Better winter pic than I would have. Guess I'm going to have to go out and take a couple. I ordered a de-icer early this morning should be here tomorrow. Mine is almost solid ice except for where I have the pumps bubbling, and it seems to be getting smaller. I've never had to use a de-icer. Sure we get ice on it, but nothing like this. Last night we were stressing, I finally thought about a spare pump I had and we put that down in the hole as well. So far, so good till the de-icer comes.
(Also, order a dog water bowl with a de-icer built it. I bring him in, but he would rather be outside (silly dog) have a hard time keeping him with water. This should fix that problem.
