Subject: Re: Winter time plans by Iain_clark on 15/9/2009 22:05:58 rubadub, I agree with most of the points that Fredrick has made, the only area where we differ is that I have my pump on a timer. In the Winter Months when the fish aren't feeding the pump just comes on for 15 mins every four hours (I use a manual timer where each little 'tab' is 15 min duration and you can set as many on's and off's as you want), this reduces electric bills, reduces wear on the pump but still cycles water through the filters regularly. I also turn off UV's etc. When the temperature is very cold I run the pump constantly to stop the pond from completely icing over. Hope this helps Iain |
