as long as you arent running the filter over anything outside the pond that might
tend to cool the water too much, no reason not to keep the pump going. I have a
second, in pond filter I use in winter. I disconnect the pump from the veggie filter
and connect it to the in pond filter when temps begin to drop in fall. Ingrid

I hope someone can help me, I am new to pond fish keeping and wondering
if you keep the filter and fountain running all winter. I have read
several books but non say to keep it running. I have kept tropicals
and marines for years now but only dug the pond and stocked it this
year. I live in the North East of England.
