I noticed that my pond has frozen over. It typically never does as I have my aerator still running at night. I found out that I need to replace the vanes in my pump. The issue is it will take over a week to get the replacements. My question is, once I have the pump fixed should I go head and start the pump and hopefully create a hole? One issue is that I neglected to move the diffuser to shallow water last fall. I have left it in deep water over winter before with no issues. It would typically keep an open spot in the ice.
Thanks
