What to do with Your Pond Fountain in Winter
Often, backyard pond fountains are on timers that make them run at the appropriate times throughout the year, but winter is a different story. To protect your fountain’s motor, it is important to take proper steps at winterizing or storing pond fountain parts so that they provide you with backyard aesthetics year after year.

Examine equipment
With the end of the year comes a great opportunity to examine your pond equipment. Pond fountains may have buildup on them that can be removed, but the electronics involved with them such as power cables and motors should also be checked for any accidental damage. This ensures all your parts are always kept in the best condition, as you service anything that has issues each year.
Great Lakes Pondscapes can assist any homeowner with their pond needs. From providing professional guidance on how to best take care of your unique pond to recommendations on what equipment to use to replace any that you have that has gotten damaged, we’re here to help.
Removal options
If you do not run your pump throughout the winter, then we recommend removing the pump from your pond fountain and storing it in a warm location. When in operation and creating motion within the water, the pump is safe from freezing, but with water standing still, it will freeze in place, like the rest of the pond, and potentially face damage because of it.
Whether you need professional assistance on removing your pond pump or want to replace one that has been damaged by the cold, Great Lakes Pondscapes can help. We do everything we can to best serve our customers, and we’ll help you to take care of your backyard pond the right way, every time.
As temperatures stay low and we really get into the full swing of winter, make sure your pond fountain is best taken care of with the experts at Great Lakes Pondscapes.
