When should I turn my pond pump off for the winter?

• <div><p>When deciding whether or not to turn off your pump, you should consider your area’s climate and the aquatic life in your pond. If you live in an area with freezing winter temperatures and don’t have any wildlife, keeping your pump on could damage it. If you have aquatic life but live in a colder climate, you might consider keeping your pump running and adding a pond heater.</p></div>

Q: Should I leave water in my pond over the winter?

• <div><p>Even if you empty your pond before the winter, there&rsquo;s a good chance it will refill naturally. It&rsquo;s ideal in most cases, then, to leave water in your pond and winterize it instead. This method will prevent ice damage and protect wildlife. Plus, it&rsquo;ll lessen the steps required to reopen your pond in the spring.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a pond myself?

• <div><p>DIY kits exist, but professional installation ensures proper filtration, landscaping, and leak-proof construction.</p></div>

Q: How often should I change koi pond water?

• <div><p>A good rule of thumb is to change 5% to 15% of your koi pon&rsquo;s water every week. Partial water changes help keep your koi healthy, and replacing small amounts at a time prevents causing stress for the fish.</p></div>

Q: Can you make a fountain without a pump?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to make a fountain without a pump, though it may seem less intuitive and will require a bit more effort to use. In lieu of an electric pump, there are a few options including hand-cranked pumps or sprinkler systems that can work to provide water for a fountain.</p></div>
