iced over pond
Finally turned on the bubbler this week
and today we have an iced over pond except for the area by the bubbler. Good for fish and frogs and for the birdies and squirrels that live in our huge pine tree. Snow on and off all week but no snow days or even delays for school much to the disappointment of the high school senior at our house. k :-) |

All the fish stopped eating now. They're ready for their winter's rest. The tanks behind the house will be shut down this week, filters cleaned and pumps put away. -- RM....

iced over pond
Can't see most of the pond due to the snow on the screens. Brought in bird
bath with pump so the weather doesn't ruin it, put out a large electric dog dish for the birds/squirrels. Wireless thermometer to the koi ponds is on the fritz, so don't know the temp unless I walk out to the filter and pull the one out of there and look.s ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

I pinched the line going from the remote unit to the bulb sensor with a staple while relocating it. I don't have the ice problem you guys share, but I did enjoy not having to walk outside to check the water temperature. Ambient temperature right now is 61F tomorrow morning is supposed to be down into the high 20's, so I might get a sliver of ice, but it is like a high school romance, doesn't last long here. I do miss the remote though. -- Hal Middle Georgia, Zone 8 http://tinyurl.com/2fxzcb |

Not to worry, it may be raining frogs there soon. ;-) From what my son has been reporting it will be cats and dogs, too. Also talked to dear daughter (they are both at the same university) and they have flooding in some of the campus buildings, which are on a hill! But they are surrounded by Lake Washington, the slew and the locks to the San Juan's. We may have to send a boat for them at Christmas! k :-) |

know which to avoid. Ingrid On Sun, 2 Dec 2007 05:13:08 CST, ~ jan wrote: Wireless thermometer to the koi ponds is on the fritz, so don't know the temp unless I walk out to the filter and pull the one out of there and look.s ~ jan |

It is an old model Springfield and may be 5 years old? Currently it is working, as we've warmed up, so I'm thinking DS needs to look at it. They now have a newer model out, I just wish it was easy to get the long wired sensor. I called the company, but haven't heard back yet. ~ jan Mine is made by Oregon Scientific and a long wired probe was shipped to me yesterday. Amazon.com has them listed by other companies that sell through them. I don't know if they would operate on the same frequencies, or with the Springfield inside unit. Will one of these work with your model? http://tinyurl.com/2hgahn -- Hal Middle Georgia, Zone 8 http://tinyurl.com/2fxzcb |

Last night though I happened to find another website with the same price, so I ordered 2 of the remotes, as my sister dropped hers in the pond. Unfortunately she didn't keep it, and tossed it and the wire in the garbage. She did keep the base station, so I'll send the new remote... and keep one for me for the wire. Figure I'd better do it now since it is the older unit and I expect they will phase them out shortly. Tx, Hal. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
