I have been filling with water from my pool and that seems to be working well. I was using water from the hose at first and the algae was accumulating very quickly. The top part is very shallow and in the hot southern Florida sun is heating up very quickly and the rocks get very warm as well. Since adding the pool water (daily if you can believe) the green algae is gone. Other than having to fill daily this fountain is fairly hassle free so far. Again, thanks for the comments and interest in my little fountain project.
