When necessary remove and clean the net
and mat located in the skimmer. If the water
level, where the pump is located, is lower than
the water level in the pond than the skimmer mat
and net need to be cleaned. This typically needs
to be done every 10-14 days but will vary depending
on the amount of debris falling into the pond, sh
load, and feeding regimen.
Winter Maintenance: Remove pump in climates
that have prolonged freezing periods, then store
the pump in a bucket of water where it can not
freeze. This will help keep the pump seals from
drying out. Rinse out your media mat and net and
store for the winter.
Usually once per year you should remove the
lter media located in your waterfall box and clean
thoroughly to remove the debris that has collected
over time. This should only be done when water
temperatures are coldest or below 50 degrees.
Clean and rinse the media using water collected
from the pond when possible. Chlorinated tap water
can kill the benecial bacteria living on the media.
If you are not using the Blue Thumb Automatic
Fill Valve then you will need to occassionally
replace any evaporated water. This can be done
using a garden hose. If you are using tap water
that contains chlorine and you have sh then be
sure to add Blue Thumb’s Purify to the pond as
you add water. Add water until the water level
reaches to within 3/4” - 1” below the opening of
the skimmer box.
Reconnect your pump and re-install any media that
was removed for winter storage. It is generally a
good idea to drain the pond and clean any debris
that has accumulated out each spring.
