I thought the pump should run 24/7 year-round, if possible, so that gases
that build up under ice in a frozen pond can be released? I know that in my
teeny water garden, the pump is what keeps the whole thing from freezing
over (which should be fairly rare here in Raleigh, NC, but......)

Hi new guy, welcome aboard.......First off your pump should be running
24/7
as long as the water is above 40 and 50 degrees.
