    Awesome video! Can you share some insight into how long the pump can be run? Should it be shut off periodically? Or is it designed to be run continuously for days, weeks? Thanks in advance.

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  2 года назад +1

      Keep on running it. Periodic cleaning of the pre-filter is important for longevity of your pump. Winterization may be necessary in your region….BUT the system is designed for continual use ;)

      The animals LOVE all of the feature. They are drawn to the sound and then it is a natural habitat! That fountain was a haven for all creatures-frogs,snails, birds, even insects like honey bees ;)

      Try an aquascape auto doser (look that up) there are different formulations you can put in it) or just look up fountain maintain on their website! Aquascapeinc.com

      You can order one directly from Aquascapes or any garden center or pond store that sells Aquascape Products.

    Great video. I have an aquscapes spillway bowl set. The foam filter plugs fast! I've pulled foam element. I see you have a different kind of inlet. What is that?
    Also, takes about 3-4 weeks for the green grunge to set in and I have hard water stains. Any recommendations? I've scrubbed with a soft nylon brush

    @EzekielsCall Год назад +1

    Maybe a brush isn't the way to go to begin with.... I know, it's "easier" to clean something off with a scrubber, but clearly they
    did not put a durable finish on that urn... just paint. Hopefully the polyresin stone ones will be easier to keep clean without
    scrubbing off the finish.

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  Год назад +1

      True story-the paint comes off pretty easily. A tougher finish would be nice. On the bright side though it is easy to touch up…

    This is an excellent channel. I love the leaning against the wall pose at the beginning. "Hi, I didn't see you there" type thing. The shameless self-promotion with the graphics on the trailer. Nice touch. Your trailer looks organized. A meth head would have an easy time rummaging through it to find what he needs so that it can sit on the sidewalk of "that one house" on the street because he can't find anyone to hock it to and that's why I keep all my shit in a state of utter chaos. Where's my hammer? Let's get to the brass tax...
    Question:
    Is it okay to run cleaning vinegar through the fountain? The internets says sometimes. I subscribe u.

    • @KoiAddiction
      @KoiAddiction  3 года назад +1

      I have never used vinegar, no idea. Be very careful with the finish and if you scratch it just use spray paint or outdoor latex for touch ups!
