I have an OASE Nautilus 1600 gph pump that I hook up to a pre-filter every
spring to help clear/filter the water in my 3,000 gallon pond until my
biofalls filter kicks in. Then, I disconnect it and usually it sits on the
bottom of the pond until I pull it up and store it. I'm curious as to the
best way to store it and am seeking input from the group. Would you: 1) just
leave it in the pond until next year, 2) pull it out and store it on a
shelf, out of the elements until next year, 3) pull it out of the pond and
store it in a damp bag or bucket, or 4) some other way?

Just curious, the pump is about five years old and I'd like to keep using
it.

TIA

John
