What is the difference between a pond deicer and a pond heater ?
Often times in advertising you will find the term pond heater used for a pond de icer. In fact many customers search for the term pond heaters when they are really searching for a pond deicer. A true pond heater is a completely different type of product and is used to actually raise the temperature of your pond. These units are VERY expensive and may consume hundreds of dollars of electricity a month to operate. A pond heater is most often used by owners of exotic tropical fish. Goldfish and Koi will not benefit from hot tub warm water and you would not want to use a heater to raise the water temperature for these type fish. Some experts believe that the use of a pond heater on non tropical fish my interfere with their natural seasonal cycles and reduce their ability to fight off parasites and infections. The important thing to remember is to use a pond deicer for the release of gasses in your pond and a pond heater for the comfort of some kinds of exotic tropical fish. Thank you for y
