All Water Features Need Maintenance In The WinterWinter Pond Maintenance & caring for your pond in Bergen County New Jersey during the winter months can mean different things, depending on where you live. We offer winter pond maintenance, and pond cleaning service so your pond can enter ready for winter. If you’re fortunate enough like us to reside in the mild climate areas by the shore, simply removing your pond’s excess debris and adding Aquascape Activated Pond Carbon should set you up for the winter. If you live in the north, you may begin to see ice formation instead. This is what some of us in Alabama will see, and we’ll spend the next few months longingly viewing our ponds from indoors. During these frosty months, we recommend shutting your pond pump down. To shut your pond down, first unplug the pump, pull it out of the pond, and store it in a frost-free location, submerged in a bucket of water to keep the seals from drying out.

Pond Winterizing BasicsIn Bergen County New Jersey we sometimes experience long periods of exceptionally cold weather, the pump won’t be enough to keep a hole open in the ice, and you’ll want to consider adding a floating Aquascape Pond De-icer. Controlled by a thermostat, the unit only runs when the water temperature is at or below freezing, heating only the surrounding water to just above freezing, and then shutting off again.

The bottom line for winterization is maintenance. Roughly 70 percent of pond owners in the colder climates decide to shut down their system because they don’t enjoy tending to their water garden during the bitter months of the winter. The aesthetic rewards of the winter pond are absolutely worthwhile, so by all means; don’t be afraid to keep the system running as long as possible. Shutting down a pond during winter is also an option. Just be sure you take precautionary measures to preserve fish, plant, and pump life.

Floating Heaters/Pond De-icerThe best thing you can do if you live in the cold climates of Northern New Jersey (Bergen County) is to incorporate a combination of the pump and floating deicer. Be sure to position them so the two units are not near each other, otherwise the Aquascape Pond De-icer will run continuously in order to heat the that water that’s constantly being circulated by the pump.
