The first day of winter may not be until the 21st of December, but frost is already a common sight during the night and morning hours. Before you know it, ponds will be freezing over. Most will choose to shut down their ponds and water features during the winter months, however water with fish in it will require a little extra attention. To avoid dead aquatic life come spring, consider offering your customers a Pond De-Icer from Atlantic Water Gardens.

According to Atlantic Water Gardens the Pond de-icers maintain a hole in ice to allow the exchange of oxygen and other gases in winter conditions. The Pond De-Icer allows oxygen to diffuse into pond water otherwise sealed off by ice, while toxic carbon dixode and methane from decomposing organics diffuse out. Atlantic’s Pond De-Icer is constructed of high strength and high temperature PPS polymer for incredible durabilty under the most adverse conditions. Internal thermostat turns heater on just above freezing and off as water warms for fully automatic operation. Indicator light shines blue to show the De-icer is in standby mode when plugged in with water temperature above freezing. Indicator light shines green to show water temperature is below freezing and De-icer is in operation. Efficient heating element only draws 300 watts when needed to keep operating costs low.
