My new house has a water fountain in the back yard on a timer, i've never had one before. Does anyone know what your suppose to do to protect a fountain pump from freezing besides removing all of the water? I don't know, maybe that's not good either! Any advise?

The fountain is about 7 feet high and the bottom pool is about 8 feet through the middle.

when I first bought the house, I thought what were they thinking, but it grows on you, now I couldn't imagine it not there.

Drain all water from source , evacuate water inlets and outlets and cover with windbreaker material . No water , No ice , No breaking. If you can you could put somekind of solution of antifreeze from a pond store in before covering . It similsr to winterizing a tavel trailers water lines .

Remove the pump and all the water. Make it so that it won't fill up with rain somehow.
