I put the winter cover over our pond this week - to keep the leaves out, and I have a fear that if it freezes over the cat will think she can walk on thin ice......  Don't give up your fight against the duck weed guys.... |

Oh no grindle! Do you have a pump and separate filter or are they combined? |

Sometimes they get very clogged up and need cleaning out. happened to mine and also tripped the fuse so worth a check on both counts grindle I don't think the shelf life is all that long as I've replaced mine twice in the last ten years. |

Our pump running 24/7 52 weeks @rita That could be why it doesn't last long. My combined pump/filter comes out in the winter as it's not supposed to be run when the water starts to freeze. Best for the fish that the water isn't being circulated and super chilled. This way my pond will be relatively warmer at the bottom where the fish over winter. |

we seldom get frozen here as its similar to Cornwall climate but when it does the outflow from the filter keeps that area ice free.
