I just purchased a 750 watt for my pond which is roughly 900-1000 gallons. I live is Southeast Michigan. The paper in the box said it is not meant as a floating deicer, but can be one with an optional floater. Is there an optional floater or am I...

Hi, I don't have my box anymore but ours just floats the way it is. My husband noticed that there is styrofoam on the under side of the rim that we think makes it float. I think it came that way though. I hope that helps.

My husband insisted when I purchased this pump that it was overkill. Our pond is 14 x 17 with about 4500 gallons of water. The pond was developing a thick coat of ice when we placed the air hose into the pond (only used one) but this immediately began to bubble and I believe this is what insured the survival of our koi during this brutal winter. I would highly recommend this pump.....your never sorry when you buy the best!

You Can't submerge this Pump. You will need 10 to 20 feet of tubing to reach the Bottom of your Pond. I use a Ring Diffuser that I purchased off of Amazon...Danner 14580 Large Ring Air Diffuser 7 Inch. I have had my Pump running for 3 Straight Months with no Issues. It will work just fine for you, and should keep your Pond from Freezing over!

There is a chart on K&H;'s web site that you can use to fugure out what size watts you need for your pond and area.Good luck.

My pond is about 12x12x3-- I use one all year, including winter (put it in shallow area) and this summer when temps peaked 100 I added a second, which helped a lot. I think they work extremely well- get the ring bubbler, it does better than the attachment that comes with the pump.

Mine has been submersed in my 55 gallon tank for almost a year. The water level comes just above the dial and onto the cord. I have not had any issues with it heating and my thermometer and heater settings are dead on. I would buy it again. 300 watt version for my 55.

I used1 1/4 90 deg from pool/ spa flex pipe to 1 inch flex tubing. If need a picture could provide. In my case the Pondmaster clearifier is outside pond mounted before pond filter which is also outside pond . This pond clearifyer canSubmersible or outside pond.

This unit is 120v and designed for a pond, not an aquarium. My opinion it is way too powerful for an aquarium as it is built to clear 2000 gal or larger ponds.

i ordered this pump TetraPond Water Garden Pump 1000 to 1500 gallons. The TetraPond Pond Tubing, 1-1/4-Inch by 20-Feet for our waterfall. TetraPond 26596 Waterfall Filter, Up to 1000-Gallon And its perfect. I wanted the sound and a nice good flow and got it. The box filter made it so much easier to build the water fall. We have had to remake our old pond several times but not with this box. If you want pics email and I can send you what we did. Jodyshandmadesoap@gmail.com

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 an 800 (plus/minus) gallon pond. The filter did an amazing job. The UV light kept the algae at bay. My pond gets 50% sun. It stayed crystal clear all season. If you have a full sun pond, I could only guess that the UV should handle it.

We have ours in southern Pennsylvania and let it run non stop all winter long. Some of the winter we had our pond heater plugged in but for most (and -20 windchill nights) we went without the heater. It's solidly built so you should be fine if you just let it run

My water was cloudy for months. I tried everything you could buy at the pet store. The Green Killing Machine completely cleared my water within days and it has been clear for over 6 months. I will keep it in the event I get this type of algae growth again. I would agree that it doesn't seem to have a strong flow, but it is the UV light that is killing the algae so you really do not want the water to rush through the device.

I don't know as I didn't ever use it. It was not what I was looking for for my little 400 gallon pond.

We have an outdoor Koi pond..4,7000 gal. Works great. YES or came with à bulb.

It's probably too big. For 20 gallons of water, a 50-watt would be more appropriate. This is a 200-watt. Mine is in about 80 gallons of water in a very cold room.

We have one and it works very good.this is our second pond heater . The first one lasted for many years. It is only designed to keep a hole in the ice so gasses don't build up and kill your fish. Our pond is about 800 gallon.
