Pond Heaters - Pond De-icer - Pond Deicer

Every time a cold winter storm blows through your pond is at risk of losing its ecosystem. A pond de icer acts as a breathing hole for you pond. Toxic gases, which are caused by organic waste breaking down, are allowed to escape and allows fresh oxygen to circulate through the water. If you have fish or other animals or plants in your pond they are at risk of dying through a winter kill. A breathable hole in the ice cover can allow for food, oxygen and even sunlight to get to the living organisms in the pond.

Selecting a Pond De Icer

There are a number of pond de icers on the market, so choosing the right one for your pond is important. Some are designed for larger ponds, up to 1,000 gallons, while others are for smaller ponds. Some pond de icers will float at the surface of the pond, creating a ventilated area where ever it floats. While others are submergable and often stay in one location, to keep a breathable hole in a certain location.
