Taking Care of Your Pond in the Winter

The best way to take care of a frozen pond is to do a little research before it happens. this is where you will find out that it is ok when this happens. there are just things you need to know before it happens. for instance, as long as you keep a hole in the ice when it freezes over, your Koi will be fine. This can be accomplished with a bubbler or a pond deicer. you can order these items at Enchanted-Pond-Creations, Amazon, or find them at a pond store. either way, as long as you maintain a hole in your ice, your fish will survive. also, Koi can live without you feeding them in a pond that is frozen over, so don’t feed them. They can eat algae off the bottom if needed. Also, depending on how your pond is set up, you may have to turn your pump off so you don’t burn up you’re from lack of water movement or the pond pump pumping the water out of your pond because the top is frozen over. I have seen it empty the pond and the fish run out of water, it’s not pretty. So, keep these things in mind and it will all work out.
