Prepare for winterization in mid-to-late November, or when ice persistently develops on the pond. Keep
equipment winterized until late February or early March when the water temperature rises to 40º F or
higher consistently.
If the pond is to be shut down in Winter:
1) Disconnect UV Clarifiers and store indoors.
2) Disconnect submersible pump, clean and store in a dry place.
3) Drain any plumbing lines not buried below frost line (18”-24” in agricultural
zones 4-6).
4) Use plumber’s heat tape on pipes and shut off valves. Insulate the pump
house and exterior pumps and valves.
5) Remove and thoroughly clean filter mat & media. Drain Livingponds Filter.
Winterization
Maintenance
Under normal operating conditions this filter will provide years of trouble-free use. This filter includes two
medium density filter pads and a highly porous ceramic media which requires periodic maintenance to
keep your pond looking its best.
Cleaning Instructions
Check and clean filter media when the media appears dirty or when the flow of water decreases.
1) Shake ceramic media and filter mat to dislodge debris.
2) Rinse filter media in a bucket of clean pond water. Avoid using tap water, chlorinated water,
soaps or chemicals as this can kill the beneficial organisms living on the media.
