Editorial Reviews:
|
* This is the first and still the best pond de-icer on the market * It works in all types of backyard ponds from 50-600 gallons * The 1250 watt, thermostatically controlled heater works automatically during freezing temperatures to keep a vent hole open in the ice. * This allows the harmful gasses caused by plant decay and fish waste to escape * Its cast aluminum design is very durable and efficient and works well in sub zero temperatures * This de-icer has a 10' power cord and comes with a 3 year warranty

Summary: Floating pond heater
Comment: I was glad to find this because my local Wild Birds had quit carrying it. I had had two fail (GFI trip)previously. The newest one ordered through Amazon failed after a couple of months. I was using it to deice a small preformed outdoor fish pond. I do not recommend this based on three failure in the last several years. I now use an aquarium air pump which is in the garage. I run a 40 foot airline to the pond and let the bubbles keep a hole in the ice. We are in garden zone 6 so this may not work for you.

Summary: So far, so good!
Comment: I bought this heater after our small goldfish pond froze pretty solid in mid-November (way too early for a Connecticut freeze). Heater arrived within a few days and was easy to install since the pond had fortunately thawed enough by then to place the unit in a small space near the edge where the ice was thin. By next morning I was extremely happy to see a pretty large ice-free area around the heater, despite sub-freezing temperatures. About a week later with warmer weather I counted my goldfish and all had survived and seemed to be happily congregating nearby the heater. It's been a month now and all is well with this heater. It seems like a pretty good quality product.

Summary: BEWARE of Amazon's third party sales
Comment: I ordered this item because of its great reviews, but unfortunately never received it. This is not a review of the product, but of Amazon's poor customer support when it comes from purchases that they list as 'third party'.
I have been ordering from Amazon for seven years and have always been impressed with their customer support. But after calling to find out why I had still not received my order, I was told by their new call center in the Philippines that I would have to contact the third party directly. They also said they have no control over any part of that transaction and need to contact the seller (which I thought I was doing when I called Amazon).
I won't order from Amazon again until they bring back the customer support they were known for. In the mean time all I have to be concerned with is all my personal information being lost or stolen from some third party company located somewhere in the South Seas.
