Winter doesn’t mean shutting down your koi pond or pondless waterfall. In fact, Arizona’s mild climate means you can enjoy your water feature all year with just a little seasonal maintenance.
Think of winter care as preventative upkeep. A few simple steps will keep your water crystal clear, your pump running smoothly, and your pond or Aquascape fountainscape ready to shine.
Step 1: Keep It Running
Unlike colder climates, there’s no need to drain or cover your pond in Arizona. Let your Aquascape pump run! Water circulation prevents stagnation, adds oxygen for fish, and keeps your water sparkling.
If you have a pondless waterfall, continuous flow helps keep the basin clean and prevents buildup in the underground reservoir.
Step 2: Stay Ahead of Debris
Even desert yards see leaves and dust in winter. Skim your pond weekly or install an Aquascape automatic skimmer to make it effortless. Removing surface debris keeps filters from clogging and improves water clarity.
Step 3: Light It Up
Winter evenings are long, and your pond or waterfall deserves to shine! Add Aquascape LED pond lighting for soft, ambient glow. Warm tones bring out the color of rocks, plants, and moving water making your outdoor space inviting even after dark.
Step 4: Check Your Equipment
Perform a quick inspection of your pond pump, filters, and skimmers. Replace worn pads, remove sludge from intakes, and confirm that cords are sealed and safe.
Winter is also a great time to upgrade to an energy-efficient Aquascape Smart Control Pump.
Step 5: Relax and Enjoy
That’s it! With these simple steps, your water feature will keep flowing smoothly all season long. You can enjoy the tranquil sound of moving water while your neighbors are still covering their pools.
