Storm prep

[capewind]

Was just reading misc conversations, and noticed a new member asked about draining their pond a bit for storm prep, and no responses. I didnt plan on doing any draining, but curious what others did when getting hit with a healthy rain and wind storm.

to the pond nothing, it has the ability to overflow

Did a cleaning of filters this week and did not top off ponds completely.

Ours has the ability to safely overflow too... God knows the garden hose has been forgotten (ON) a time or two (or many LOL). I just felt bad seeing a new member post and get no response. Every situation is different, so didnt want to just say we are doing nothing.

yes same here we have a run off on our pond that when it over tops what used to be the inflow of our pond now the other way around turning the overflow pipe as a sort of rudimentary skimmer of sorts it ovr flows and runs straight to drain with no problem .
