PondMAX Fish Food has your fish covered, year round!

PondMAX Premium fish food offers specially formulated ingredients to create a high-quality and perfectly balanced nutritional diet. Quality food minimizes fish waste, which keeps ponds cleaner and fish
healthier.

  • PondMAX Staple Growth Diet Fish Food is a high-protein, low-carb food, and the high protein gives fish the ability to be very active during the summer months. It is recommended that this food be fed to fish when water temperatures are above 60°F. To get the best of both worlds, combine the Staple Growth Diet with the Color Enhancer Diet and you’ll have yourself a great all around summer food.
  • PondMAX Color Enhancer Diet Fish Food is made with the same great ingredients as the staple diet, but also includes spirulina and green vegetables to help brighten the color of your fish. It is recommended that this food be fed to fish when water temperatures are above 60°F. To get the best of both worlds, combine the Staple Growth Diet with the Color Enhancer Diet and you’ll have yourself a great all around summer food.
  • PondMAX Spring & Fall Wheat Germ Fish Food is a high-carb, low-protein food which helps build fat in your fish to prepare to go into winter or come out of winter. It is made of a high quality wheat germ which enables fish to easily digest the food when water temperatures are cooler in the Fall, Winter and Spring. It is recommended that this food be fed to fish when water temperatures are below 60°F.

Plus, PondMAX offers a battery operated automatic Fish Feeder is the perfect addition to release the desired fish food quantity as often as every 4 hours.

How To Clean Your Indoor Water Fountain

An indoor water fountain is a genius method to bring a little piece of nature into your home. Listening to the gentle burbling of flowing water and enjoying the benefits of the relaxing white noise can be low maintenance and aesthetically pleasing. You also only need to do a few simple things to clean your water fountain quickly, making maintenance easy.

Before doing any maintenance on your water fountain, unplug your fountain – Disconnecting the fountain completely from electricity is the best way to ensure you won’t have any shocking surprises during fountain maintenance.

Cleaning Your Indoor Fountain

After draining your fountain (either by pouring it out -or- using a spoon, cup, or vacuum for non-portable fountains), fill it with a mixture of water and white vinegar. Then let the fountain run with this solution for three or four hours to loosen mineral build-up. This will take some of the struggles out of cleaning.

If debris spots haven’t loosened after letting the fountain run, you can use a sponge or cloth to rub that dirt away. For holes and crevices, use a soft bristle brush. Once you’re done cleaning, dump out the solution and rinse the fountain well before filling it with clean distilled water.

Cleaning Dirty Parts

To thoroughly clean dirty hoses, pumps, and other removable parts, scrub them with a cloth or soft bristle brush to remove grime.

If stubborn grime persists, use a bathtub, sink, or large container, fill it with warm water and a ½ cup of bleach. Soak the parts in this solution for one or two hours before scrubbing again while wearing protective gear.

Tips and Tricks

Use Distilled Water

Distilled water is a form of purified water that has been boiled to remove impurities. Using distilled water in your indoor water fountain will keep hard water stains from forming and be easier on the mechanisms of your pump.

Keep the Pump Constantly Submerged

The fountain pump, usually found at the bottom of your fountain, will circulate the water, keeping it from stagnating. However, it can only circulate the water effectively if it is consistently properly submerged. So keep an eye on the water level, ensuring it is well past the minimum water level daily. A great way to simplify this is by keeping a jug of distilled water by the pump to top it up quickly when needed.

A Quick Clean for a Great Feature

While cleaning your indoor water fountain might seem like a chore, using simple tips and tricks can help prolong the life of your fountain, so you don’t have to clean it as often. For example, using distilled water and being aware of the water level will help you avoid cleaning too often, so you only have to worry about doing a deep clean of your fountain every four to six months. This will take some of the chore out of it, so you can focus on enjoying your indoor water feature!
