I've been lurking these forums for some time and am currently knee-deep in a backyard wildlife pond build (no fish). We built a large mound/berm to hold a gravel bog w/PVC manifold, which then waterfalls into the main pond. We've just got the liner down and are starting to think about filling/rocking/figuring out pump placement. We have pretty basic needs (move water from place A to place B) and are using an aquaforce 2700 pump that sits directly in the pond.
My question: we live in a cold place and will not be running the waterfall over the winter. What does that mean in terms of ensuring that our PVC bog manifold and the waterfall supply tubing isn't damaged? We know we need to take the pump out in the winter, but I'm less clear on how to deal with the rest of it and whether we should be placing it someplace that can be removed entirely or what.
All help appreciated.
