Q: Are backyard water features worth it?

• <div><p>Backyard water features can add serenity to your property, drown out neighborhood noise, and serve as a focal point to a stunning landscape design. In some cases, a properly installed and maintained water feature can add to your home&rsquo;s value. Just be sure to check with your insurance company before installation since some features may affect your premiums. </p></div>

Q: How do I stop algae from growing in my misters?

• <div><p>Algae growth is a common issue for misters, but you can do several things to prevent it. First, use a sealed water tank with distilled or filtered water to fuel your misters. Second, blow out the misters after every use so no water is left in the tubing. Third, thoroughly clean the misting system every several weeks of use at minimum during the warmest months. Third, wherever possible positioning tubing and the water tank away from direct sunlight and in the coolest areas possible.</p></div>

Q: Do natural pools get algae?

• <div><p>Yes, natural pools can get algae since they use the same filtration processes as lakes or streams. However, you can reduce the risk of algae by adding more algae-fighting plants and not installing your natural swimming pool in direct sunlight, as it promotes algae growth.</p></div>

Q: Do natural pools attract pests like mosquitoes?

• <div><p>Natural swimming pools are designed to deter pests, including mosquitoes. While any body of water can potentially attract pests, the natural filtration system keeps the water clean and constantly moving. Mosquitoes specifically are attracted to standing water, so the continuously circulating water in a natural pool makes it an inhospitable environment for them.</p></div>

I am very pleased with the bathroom and kitchen faucet installations performed by Joseph. He came out the same day that I had requested for services. He knew exactly what to do and completed the job in a professional and timely manner. I plan to use him for future plumbing needs.
