Browse Forums Outdoor Living 1 Apr 24, 2009 10:10 pm Hi all, I have a stone pillar sort of water feature, the water trickles from the top down to the resevoir at the bottom.. Just wondering the best way to go about cleaning it?.. the pillar is covered in slimy algae and the resevoir is looking pretty yuck also.. I think the water flow has slowed as a result of this (algae growing in pipes etc???) Is there something to you can buy to flush the system or do i need to remove the pipes and manually clean them out? I will empty the resevoir and thoroughly scrub it out - and the pillar also. Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Re: Water feature cleaning advice please. 2Apr 24, 2009 10:15 pm There is a product you can purchase from water feature or fish pond suppliers.
