Pond thermo heater/deicers are used to keep a small hole open in the ice during freezing conditions. This small hole allows potentially harmful gas to escape from the pond water. The gas is caused by decomposing leaves, dead algae, fish waste, etc. and will become lethal if levels become too high under the ice. Maintaining a small opening in the ice will vent the gas during the winter.

Performance review
Owned for one year before it leaked. Another China product failure.
pond doughnut heater.....great until it dies too soon
First two years worked as advertised. Beginning of 3rd year......dies after initially working. Problem is you trust it then BAM a super cold snap happens and complete freeze-over happens. Two years of Winter use is too short a life for the cost. I guess you need to check it daily or have numerous doughnuts in case one gives out??
How you can extending the life of or modify your leaking heater
I have gone thru several of these pond heaters and yes they eventually leak and some fail over time but first I’d like to say I really like this pond heater and I use mine in my 3000 gal pond but I made some modifications by using a colorful foam pool noodle the kind kids use at a pool and wrapping it around the heater then after cutting it to size and making a hole on each ends to close the each side around the base by using a piece of plastic or rubber tubing. It allows the heater to float at the surface of your pond and protects it from taking on water!
