(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 03, 2009 ) Asheville, NC -- October 28, 2009 -- Ice can do a lot of damage to garden fountains and other outdoor fountains during late fall and winter, making the fountains unusable the following spring. To help consumers properly protect their garden fountains from harsh weather conditions, online fountain retailer KineticFountains.com offers a collection of free tips for winterizing garden and other outdoor fountains in climates where freezing can be expected.
KineticFountains.com offers the following tips on winterizing pond and lake fountains:
1. Drain garden fountains fountains of all water before the first freeze of the season. If water freezes inside garden fountains, it could cause them to crack or it could damage the pump.
2. "If outdoor fountains can be taken apart and stored indoors, that's the ideal option," said President of KineticFountains.com, Brian Godwin. "If not, removing the pump from garden fountains for indoor storage during the winter would be the next best choice."
3. If garden fountains must remain outdoors, covering them with a fountain cover after they're drained can keep rain water and debris from filling and damaging the fountain until spring.
4. If outdoor fountains will be left uncovered for aesthetic reasons during the fall and winter months, the basin and tiers must be filled with some absorbent material to keep water from accumulating, freezing, and cracking the fountain. Burlap, towels, and blankets can all be used.
5. Don't use antifreeze in outdoor fountains like garden fountains. Antifreeze can be toxic to children as well as to birds and other wildlife that can visit fountains to bathe or drink.
"Garden fountains can be a big investment," said Godwin. "To protect that investment and be able to continue to enjoy outdoor fountains in the spring, it's vital that garden fountain owners take precautions and properly winterize those fountains every year."
