Sory to hear of your loss! It does happen. I hope this incident will not take the wind out of your sails so to speak and discourage you. reach down inside and use the incident to encourage you to take positive steps to avoid it next time. A stainless steel hose clamp or two, a way to have the pump input run dry before the pond does. I commend you for having declor on hand. you would be surprised how many are not even prepared
to have something on the shelf. Thanks for bringing this subject up even tho your "tender" about it. maybe it will give others something to think about and prepare for so it doesn't happen to them. take consolation in knowing that if you have koi for any length of time things will happen. Just hang in there and move on....
