Fountec is the most effective product now available for fountain treatment. It is non-hazardous, non-staining and non-foaming when using the recommended dosage. A small application lasts for a couple of weeks.
While we don't recommend your fountain as a drinking source for pets, the fact remains that it is hard to keep pets from drinking from it. As long as the product is used according to directions, it will not harm your pet. As with all chemicals, we recommend that you keep them out of reach of children and pets.

Although durable, protecting cast stone water fountains during winter is crucial to prevent damage from the freeze-thaw cycle that can occur in most states. Moisture trapped in water fountains can expand when frozen, leading to deterioration and cracks. For smaller outdoor fountains we highly recommend storing them indoors or in covered areas during freezing months. For larger outdoor fountains we recommend thoroughly drying and covering them with a waterproof cover. Regular maintenance and care can significantly extend the life of these decorative items..
