 Safe and effective November 2, 2006

I've used this for one season, in the Washington, DC area. We don't have a lot of cold weather, but we get down to 0 degrees occasionally. In a small pond with a rubber liner, I was concerned about a "toaster element" heater melting the liner. This heater kept a perfect round hole in the ice even when it got to 3 inches thick and the fish seemed to enjoy spending time under it. The trick with this thing seems to be that while it has a very large surface area (it's about 12 inches across) it has a small air hole at the top. This apparently lets out all the toxic gases, but manages to keep enough heat in to keep the full circle ice free. There's never any sense that the device is hot, but it always just floats freely with a quarter inch gap between it and the ice. I don't actually know for sure, but I suspect that it will work fine to considerably lower temps (they say they tested in -30 degree Wisconsin) and I'm sure it's not dependent on the size of the pond. That is, it won't freeze even if the pond is bigger. However, you might need additional units to handle extra gas from a larger pond. All in all, a very well constructed, simple, safe and satisfactory device.

We have had a very cold winter. In previous years we have been able to keep the pon open with our airator. We are very peased with the pond heater as it kept and opening for the airator. We have 20 very valuable Koi and we have kept them safe.
Great Pond De-icer November 3, 2006
Donna V. Roberts (Langhorne, PA United States)
I own 2 of these heaters (acutally de-icers), and have used them in my ponds for the past 5 years.
I have never had a problem with these de-icers and find them to be easy to operate, dependable and energy efficient.
Thrifty, good solution to Pond De-icing October 4, 2008
Mervin D. Hagen (ILL)
Last year (My 1st pond winter)I had bought a 200 watt ( considerably more expensive)De-icer thinking that size and cost was better. I bought this 100 watt unit on a lark, simply as a backup unit. Needless to say the more powerful unit failed within a month (sank to the bottom) and this thrifty unit just kept plugging away. Our Chicago land weather reached much to close to -20 degrees (Where I live is border line between zone 4 & 5) and This de-icer did just what it was suppose to do, Keep a hole in the ice so my fish stayed alive.
Just getting ready to order another unit (perhaps 2 just in case some of the other reviews are correct). At the cost and my past experience I cannot find anything but positive things to say about this product.
Great product November 25, 2008
Chicago User
It work perfectly. It is November in Chicago and my small outdoor pond was covered by a thin sheet of ice. I put the De-Icer on top of the ice sheet overnight. Wola!!! next morning there is a hole created by the De-Icer. Thank!
