The Pondmaster 120 Watt De-icer has 120 watts of heating power, thermostatic control, double watertight seal, and will not harm flexible or preformed pools. It’s red so that you can easily locate the de-icer in your pond.
Where the threat of ice in winter is obvious, a pool heater should be considered. The aquatic life in your pond, especially the fish, cannot survive heavy ice buildup and noxious gases may be trapped.
An automatic thermostat senses the water temperature and turns on when the temperature of the water approaches freezing.
This will not harm pond liners or plastic ponds and does not need a pond guard.
Use one unit per 2000 gallons.
This has a protected heating element that does not need to be routinely cleaned with lime removing cleaners.

The Laguna 500 Watt Pond Deicer is designed to create a crucial vent hole in the ice at the pond’s surface, ensuring proper gas exchange. Constructed from durable stainless steel, this heater operates efficiently with 500 watts of power, making it ideal for harsh winter conditions. It features two thermo-sensors that monitor water temperature from various points within the unit, enhancing its performance in freezing temperatures. Safe for use with plastic or rubber liners, the heater also includes a bright LED light to signal its operational status. Additionally, it can be paired with an Aerator Kit or Air Pump to produce bubbles that help prevent ice formation on the surface. For safety, it is highly recommended to use a GFCI with any electrical device in a water garden pool. Tricker’s endorses the Laguna heater for northern winter climates, particularly in cities like Chicago, Cleveland, and New York, as well as in regions where severe winters lead to significant ice buildup.

If you live in an area where ice formation is a concern during winter, it is important to consider a pool heater. The Thermo Pond Pool Heater 3.0 is designed to float on the water’s surface and consumes only 100 watts of energy.
It has an automatic thermostat that activates when the water temperature nears freezing, ensuring a hole is maintained in the ice up to minus 20 degrees F. With a 12-foot power cord, it is suitable for extreme cold conditions and has been tested accordingly.
This pool heater is safe for pond liners and plastic ponds, eliminating the need for a pond guard. It is recommended to use one unit for every 1000 gallons of water, and its protected heating element does not require regular cleaning with lime removing cleaners.

This pond Laguna Heater De-Icer maintains a vent hole in the ice for gas exchange. It uses only 315 watts.
It has a LED light that glows when de-icer is functioning.
A 15-Watt heating element melts snow on contact.
The unit has a thermostatically controlled safety feature that will automatically turn off the heating element when the core unit reaches 34 degrees C or 93 degrees F. This unit also has a safety shut off within 90 seconds if the unit is out of the water.
It’s safe for plastic and liner ponds and will not harm fish and plants.
Two important options to consider:
- In climates with severe winter conditions the use of a Aerator Pump or Kit is recommended to use with the surface de-icer.
- Use of the manufacturer correct Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor (GFCI) can be added. GFCI should always be used with any electrical items around the water garden pool. If unsure, please call to discuss this safety.

Be safe with any electrical device used in your water garden pool. Ensure to have a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection. Do not confuse this with the standard circuit breakers we are all familiar with that is in our homes. This GFCI is designed to be used around water and moisture where electricity is most dangerous. GFCI are designed to sense a very small amount of electrical mismatch and react extremely quick in fractions of a second in cutting off the electricity. Thus, the reaction of the GFCI with electricity makes them very different than the familiar standard circuit breaker.
