Can you use this in a fiberglas pond?

I have not used this product yet since the weather here has not been cold enough. I will let you know when I use it how well it does work. I know that does not help you now if you are planning on buying one right-a-way.

I'm sure you can, but if it is bigger than 30" it won't have enough power. It never was able to thaw more than a small hole in my birdbath during the winter. I live in CT

I use it in a plastic bird bath with no problem. A couple things to be aware of - it works well down to 25 degrees or so; also it would not keep a large area of water ice free and might not be good for a pond deeper than a bird bath. Around 25 it would clear a small area around the unit. It will ice over in the zero to 15 degree range. To work at those low temps would take a lot of current and might damage bath/pond material.

i am sure it would work if you dont let debris get in it at the pump. This is a 12 volt pump so you would need a power converter or a battery closeby. There are 120volt pumps for ponds that are made for this kind of work that might be more appropriate.

Depending on you're pond size I'm using a 1600 gpm on my 1800 gallon pond. Water is crystal clear year round as it is in the sun all day. We did use the blue pond dye and the fish really like it and it is algae free. Good luck

This cannot be submerged, need to be outside and the air outlet do need to be in the pond. I have on additional a large diffuser and a heat ring to take care of my pond in the winter

I do not use it in a wet application, and I would say that it is not intended to be used in a wet application. If you want to keep a hole in the ice, that is one thing, if you want to keep the whole pond warm so it does not freeze, that is entirely a different thing. The amount of BTU's to raise your whole pond above freezing is HUGE, but to just keep a hole in the ice, get a cow/horse trough heater, that is what I use in my pond to allow oxygenation of the water and a place for the fish to eat, although the fish really don't eat much when the water is that cold. sorry for being so lengthy

My pond is cement so I really couldn't answer that question honestly. Sorry.

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

Yes, we used it in our pond with no problems to the fish or pets drinking the water. However, I must say, in our fountain, despite using this product we had mosquito larvae develop so I have not purchased anymore of it as it did not prevent mosquito larvae. I have switched back to using Mosquito dunks which are also safe for ponds - they work great but are a bit more messy as they break down.

It would depend how big the pond filter is. You could put several bags into it. This stuff is not to replace the other mediums in your filter but to be added in. I have been using it for a while now, and its great. It also can be recharged. I would think that if you use it in a pond you would probably have to rinse it out and recharge it quiet often as there would be more particles in the water.

I think you'd have to keep it in a dry place. I use it for a 55g turtle tank indoors, and it works great. But I think for the price you could do better on outdoor "pond" filters.

If you can make the tubing connections, I don't see why not. I use mine in a non traditional way:making a waterfalls and pond in a paludarium.

It will work fine, but because it uses a water hose to create the vacuum effect, you might have to remove some water from your pond after you vacuum.

Yes, worked perfectly. I put it in (1.5 bags) for about an acre pond, in April, just as the algae was growing. Within a few days the algae turns dark and drops to the bottom and disappears.

I hope you added it. Although it's good to pump it around I think it will be good for the pond. I also shut my pump down for the winter I run an aireator through the winter to keep hole in ice for gas release. I'm sure that moves the water around also. Good luck.

I guess you can, I'm afraid you might have to use a lot of material since the ply will absorbed the water. You can also try red guard

It's perfect for an aquarium but a pond is a little to much. Mine is in a 40 gallon aquarium.

You should be able to. It will help with the filtration process. Hope this helps answer your question. Happy ponding!!!!!
