This is the beauty of a Bubbling Boulder. Unlike a pond or other
water feature, the maintenance is extremely low.
Fall Maintenance for Winter Climates
If you want to maintain your bubbler yourself, then the
following directions will apply for temperatures that allow freezing to occur.
- Disconnect
electric pump plug from outlet.
- Follow cord to bubbler, and remove rocks or flat
stone to reach opening for pump.
- Lift up hose. Take a screwdriver and disconnect
pump. Note: Pump out water if you have a Bubbling Boulder Basin.
- Use
a 5 gallon bucket. Fill with water and place pump in bucket. Be sure to store in a basement, or wherever it will not
freeze. Check bucket to make sure pump is submersed in water through out the winter season.
- During hot season: add water when bubbler is low. We also can hook directly to your outside hookup with a float.
If you have the good fortune to be in a climate that does not freeze, then just add water periodically.
You will be able to tell when the water is getting low, as your Bubbler will not bubble as high.
