API 8PB Pond Breather Heated Aerator, 40 Watts Review

It just did not work for me. The float kept tipping over in the water and there was a hose that went to nowhere. I returned it after my son fiddled with it in our backyard for 30 minutes.

Vent harmful gasses from your frozen pond with the Allied Precision Pond Breather. Harmful gasses from decomposing matter and accumulated fish waste can be trapped under the ice in your pond and can reach toxic levels, possibly harming your fish and plants if not allowed to escape. Rather than heating a hole in the ice, the revolutionary Pond Breather is designed to float in your pond, freeze into ice as thick as 15 inches, and move a steady stream of water above the ice layer where gas exchange can then occur. Operating on 120 volts and at an efficient 40 watts, the Pond Breather uses 31 times less energy than 1250 watt pond de-icers. Every 24 hours, the Pond Breather exposes 4,000 to 10,000 times more surface area of water than conventional heaters or de-icers. Supplying only enough heat to keep the water flow open, the Pond Breather creates a gentle current to move oxygen throughout your pond. Eliminate toxic gasses from your pond with the Allied Pond Breather.

Farm Innovators Heated Pond Saucer Model PS-200, 200-Watt Review

Farm Innovators Heated Pond Saucer Model PS-200, 200-Watt
Average Reviews:

Bought the unit, plugged it in and it worked great. It kept the ice from forming in the pond and my stream running through cold weather. The unit stopped working and a coil melted through the plastic. Customer service (800-277-8401) was called and they express shipped a new unit. Very friendly, great service. Hopefully the second unit will not fail.
Would recommend.

K&H Manufacturing Ultimate All-In-One Stock Tank De-Icer Removable Floater Ring Review

KandH Manufacturing Ultimate All-In-One Stock Tank De-Icer Removable Floater Ring
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought this for my 700 gallon pond after the Farm Innovators Heated Pond Saucer Model PS-200, 200-Watt deicer started to trip my GFI after only 2 months of use! (After taking that one from the water, could hear water slooshing around inside the disk.)
Seems like a good design because of the option to have it float or not, the 250 watt option and it's not a disk that will eventually leak in water.
I was leery of buying this because it said it is for a stock tank but the coils are surrounded so I don't see a way that it could damage a pond liner.
This one has kept the water open for the 1-2 months since I've bought it. I just hope I'm able to use it next year!

The new Farm Essentials line from K&H Manufacturing has reinvented the wheel when it comes to keeping fresh water available in the winter. Every K&H de-icer is safe in all stock tanks, unlike nearly all of the other de-icers available in the market today. No expensive shrouds or cages need be purchased either. Every one of our de-icers can be used as a floating de-icer out of the box or in seconds converts to a submersible de-icer with the click of a button. In the past, all that was readily available were energy gulping 1000 watt to 1500 watt de-icers; Customers had no choice but to purchase these expensive to run de-icers, even when they didn-foott need it. We-footve solved this problem by creating a whole line of de-icers along with a convenient zone chart for consumers to choose the correct de-icer, every time. A free cord safety clip is also included with every de-icer. This ingenious clip secures the de-icer to the edge of the stock tank, bucket or container to help prevent chewing, cribbing or removal of the de-icer from the tank. When it comes to fresh water, K&H Farm Essentials is the choice that makes cents.

Beckett 7060110 210 GPH Underwater Pump for Small Ponds, Fountains, Waterfalls Review

I am using this pump in a small pond with a small waterfall - it is a strong, hard-working pump and works just fine in this application. I wouldn't recommend it for a big pond, but for the smaller one it works great. My "pond" is only 2 ft X 4 ft and I don't have the pump turned all the way up to full force.

Pumping 210 gallons of water per hour, this small submersible water pump is great for filtering small ponds (filter not included), shooting water out fountains, birdbaths and more. Designed for underwater use, the pump features a 7.1-foot maximum pumping height for small fountains and waterfalls, and for smooth water circulation in small ponds. The spraying power is also great for pond art, as well as wide spraying over a small pool. The pump also features a direct drive, epoxy-encapsulated design for oil-free operation and little maintenance aside from the occasional filter cleaning at the screened inlet. The purchase includes a 20-foot power cord and is covered by a manufacturer 2-year warranty.

P418 POND FLOAT DEICER 1250W Review

P418 POND FLOAT DEICER 1250W
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have 100 gallon plastic in ground pond which is only 18" deep and is approximately 4'W x 7'L. Currently it's -6 below and none of the Pond has iced over. I see our fish directly under the heater when it's cold. I keep the water circulating 24/7 in the pond with a pond pump which also has a fountain head in the middle of the pond. Recently we had over 36" of snow and the pond was burried in a drift. There was a 9" or so portion of the pond that was kept open. Most of the pond was slush in the water but my fish came through it all with no problem. I think it was due to the combination of the circulating water and the heater as well. I would recommend this pond heater to anyone who has a plastic preformed pond. None of the pond has froze even in sub zero temps which I find amazing and I'm sure this Pond Heater has helped keep it Ice Free.
Update: 2/15/2009
Since this time I have had three of these things and I won't purchase another since they only last one season. In fact the last one I bought didn't last that long. When it works it works great but just not long enough for me to justify the purchase. I'm keeping my pond ICE free with the fountain with the head removed, and a waterfall just to keep the water circulating. I wish I could change the stars I gave originally but it won't let me.

ALLIED PRECISION 7621 FLOATING DE-ICER 1000 W Review

ALLIED PRECISION 7621 FLOATING DE-ICER 1000 W
Average Reviews:

The items arrived on time and in good shape. However, the ad says nothing about needing an optional guard to use it in a non-metallic pond(Who has a metal pond?). This had to be ordered separately from another retailer and this took another 2 weeks. I do not recommend this item if you must use it in a mall space as the guard is HUGE.

This de-icer is designed to float in the water tank and is thermostatically controlled with an automatic shut-off.The styrofoam float is completely enclosed within a rugged plastic housing. The cord exits from the top of the unit. This gives the heater added stability and it is less likely to tip the tank. 1000 watts, 120 volts with 6-foot cord for use in ponds.
