Most energy efficient. Keeps a portion of the garden pond free of ice down to - 4° F. The winter-design float is connected to a pump via a silicon hose that is suspended in the pond. It moves warmer water from the deeper zones of the pond and thus keeps the area around the float free of ice. This relieves the pond environment from excessive stresses due to gases from fermentation processes or lack of oxygen.
Features:
Keeps a circle of approximately 8 in. in diameter around the float free of ice down to -4° F.
Very energy efficient as only a small flow rate is required.
Does not disrupt temperature zones of the pond.
Guarantees gas exchange between the pond water and the atmosphere.
Additional Information:
16' Grounded power cord
54 Watts - 120 Volts/60hz
Flow Rate - 80 gph
Depth - 18" minimum
Pump should be placed under the ice and a minimum of 4-6" above the pond bottom.
