100 Watt Thermo-Pond 3.0 Pond De-Icer
Thermo-Pond 3.0 pond heaters / de-icers float on the surface of your pond, keeping a hole through the ice all winter long. Very energy efficient, the Thermo-Pond 3.0 heater uses only 100 watts of electricity. Other units can use as much as 1500 watts. That means huge savings on your electric bill!
Thermo-Pond heaters are thermostatically controlled to turn on when the water temperature falls below approximately 4 degrees C so they won't warm your pond. Unlike some other heaters, Thermo-Pond will never burn a pond liner or plastic pond. It naturally allows the pond to ice over while maintaining a hole through the ice. Allowing gas exchange that can help keep a healthier environment during the winter months
Features:
Installation:
Simply float the Thermo-Pond over the deepest part of the pond and plug it in. The unit will not become warm unless the pond water is cold enough (near freezing) to trigger the thermostat.
Body flukes (Gyrodactylus sp.) are a fairly common parasite found on pond fish. They do not lay eggs like gill flukes, instead they produce live young. They are found both on the gills and the body of fish.

Fall is ‘prime time’ for visits from herons. Starting in late summer, herons begin to migrate south where they spend the winter. They often make stops along the way in koi and goldfish ponds where your brightly coloured fish are easy targets.
