Preparing Your Pond For Winter

The bottom line for winterization is maintenance. Roughly 70 percent of pond owners in the Wyomissing, Lancaster & Berks, Schuylkill , Lebanon, Chester Counties (PA) area decide to shut down their system because they don’t enjoy tending to their water garden during the bitter months of the winter. The aesthetic rewards of the winter pond are absolutely worthwhile, so by all means; don’t be afraid to keep the system running as long as possible. Shutting down a pond during winter is also an option. Just be sure you take precautionary measures to preserve fish, plant, and pump life.

​Simply removing your pond’s excess debris and adding Activated Pond Carbon  should set you up for the winter. Living in Pennsylvania you will begin to see ice formation. This is what most of us in in the area will see, and we’ll spend the next few months longingly viewing our ponds from indoors.

During these frosty months, you can either keep your pond running for the winter, or shut it down. To shut your pond down, first unplug the pump, pull it out of the pond, and store it in a frost-free location, submerged in a bucket of water to keep the seals from drying out.


What Else Do You Need For The WInter Months?

If your geographic area experiences long periods of exceptionally cold weather like here in Pennsylvania, the pump won’t be enough to keep a hole open in the ice, and you’ll want to consider stopping by and purchasing a floating Aquascape Pond De-icer. Controlled by a thermostat, the unit only runs when the water temperature is at or below freezing, heating only the surrounding water to just above freezing, and then shutting off again.

Keeping A Hole In The Ice Is Key To Overwintering Fish

The best thing you can do if you live in extremely cold climates is to incorporate a combination of the pump and floating deicer. Be sure to position them so the two units are not near each other, otherwise the Aquascape Pond De-icer will run continuously in order to heat the that water that’s constantly being circulated by the pump.
