Small Package, Big Energy Savings
While other high-wattage de-icers can drive electric bills through the roof, the K&H Thermo-Pond 3.0 is easy on your budget. It consumes a mere 100 watts of power and operates for just pennies a day. With the money you'll save compared to running a traditional pond de-icer, the Thermo-Pond 3.0 can pay for itself in a few months.
Thermostatic Temperature Control
Internal thermostats automatically monitor water temperature and turn the floating Thermo-Pond 3.0 on and off as needed to keep the average water temperature just above freezing. Our patented technology ensures that your pond de-icer will only run as often as needed to maintain a 12 inch hole in the ice. In fact, it's thermostatically controlled to never get hot when properly submerged in water. Unlike some other heaters, Thermo-Pond will never burn a pond liner or plastic pond.
Safety-Tested
This product has been tested and certified by MET Labs to meet their high standards for electrical product safety.
As with any electrical product used in wet locations, please plug the Thermo-Pond 3.0 into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet
Gas Exchange Keeps Fish Alive
An open hole in pond ice allows proper gas exchange and helps fish survive the winter. The Thermo-Pond 3.0 facilitates this exchange by maintaining a 12 inch hole in pond ice, even in sub-zero weather. Add this K&H pond de-icer to create a healthier environment for your fish this winter.
To ensure that your fish have plenty of livable area, please operate the Thermo-Pond in ponds with a depth of at least 18 inches.
Safe For Fish
Even when they do come in contact with the heating element of a K&H deicer, your fish are quite safe. The heating element will never get hot to the touch as long as it is properly submerged in water. You can actually reach down into the water and put your finger on the heating element and it will not burn you. In the middle of winter when it gets really cold you’ll find your fish huddling around the deicer to keep warm, but the deicer will never harm them.

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!
