Product Description

The Thermo Pond Perfect Climate Submersible Pond De-Icer is the first pond de-icer designed with all ponds in mind, both small and large. When used as a submersible, the Thermo Pond Perfect Climate Submersible Pond De-Icer is designed to keep open water in ponds up to 300 gallons, 18 inches deep or less. The de-icer is thermostatically controlled and all heating elements are enclosed so they will not harm or burn your pond liner. It also has inlets molded into the design so the heater can be used in tandem with air or water pumps to increase circulation. Thermo Pond Perfect Climate Submersible Pond De-Icer is not designed to be a submersible pond de-icer in ponds larger than 300 gallons. The best time to install your Thermo-Pond Perfect Climate Submersible Pond De-Icer is before your pond freezes over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Winter Pond De Icer, December 21, 2007

PondKeeper "PondKeeper" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews

I have a 70 Gallon Pond in my small backyard. I have NO KOI but all fantail goldfish ,from Black Moors to Lion Head Orandas all over two years old and over 5 to 7 inches in lenght. The fancy types I have cannot handle constant temps in the 30 to 40 degree range. The fish are way too large to bring indoors so that is not an option this year. This De-Icer keeps the ice from forming and water temp in the mid to high 40's and the fish are swimming about during the day. I recommend this De-Icer for small ponds especially those with fantail goldfish other hardy fancy types. DO NOT MIX KOI WITH FANTAILS, Koi Do not need any de-icing but a small airator (bubbles)to keep the ice from forming a complete sheet over the pond traping poisonious gases.

I bought this to keep my 200 gallon pond free of ice this winter, as it said that it kept an entire 300 gallon pond of ice. Isn't actually the case; as the temperature goes down, it narrows down to a small hole, and it works best in conjunction with a pump. However, it appears to be extremely energy efficient, which is of course why it only keeps part of the pond open, so it's a very good trade-off. I'm in Wisconsin and we're starting off with a fairly cold and nasty winter, and it's keeping my little pond open for the birds and the critters beautifully. All in all, very happy I purchased it and definitely recommend.

This heater used very little electricity and kept my goldfish alive all winter. I am very impressed!
