Woke up this morning to a wintery blast of ice cold air and snow. Wind is blowing at 20 up to 40 mph. With the wind chill it is well below zero. Happy to say the pond stayed open all night.


The pump is a Schuco, but that's all the information that's on the pump. I added an intake filter jar after the freeze up to help keep the line clear of dirt. It only had a small paper inlet filter before. The thing in the plastic bag is the water pump timer that I use in the spring and summer to spray water on the pond for aeration.

Here are the photos of the setup and well house.




It's to brutel out to add the release valve today, so it will have to wait.
