1250 Watt Floating Heater

Choosing a heater

When a layer of ice forms over the surface of you water garden, it essentially eliminates any transfer of air to or from your pond’s water. What this means to you is that, as debris decompose and your fish consume oxygen, byproducts are produced in the form of gasses that are toxic to your pond’s inhabitants. These gases are trapped under the ice and cannot escape; fresh air from outside the pond cannot reach the water either and so begins the process of the winter fish kill. Keeping a hole in the ice will allow the bad air in the pond to be replenished with good air. 

 Those of us that are in colder climates can add to our enjoyment of our koi or goldfish pond by using a pond heater in the winter months.  A pond heater will also help to keep your koi and goldfish healthier during the winter.  There are several options when it comes to choosing a pond heater.   An electric pond heater can offer more versatility.  This type of pond heater is easier to install and the submersible type of pond heater can be used to heat quarantine or hospital tanks during spring and summer. 

There are some important points you need to know about pond heaters.  Some things to consider are;

  • Ambient air temperature and how warm you want to keep the water
  • How to protect your system from heat loss
  • How much you can afford to spend on the pond heater and the monthly operational costs.

The deicer type of pond heaters usually only work to keep a hole in the ice by warming the water immediately around the deicer / heater and does little to actually heat the rest of the water.

To gain the most from your pond heater make sure that you protect your system as much as possible from heat loss.  The less heat lost, the lower cost and the more efficient your heating equipment will be.

 Keeping your water warm in the winter is the best way to keep your koi and goldfish healthy.  Even if only at 50 to 52 degrees a submersible pond heater will help keep your fish healthy all winter long.   Pond heaters can save countless losses over the winter.
