Hi, I’m a bit new to this so apologies, I bought a solar pump with filter and fountain this spring, question is, should I take it out for the winter or leave it running? I’m on the south coast of the uk, so it doesn’t freeze much here, occasionally it will go to minus 2 or 3 but not usually for long.
should I take it out around November time and put it back in in the early spring?

If it quits running, it could freeze up and Crack.
Really depends on your weather.

I pull our external pump, shut all off for the winter. We do get snow and ice off and on.

I think if it was mine I would take it out just to be safe.
