This will be my first winter so I am dabbling in ideas with keeping a
hole in the ice. Originally, I was going to use a bubbler but I am
trying something different and want some feedback. I have a small
filter box full of filter media and a small, tiny, little pump that
sits in side of it. I have it sitting in some shallows, and with the
pump plugged in, it is just powerful enough to splash water about 2-3
inches into the air. I am thinking this will do plenty. Any thoughts?
Should I take it out of the filter box so if that freezes, the pump
can still get water from the pond?

I tried a pump for several years but, no matter how hard I tried to keep
it from happening, it always built up an ice dam, then started running
water to places I didn't want/need it. I once ended up with about half
of my water frozen on top of the original ice layer whereupon it started
running out onto the ground. Get the bubbler.
