Why Add a Tranquility Water Feature to Your Garden?
Adding a Tranquility water feature does more than create a focal point at home, it changes how the whole garden feels. The gentle sound of flowing water brings a sense of calm and relaxation, making your garden a quiet spot to step away from the day.
It’s a simple way to introduce a peaceful atmosphere, whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee outdoors or winding down in the evening.
Water features also encourage wildlife to visit your garden. Birds, bees, and butterflies are naturally drawn to water, so you'll enjoy a little more life and movement around you. For dedicated bathing and drinking spots, pair your feature with one of our bird baths.
With a wide range of styles and sizes, it's easy to find a design that complements your outdoor space, whether you prefer something modern and minimal or more natural and rustic.
How to Keep Your Tranquility Water Feature Clear
True to their name, Tranquility Water Features bring a calming presence to any garden. Without a bit of care, though, they can quickly lose their charm. The good news is that a little regular maintenance is all it takes to keep it looking fresh and inviting.
Tips to keep your water features clean, clear, and flowing: :
- Use a Fountain Cleaner: Add a safe, non-toxic fountain cleaner to the water regularly to help prevent algae buildup, limescale, and unpleasant odours.
- Top Up with Fresh Water: Check water levels often, especially during warm weather, and top up with clean water to keep your pump working smoothly.
- Remove Debris: Leaves, twigs, and garden debris can clog your pump. Gently remove any visible debris from the surface, basin, and decorative elements to avoid blockages.
- Clean the Pump & Filtration System: Every few weeks, switch off the fountain and rinse the pump and filtration system with clean water to clear any dirt or residue.
- Store or Cover in Winter: During colder months or when not in use, protect your water feature by covering it or storing it indoors, especially resin or solar-powered items.
Inspect your water feature regularly for any signs of damage or wear and tear, and address any issues promptly to keep it in top condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I use a Tranquility water feature?
Anywhere outdoors, whether it’s your home garden, office courtyard, or a peaceful corner of a wellness space. They’re perfect for patios, decking, balconies, or garden beds, just make sure you've got a level surface and access to sunlight or a mains plug socket.
Do I need to keep my water feature running all the time?
Not necessarily. Running your water feature for a few hours a day is usually enough to maintain circulation and prevent stagnant water. Many people switch theirs off overnight or in bad weather to save energy.
Can I use distilled water in my water feature?
Yes, and it’s actually a great choice. Distilled water helps reduce limescale buildup, keeps the pump cleaner for longer, and can minimise algae growth. While it's not essential, using it regularly can cut down on maintenance and keep your water feature running smoothly.
