain’s interior surfaces periodically to remove any algae or 
slime buildup.
WINTERIZING THE FOUNTAIN
In regions with freezing temperatures, drain the fountain to prevent 
ice damage. Remove and store the pump indoors. If it’s not 
removable, ensure it’s protected with an insulating cover. Use a 
fountain cover or tarp to protect the structure from snow and ice. 
Ensure it’s secured to prevent damage from wind.
SPRING PREPARATION
When the weather warms up, inspect all components, including the 
pump, fountain basin, and tubing. Clean and reinstall the pump, 
ensuring all connections are secure. Refill the fountain with water and 
test the pump to ensure it’s operating correctly.
MAINTAIN AESTHETICS
Keep the water clear by using clarifiers if needed and maintaining 
regular cleaning. Consider adding seasonal decorations or plants 
around the fountain to enhance its visual appeal throughout the year.
