Winter Waterfall Pump
Is it safe to leave the pump in the skimmer for the winter? We are in zone
5 with a very rare drop to -25 below on occasion. Thanx Pixi |
Pixi,
If the ice gets thick enough that water won't flow into the skimmer, then I would not leave the pump in the skimmer. If the pump stays out, then I think it should be kept running to prevent ice damage to the impeller and pump housing. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "pixi" wrote in message ...
