Has anyone used this in a pond?

I have used it in a 120 gallon fish tank with large fish its perfectly safe for them. I put it in my filter to remove the ammonia that builds up. I would contact the company.

Yes, I have used it in a 16,500 gallon pond. It will work and absorb ammonia. Also used it when adding water to the pond, because if you break down chloramine with carbon, you get rid of the chlorine but then are left with ammonia. this will absorb the ammonia left over. Also good if you just have too much ammonia . It can be recharged when it stops working, lots of good articles about recharging it with salt are on the web.

i use mine on my hot tub it works very well. i dont see why you couldnt use it on your fountain/pond . the catch bag is very easy to clean out after every use and it very easy to operate.

I would say yes you can use it outside but I would give it some shelter from the sun and rain. Also, you may have more issues with algae if the ponds gets a lot of sunshine, requiring more carbon changes

I have mine mounted on the outside of the pond. It can be mounted inside the pond just make sure it is level. I would also recommend you make sure it is big enough for your needs. Do not calculate on gallons of water. You need to calculate how many fish you will have in the pond. I have 2000 gallons with 17 koi. I have 12,000gallons worht of filter and it barely keeps the water clean. Hope this is helpfull

We have a reasonably large pond (18' diameter) and have used it for the past year. No issues with liner, and for the first time ALL of our fish made it through the winter. We started the pond pump up again for Spring and within 3 days the water was crystal clear. This light is a life saver.

yes. buttttttt. i would not recommend this product. it didn't catch as much debris as i wanted even though it was rated for a large pond. it also came loose and i lost all of my pond water:( rating scale 1-5.....a "0"

I have had no problem, I am using it on a water tank for my cows. The water comes from a well.

Outdoor stuff is tough because of all sun and elements they're exposed to (I used to build ponds and such). It may be marginally effective, but it would probably be high maintenance (filter will clog quickly, pump might get clogged). I'd say give it a shot. If it cleans the water you could always go with a better unit down the road.

It doesn't say that it can be used in something as a large outdoor pond. Please contact the manufacturer before you buy this product. Thank You, Shop2themax

I have only used it in a lake. It is extremely durable. We had it tied up to a buoy for a week.

Yes - my grandson is enjoying it on a family pond. Just the right size for their pond.

I have a 3/4 acre pond. All good for fish,ducks and horses. I threw out half of the 5lb bag with a scoop from the bank down one side. Two weeks later I threw it out from the bank on the other side. Worked great.

I don't have a personal experience using it under water and for a fish pond. According to the Thermabond web site it will probably work as long as you clean off the algie really well. They don't guarantee it, though. I suggest you read the instructions on their website about cleaning the surface and squeezing the water out from between the tape and the surface. In the reviews on Amazon for Thermabond kgraham used it for a koy pond with success. Didn't say anything about the long term effects on the koy.

My pond is about 800 gals and this unit is good for aeration not filtration. You need to also add a good volume pump and separate filter unit.

I just sprinkled it in my pond about 3 cups full, we have about a 3/4 acre pond and that worked good.

Yep. I purchased a 2nd one for this year and have it running in my pond now. Works great.
