September 30, 2015How Much Does Holiday Lighting Installation Cost?
October 8, 2015A beautiful pond is what every pond owner wants to achieve. In order to make sure your pond and fish are properly taken care of for winter there are a few things that need to be done so your pond can have a successful start in spring.
- The pump needs to be disconnected and stored inside for the winter (the pump should be stored on a shelf and does not need to be stored in a bucket of water)
- Plants need to be trimmed back
- Aeration system installed on the first or second pond shelf (the aerator should be around 12 inches below water)
- Discontinue feeding fish when water temperature hits 50 degrees
- Install Pond Heater (pond heater should be installed next to the bubbles where the aerator is)
- Net should be installed in late September or beginning of October to make sure leaves do not overtake the pond (net can be removed after leaves have fallen)
- Pond should be cleaned before winter, including cleaning of the skimmers and biofalls
This is just a quick list to follow to make sure your pond is cleaned and ready for winter.
