How to get rid of slime in table water fountain without expensive pills from exortic fountain companies?

Please share simple solution to getting rid of slime on water in a table fountain. I tried 1 tbl. spoon of vnagar. I did not see results. Is there any other house hold chemicals that one might try. The (6 pk) $20.00 pills did not stop the scum. They also did not work as the vendor advertised. The pills were also suppose to add a fragrance to the room. I am talking about scents liken to the flowers e.g. gardenia, pine ect. I did not notice any order. I think I bought a pig in the pork. Please help.

Run some CLR through it @ tbls to a cup of water
Reply:drain the unit and clean with water and bleach mixture. you might have to regularly do this to see results (once a week or so). standing water creates slime/mold that only routine maintenance will heal.
Reply:Empty out the old, probably stale, water and try dipping a cloth into a solution of water and a little Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking Powder?) and then rubbing that on the area that holds the water, as if you were cleaning the inside of a teacup.



The water feature sounds lovely, I'm sure you've chosen something to enhance your home ...
Reply:Why not just empty the water out, clean and then put back into use.

I would use a few drops of Clorox, it should kill any algae
deodorizers

    A few weeks ago I noticed the water in my fountain was a bit discolored. I didn’t think anything of it, but after a couple days I noticed that it got a whole lot worse so I knew I needed to have it checked. In my search for a repair service, I came across Miami Pool Tech and I hired them to handle the job. Their service was great and they take care of all your fountain problems.
