Yes, I use 2 small pond heaters that I put in front of the intake/filter/pump basket so that the water there doessn't freeze. The water is then pushed through a 2" buried tubing that fills the waterfall basket at the other end. I could just take the pump out & let it freeze on top. I've been told that only about the top 4" of water would freeze but I find that hard to believe since when we had an above ground pool 4ft. deep I was able to walk on top of it!

I used some old carpet padding, then a felt liner and then a thick rubber liner. The pond is about 4 yrs. old now.
