What To Do With Pond In Winter

[TBSam]

Ok so i live in Canada and winters here usually get to -20 c my pond has no fish and its 1 shovel head deep one side and two shovel heads deep on another side should i drain water remove pump or leave it?

With such a small pond, I would drain and remove the pump for the winter.

If you drain and remove the pump you will risk cracking the liner .Even rubber liners cannot take not having water in them .If it is preformed it will be even worse .

Remove the pump, leave the water is my humble opinion. I have a shallow deck pond, it freezes solid, All I do is remove the pump so it does not get damaged. I have a very small pump circulating the water in the deck pond.

I suggest you ask for clarification or further explanation in the same thread rather than starting a new thread next time.

Leave the water. Keep it full to protect the liner.

do you have plants? if so, what are your plans there?
First winter for me, so I'm a bit concerned they won't make it through the cold months
