Protect liners from ice

Ponds with rigid concrete liners can be damaged by ice. When the water freezes, it expands putting pressure on the liner at the sides of the pond – eventually causing it to crack. You can prevent this by floating a inflatable balls on the surface so that the ball absorbs much of the pressure exerted by the expanding ice.
