Common malfunctions and maintenance methods of water curtain walls (commonly known as water feature walls, flowing water walls, flowing landscape walls, water walls):
Fault problem one: Uneven or intermittent water flow in the water curtain wall
Possible cause: Water pump malfunction: Damage or blockage of the water pump impeller. Pipe blockage: Impurities accumulate in the water, causing narrowing or blockage inside the pipe. Insufficient water level: The water level in the storage tank of the water curtain wall is too low. Repair method: Check the water pump. If there is damage or insufficient power, replace or repair the water pump. Cleaning water pipes can be done by using pipeline dredging tools or chemical cleaning agents to remove blockages. Ensure that the water level in the storage tank is within the normal range and replenish enough water.
Fault problem 2: Water curtain wall leakage
Possible reasons: Aging or damage of sealing components: The sealant, sealing ring, etc. at the connection of the water curtain wall have aged and broken. Loose water pipe interface: The water pipe connection is not securely fastened. Wall cracks: Cracks appear on the wall where the water curtain wall is installed. Repair method: Replace aging or damaged seals and reapply sealant. Tighten the water pipe interface and reconnect it if necessary. Repair wall cracks and perform waterproofing treatment.
Fault problem three: The water quality of the water curtain wall deteriorates
Possible reason: Lack of filtration system: Impurities and pollutants in the water cannot be effectively filtered. Long term non replacement of water: Failure to replace water for a long time can breed bacteria and algae. Maintenance method: Install a suitable filtration system and regularly clean or replace the filter element. Regularly replace the water in the water curtain wall to maintain clean water quality.
Fault problem four: The water curtain wall light is not on
Possible cause: bulb damage: bulb lifespan expired or damaged by external forces. Circuit malfunction: Short circuit, open circuit or poor contact of wires. Power issue: Power adapter failure or unstable power supply. Repair method: Replace the damaged light bulb. Check the circuit, repair short circuits, open circuits, or reconnect areas with poor contact. Replace the faulty power adapter to ensure stable power supply.
Problem 5: Excessive noise from the water curtain wall
Possible cause: Water pump resonance: The water pump is installed unstably and resonates with surrounding objects. Water flow impact: If the water flow speed is too fast or the direction is unreasonable, the impact will produce noise. Repair method: Stabilize the installation of the water pump and add cushioning devices such as shock pads. Adjust the water flow velocity and direction, reduce impact by changing the layout of water pipes or installing diversion devices.
Fault problem six: Surface stains or scale on the water curtain wall
Possible reason: Mineral deposition in water: Minerals in hard water deposit on the surface of the water curtain wall. Accumulation of dust and dirt: Long term uncleanliness. Repair method: Use specialized cleaning agents to remove scale and mineral deposits. Regularly wipe the surface of the water curtain wall with a soft damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
When repairing water curtain walls, be sure to turn off the power and water sources first to ensure safe operation. If the problem is complex or cannot be solved by oneself, it is recommended to seek professional help from Yipin Waterscape.
