Atlantic Pond De-Icer - 300 Watts
The Atlantic Pond De-Icer is a critical winter maintenance tool for any pond owner in cold climates. When a pond freezes over completely, toxic gases produced by decaying organic matter (like leaves and fish waste) become trapped under the ice, while oxygen levels drop. This can be fatal to koi and goldfish. The Atlantic 300-watt de-icer is designed to maintain a small opening in the surface ice, ensuring continuous gas exchange and life-saving oxygenation for your aquatic life.
Unlike high-wattage tank heaters, this 300-watt model is highly energy-efficient and thermostatically controlled to operate only when the water temperature drops below freezing.
Key Features:
-
Life-Saving Gas Exchange: Keeps a vent hole open in the ice to release harmful gases and allow oxygen to enter.
-
Thermostatic Control: Automatically turns on when water approaches freezing and shuts off when the temperature rises, saving on electricity costs.
-
Internal LED Indicator: Features an internal glow light that lets you see from a distance if the unit is powered on and operating.
-
Fish-Safe Design: Constructed with high-impact plastic and an efficient heating element that is safe for use in all flexible liners and pre-formed ponds.
-
Durable Construction: Built to withstand harsh winter conditions with a 20-foot heavy-duty power cord.

Tech Tip for Extreme Cold: For maximum winter safety in regions with prolonged sub-zero temperatures, combine the Atlantic Pond De-Icer with a Typhoon Aeration Kit. Place the aerator’s diffuser stone in a shallow area (about 12" deep) directly under the floating de-icer. The rising bubbles will help circulate the warmed water, keeping a much larger hole open even during the most severe winter storms.
Why Choose the Atlantic 300W De-Icer? It strikes the perfect balance between performance and efficiency. While larger heaters can be expensive to run, the 300-watt Atlantic model provides enough heat to maintain a vent hole in most backyard ponds without a significant spike in your utility bill. It is a reliable, "set-it-and-forget-it" solution for winter peace of mind.
