Pond Heaters

Looking for a Reliable Pond Heater?

If your pond has a habit of freezing over in the winter months, it sounds like you need a pond heater. Our pond heaters keep the heat up when the temperatures drop, offering a huge wealth of benefits for your pond. Let our heaters do all the heavy lifting.

Here are just some of the things you can expect when you purchase a pond heater from us.

Reliable Protection for Your Fish: Although many species of fish (such as goldfish and koi) can tolerate cold temperatures, they’ll still need some warmth to survive during those extreme, bitter winters.

Protecting Your Pond’s Ecosystem: A pond heater will stop ice from covering your entire pond, which means oxygen can get in, and toxic gas can escape.

Simple to Set Up: Like all Your Pond Pros equipment, from our pond pumps to aerators, our pond heaters are easy to install and don’t require much maintenance.

Why You Need a Pond Heater

Although it’s important to keep on top of your pond in the summer months, that doesn’t mean you can neglect it when winter comes around. If you live in an area prone to bitter temperatures and your pond often freezes over, a pond heater will protect your pond and the life that resides within it.

What Happens When You Don’t Have a Pond Heater?

Simply put, if you don’t have a pond heater, you won’t be able to keep a stable temperature for your pond life. Just like how hot water can harm your fish and plant life, freezing cold temperatures can have dangerous effects, too. 

If the surface of your pond freezes over entirely, harmful and toxic gases won’t be able to get out. Oxygen won’t be able to get in, either, leaving your pond life to fend for itself in the middle of a toxic environment.

Choosing the Right Pond Heater Matters

What type of pond do you own? Different ponds and pond sizes will need different types of pond heaters. Some common types of heaters include:

Floating Pond Heaters: These are perfect for smaller ponds. They won’t stop your pond from freezing over, but they will keep an area free of ice so gas can escape.

Submersible Pond Heaters: These heaters are great for larger ponds with fish. They work by warming water from below the surface.

Solar-Powered Pond Heaters: Looking for an eco-friendly option? These types of heaters use sunlight to keep your pond warm.

Don’t Skimp on Pond Aerating

If your pond is freezing over fully in the winter, you might have an aeration problem. You shouldn’t just be aerating your pond in the summer; pond aeration is a year-round job to make sure your pond water is getting enough dissolved oxygen. Here at Your Pond Pros, we offer aerators and pond fountains designed to aerate your pond all summer long. 

Worried about electricity costs? Don’t be, as we offer solar pond fountains to keep your pond fresh, and your electricity costs low.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pond Heaters

How Can I Heat My Pond Cheaply?

If you know you need to invest in a pond heater, you might be worried about the potential costs. Luckily, pond heaters aren’t that too expensive upfront. If you’re worried about the expense of running a pond heater, choose solar-powered models, which will cut down on electricity costs.

You can also place a pond cover over your pond to retain heat and reduce the consumption of energy.

At Your Pond Pros, we use energy-efficient models that use minimal amounts of energy, which means you can heat your pond for a fraction of the cost of traditional, less-modern models.

Can Goldfish Survive in a Pond During Winter?

Goldfish can survive during the winter months, providing the temperature doesn’t drop too low. This species of fish tends to swim down to the bottom of the pond during winter, which helps them survive the bitter cold. However, a pond heater can help put your mind at rest, especially if your area is prone to those freezing temperatures.

How Can I Keep My Pond Warm Naturally?

There are a few ways you can keep your pond warm naturally, which can include investing in a pond cover to retain heat, installing insulation around the edges of the pond, or even increasing the depth of your pond, as deeper ponds retain more heat compared to shallower ones.
