I had the same question for Ingrid. I believe she said that she was turning
off her waterfall, as the exposure to the cool night air would cool the
pond. I would imagine the fountain would be even worse. I was thinking of
leaving the pump running just under the surface with the fountain head
removed. This would still provide some aeration, but would not have the same
cooling effect.
