It may depend on your climate zone and the size of the pond. I have a small tub pond, prolly 30 inches tall by 34 wide. I leave the pump on til we get a really hard freeze. Then it seems cruel to be pumping the warmth out of the water and I turn it off.
Generally, I only have a few days where the pond is frozen over totally. Somehow the fish live; one of my goldfish lived for 10 years.
I live in Virginia.
