Newatt Pond Heater
This floating pond heater can be used in small ponds and for ponds up-to 54sq.ft. (Larger ponds will require two heaters spaced well apart) Pond heaters should be used during the winter months to ensure a small surface area of the pond remains free of ice.
Benefits of The Newatt Pond Heater
Made by the makers of the renowned Visitherm, the Newatt pond heater is designed for safe continuous use with the unique feature of a robust aluminium cylinder which allows all-round heat distribution, protected by a reinforced plastic casing to prevent thermal and mechanical shocks, making it virtually unbreakable.
When the heater is placed in the pond, the water surrounding the heating element will become warm; this makes the water rise up to the surface where it is dispersed by the float and so creating an area free of ice.
This area allows for the carbon dioxide, which is produced by the fish, to be release from the pond and also allows fresh oxygen back into the pond. Toxic gases can be potentially lethal when allowed to build up under the ice.
Good reason to buy a Pond Heater
It is not advisable to break the ice on the surface of a pond manually, as the shock waves may seriously harm pond life and fish.
Additional Benefits of using the Newatt Pond Heater Winter can be hard on wild birds as well as fish. The pond heater float has been specifically designed with perching areas where wild birds can feed and drink. If your pond is frozen it is likely that bird baths and other water supplies in your area are frozen too. Remember birds need to drink as well as eat.
