bronze fountain spitter

Posted by teppy (My Page) on

can anyone tell me some kind of chemical that is safe to use for keeping my fountain water clear that will not harm my bronze spitter? I use clorox in one of my fountains that has a concrete statue, but I know that I cannot do that in the one with the broze in it. I've heard someone tell me to use "Fountec". I'm just not sure about it because it does not say anything about using with bronze statues.

RE: bronze fountain spitter

I'm wondering if you can use Bromine? It is recommended for spas as an alternative to chlorine. I believe it is milder than chlorine, but if my memory serves, dissipates faster due to the sun's magic rays. You may want to call a local pool company. They are extremely well versed in what chemicals to use in different applications and would definitely know which chemicals will and will not affect your bronze. They can also advise you on how to maintain the proper chemical levels such as ph. You can take a sample in and they will test it for free. A Google search couldn't hurt either.

Is there a bronze fountain anywhere in town? If so, call the Public Works department if it is a community one, or the building maintenance supervisor, and ask them what they use, maybe they can help.

Good luck!

I'm interested in a bronze fountain spitter for my swimming pool, just what does the chlorine do to bronze? This is really disappointing to hear.
