He didn't actually mention aeration...

but it is
always better to suck the water out, remove the fish, clean the pond, put
the water back in,
put the fish back in. best is to clean the pond when the pond water is
SAME temp as
the water out of the spigot. Ingrid

Whether lack of oxygen will be a problem in any pond is related to
temperature and just how filthy you let it get in the first place.
Ideally, Andy's idea of continual cleaning is the least stressful to the
