Mine is actually under the cover, which seemed like a good idea at
the time. It keeps the air pump warm, so there is less chance of the
diaphram freezing/cracking. But the boundry between warm air under
the cover and cooler air above the cover is causing serious
condensation on the pump. So far it has not killed it, but it was
soaking wet this morning.

I guess I had not considered the possibility of the pump under the
cover.

One of the other suggestions often made to keep bad gasses from
developing




My pump is outside the covered pond in another covered area away from any
wind chill, the pomp seems to be holding out.
