I do have a specific question as well.
I am heated and reducing 1 degree a week ATM, and currently at 15.5 degrees, going to set at around 8 or 10 degrees and cover through winter
Due to heater kicking in every night I have been diverting past the shower (Clarity CL3 with K3 media)
As it is on the heater line, so seems pointless letting the heat go to waste in the shower.
I divert to the underwater return at night, and switch back on in the morning.
In the next couple of weeks I want to take the clarity off , give it a good clean and store for the winter.
What is the best thing to do with the media??
I can either give it a good wash and store it dry in the unit over winter, which means maturing again in the spring , or is it worth hanging it in a bag in the pond to maybe give it a head start in the spring.
Or will this just give a possible area for a build up of crud and nasties???
Any ideas?
