    water for ducks in winter???

    Ok so what i see from your thread your drain is closed and the pump sets on top? does yours run 24/7? and how much silt and dirt does your collect? i used an actual sump pump and my new pump and both only got the small stuff so there were still small gravel like silt in the bottom and mine is...

    water for ducks in winter???

    Thanks, my pond is approximately 605.9 gallons so the 330gph pump isn't doing to much, just circulating the water. but theoretically it pumps the whole pond every 1 hour 48 minutes.

I have the stock tank deicers but there wore out and im afraid that they will electrocute them so before i go out and buy another i was...
