winterizing the filter

Can't Post

hi. first off i would like to say you guys are doing a really good job on helping people that keep koi and help the koi give the maximum results to their owner. ok. now here is my question. During the winter months, where it is cold where i live, the bio filter won't work anymore because the temperature will be too cold. in this case, how can i keep the amonia and nitrite level down? should i put in carbon and zeolite for the winter months? my second question. the outlet of my filter goes directly to a waterfall. and i heard that i should turn off waterfalls during cold months because it will disturb the fish during semi-hinbernation. is that true? but then how am i supposed to keep the filter running without through the waterfall? do i put the outlet directly into the water? if so. wouldn't the pressure of the outlet also disturb the fish? thank you for any comments to my questions.
