Do I need to add chemicals or bacteria to my pond for the winter?

Green organic growth, like algae, will be much less likely to grow in water below 45 degrees. Combatting algae growth is usually the only reason that you'd need to introduce additional bacteria or chemicals into the water.

As temperatures start to drop, cold-weather bacteria will naturally take hold in your pond and take the place of warm water bacteria. It is almost never necessary to introduce additonal cold weather bacteria to your pond.
