Calgary's cold winters can cause serious damage if your pond isn't properly shut down. Ice expansion, freezing pipes and trapped gases can all lead to cracked liners, broken equipment and fish loss. Proper winterization prevents costly repairs and gives you peace of mind all winter long.

A well-prepared pond also makes spring startup faster, easier and less expensive.
