This is my second Pond De-Icer, the first one lasted quite a few years and I noticed that the design has evolved, incorporating what I believe will lead to an even longer life. I start using them when the temperature may drop to freezing, setting it in the pond while the water is still accessible. The fish like to stay near it, the water lilies survive as well. My pond isn't very deep, 18” at most and this allows for fish and plants to survive Colorado cold.
I've tried other pond de-icers over the years and this one is the first that didn't give me any trouble at all. The others would trip the electrical switch all the time.
We don't have a fish pond, but it works great at keeping our above ground water tanks free from ice.
The de-icer worked well but because I'm in a border-line climate zone it left the pond water was a bit warmer than I would have liked. Tyne was very helpful in diagnosing the problem and replaced it with a lower power model which is working fine. I've contacted this company twice with questions on this product and they've been very responsive & helpful.
My new KH Perfect Climate Deluxe Pond De-icer worked great over the past few days. I live in NW North Carolina and we had a recent cold spell - down to 18 degrees. No ice in the pond. it was rated in our zone for up to 300 gallons. PS: the birds arre using it as a perch to drink from the pond!
so far so good, works great only uses one week.
Product works as described.
Junk - melted the cheap plastic housing - killed a number of my fish
The heating element remains about 3 inches below the surface and does not generate enough heat to keep the ice open above it. The cord location caused it to flip on its side and it became frozen in the ice. The overall design is poor. I replaced it with one that has a larger heating ring which has the electric cord coming from the top of the de-icer (which made it impossible to flip over).
I purchased the 1500 watt heater for my pond it was in use short of a month ,When I removed it from the pond to check it the the heating rods coming out of the ellament had rusted ( those should not rust ) and one couner of the rod had rusted thew ( it should not rust its made to be in the water and this took less than a month ) I will be returning it but hope I can get my money back as I do not feel safe putting it back in my pond !!!
