K&H Perfect Climate Deluxe Pond De-Icer

I have tried a lot of heaters/ de-icers, including trough heaters. All were similar in wattage. Most did not work well or were unreliable. I have used this one for the last 2 winters and not only did it work great, it kept a wide area open except in very cold with high wind. Even then it kept the immediate area open. Their guide was very helpful, I bought the wattage they suggested for my zone (N. IL). I am buying another one now as a back-up, in case I can't find it later. I use it with a thermo cube to cut down on unnecessary running.

We have a small garden pond which we like to keep open in the winter so that birds and wildlife will have a place to drink. Since we installed our new pond heater we have had weeks of sub-freezing weather and one heavy snowstorm. The pond is staying open and we are very pleased with the performance of the heater.

I installed this heater in my very small pond the day I received it. The next morning I felt the water and the water was very cold. With that, I assumed the heater didn't work and I returned it, and gave it a bad review. I placed another order and when it arrived I plugged it in right away inside the house, and again nothing. I said this can't be happening again. I took a piece of ice and placed it on the metal rod, and the ice began to melt immediately. That's when I realized that this product is not a heater, it's a de-icer. The heating element does not kick on until the water begins to freeze. Last night here in Chicago we got some frost. I looked out the window and all my little goldfish were inside the the circle of the floater. I ran outside in a panic, thinking they were all dead but they were obviously hanging there to keep warm and when they saw me they scurried. I believe this product works fine so far but I won't know for sure until the pond actually freezes. Anyway, don't expect this heater to warm the water in the pond. It is not designed to do that. It is actually a de-icer.

I have a small pond and this keeps it ice free with no problem. So far our Michigan weather hasn't been awful. It has been in the teens with a few single digit days. The pond is clear. No problems.

The product works well, but the chart suggested 250W for my pond and at the recommended temperatures, it is not keeping a hole clear on the surface. If in doubt between two choices, consider the higher wattage unit for your pond.
