Pond ClosingsFor winter, we take out all pumps and fountains from the pond, rinse them off and put them in a bucket of fresh water to keep the seals from drying out and cracking. The homeowner puts these items in their basement. Next we cut down all hardy water lilies 2-3′ above the base of the plant and cut down all hardy bog or marginal plants 2-3′ above the water level. Tropical plants can be brought inside for winter or treated as an annual and replaced each season. Then we try to remove as much of all the dead debris as we can such as plants or leave’s so that they will not break down and add harmful toxins to the water. When that is done, we rinse all the filter systems and store them in the homeowners shed or garage. The last steps we do is to add an air bubbler and pond heater to the pond to insure a hole is kept open in the ice for gasses to escape and oxygen levels stay stabilized in the pond, note: every heater and bubbler is matched to the size of the pond to small of a heater or bubbler will not do the job if we have a hard winter. Next we install the floating net riser built by Serenity Falls Water Features and install the leaf net which should be taken down just before the first snowfall.

We clean the filter and debris net from the skimmer fix any rocks that may have settled out of place.

Aquatic PlantsIn the spring and summer months your aquatic plants are a much needed source for added filtration in your pond but once fall and winter comes the decomposing plants can actually add unwanted toxins in the water so be sure to cut back all hardy aquatic plants in the pond 2-3″ above the water and cut your water lily pads and flowers close to the bottom of the pond as possible. If you live in freezing temperature zones like our area in Colorado Springs, Denver, El Paso County, or Jefferson County, Colorado (CO) area remove all tropical plants from the pond and either treat them as annuals and throw them away, or you may try to keep them in the house over winter.

Water Feature Fall ClosingsMake sure you remove as many leaves and debris out of the pond so they don’t decompose and create harmful toxic gases. If you have a skimmer and biofalls type system turn off pump and remove all filter media and clean. (do not remove pump or check valve at this step)
Before you remove your pump make sure to vacuum or pump out your filter box, reason being if you disconnect your check valve before you clean your filter box all the dirt and fish waste will run right back into the pond were you don’t want it. Next remove your pump and check valve, clean and store in a bucket of water and store it in a place where it won’t freeze. If you installed a net over the pond and there are no more leaves falling remove the net at this time. If the leaves have not fallen all the way yet you may put the net back on after you install the bubbler and deicer but make sure to remove before the first snow fall. Then install your bubbler and deicer. This tip is very important (make sure to purchase the right size bubbler and deicer for your size pond) if you undersize your equipment and have a larger pond you may have a hard time keeping a large enough hole in the ice if at all. If you need help with this please contact Serenity Falls Water Features and we will help get you the right size equipment need. |

Either once or twice a month a Serenity Falls Water Features service tech will come to home to make sure a hole is kept in the ice and a check of all equipment for functionality.
