I attended a fantastic seminar at Aquatic Connections in Trevose PA (near Philadelphia) last Saturday on the subject of winterization. Terrible word, but there’s nothing better. George gives a great presentation, very clear and full of humor. He takes every piece of equipment apart so that the audience can see how the gear works. He responds to every question completely differentiates between small and large ponds. George even provided a handout to take home.
Aquatic Connections has a friendly, knowledgeable staff and a great selection of accessories. They quarantine their fish and rotate what they have on hand. Give them a call or an email if you are in the Philly area, and they will tell you what they have on hand at any given time.

I have attached a copy of his excellent advice. Most of it pertains to large ponds, but there is much for all ponders to ponder and act upon. It may feel like summer right now, but cool weather is around the corner.
