Question of The Week 12/16/2017

Brrrrrr! Bundle up as it's cold out there!

Question of the week:

Q: With the recent cold weather, should I turn off my water feature?

A: It depends on a few things.

How deep is the holding pond. Is the feature plastic, stone or ceramic?

If the holding pond to the water feature is at least 12-18” deep and you don’t mind replenishing the water as it freezes on the feature, leave it on.

I like to leave mine on during the winter and let the ice form “sculptures” but mine is stone. I would probably turn it off and drain it if it is made of plastic or ceramic as the ice may cause it to crack.
