Blagdon Affinity Ice Vent Pond Heater
The Blagdon Affinity Ice Vent Pond Heater is a floating 50 watt pond heater suitable for ponds up to 5000 litres and, once installed, will help keep an area of pond surface free from ice (down to -10°C). The unique low wattage, convection design means the heater only requires minimal energy. The sleeve surrounding the heater element helps create a flow of water past the element, increasing its effectiveness, whilst protecting anything in the pond from coming into contact with the hot surface.
Although fish become inactive (torpor) when the pond water temperature drops low enough, they still breathe and so still need oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. If the pond freezes over, it stops gas exchange, meaning no oxygen will get into the pond and the harmful gases will be trapped. Because of this, it is vital to keep an area of the pond free from ice. You shouldn't smash ice or pour poor boiling water on it to melt it; both of these can cause health issues for your fish. As the Blagdon Affinity Ice Vent Pond Heater only consumes 50 watts it is a relatively cost-effective way of preventing the pond from freezing over and keeping the oxygen supply available for your fish.
The Blagdon Affinity Ice Vent Pond Heater will keep an area of the pond surface free from ice; it will not heat the pond.
