Any problems with doing so? ~ jan > ------------ > Zone 7a, SE Washington State > Ponds: www.jjspond.us I have always done that - as long as it is deep enough not to freeze, it is better than letting the seals dry out and allow rust to start internally. If a pond isn't deep enough to leave it in, put it in a 5 gal pail of water and put it somewhere it won't freeze Gale :~)
