Winterizing done... Finally

[Marshall]

Finished up with winterizing the pond and the rescue building for cold weather. The stock tank was pretty easy because it has a cleaning assist built in bu the pond is another story I cleaned all the decayed material from the bottom of the koi pond and reset the liner to make sure it was secure and not in any bind anywhere. Cleaned all the pre-filters on my pumps as well as flushed out all the lines. Also tested the emergency water heating system which is a good thing because it failed the first time due to air in one of the valves causing it to vapor lock. I got all the air out and primed the system and it worked perfectly all 4 test runs so I think I am officially ready for winter
PS: It has been storming all day so that's why the images are dark and gloomy.
