Editorial Review:
* 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
