We are in southern Ontario and although it has been above freezing there
is still a risk of snow on any given day. Is it still safe to turn on the
BIO and put in the plants (hardy water lilies)?

====================
I turn my pumps an filters on when the water gets above 50F. If it drops
back into the mid 40s I'll shut it off. Sine there isn't much bio activity
I don't find they get smelly after being off when it's in the 40s. I leave
my hardy lilies out all winter with no problems at all.
