Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The new "Perfect Climate" line from K&H Manufacturing has "reinvented the wheel" when it comes to keeping ice free water available in winter ponds. Every K&H de-icer is safe in all ponds, unlike many of the other de-icers available in the market today. Every one of our de-icers can be used as a floating de-icer out of the box or in seconds converts to a submersible de-icer with the click of a button! In the past, all that was readily available were energy gulping 1000 watt to 1500 watt de-icers; pond owners had no choice but to purchase these expensive to run de-icers, even when they didn't need it. We've solved this problem by creating a whole line of de-icers along with a convenient zone chart for consumers to choose the correct de-icer, every time! When it comes to ice free ponds, K&H Perfect Climate is the choice that makes sense.

- Can be used floating OR submersed
- Safe for use with any pond or pond liner
- Simple to clean and maintain
- 12' cord
- Three wattages to choose from
- MET Listed

Keeps kicking breaker after about 90 days of use. Pond froze over. Hoping my fish haven't perished. Would not recommend poor quality product.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I've owned several of these for different ponds and I love that they float. My koi and goldfish gather around it like a hangout during the day and even in single digit weather my pond doesn't freeze. I'm able to put one near my pump and leep it running underwater if needed too.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that the floating heater is working so well for your ponds, even in single-digit weather! It sounds like your koi and goldfish have found their perfect hangout spot, and we’re glad it helps keep everything running smoothly, even near the pump. We appreciate your continued support and are thrilled to be part of keeping your pond cozy and your fish happy year-round!

Works great for my 100 gallon stock tank pond. The fish love it, and here in southern WV the pond constantly freezes over in the winter even with a 300gph pump pumping the water.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad to hear that the product is working perfectly for your 100-gallon stock tank pond and keeping your fish happy, even through those cold southern WV winters! It’s great to know it’s preventing the pond from freezing and providing your fish with a safe, warm environment. Thanks for choosing us to help keep your pond in top shape!

We use the 250 watt pond deicer in our horse trough. It keeps enough melted for the horses to drink, we are in Zone 7. This deicer requires little power and comes with a 12 foot cord, its eliminated the need for extension cords. Its worked well for our needs.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear the pond deicer is working well for your horse trough and that it’s been a convenient solution for you. The low power usage and long cord definitely make a difference! We appreciate you sharing your experience!

I bought this a couple of months ago for my outdoor pond. This morning I noticed my pond was freezing over with my fish in it. I inspected the unit to find that the heating element and the wire inside corroded.

The de-icer worked well but because I'm in a border-line climate zone it left the pond water was a bit warmer than I would have liked. Tyne was very helpful in diagnosing the problem and replaced it with a lower power model which is working fine. I've contacted this company twice with questions on this product and they've been very responsive & helpful.

I purchased the 1500 watt heater for my pond it was in use short of a month ,When I removed it from the pond to check it the the heating rods coming out of the ellament had rusted ( those should not rust ) and one couner of the rod had rusted thew ( it should not rust its made to be in the water and this took less than a month ) I will be returning it but hope I can get my money back as I do not feel safe putting it back in my pond !!!

I just bought and I can tell you it looks as exactly advertised and appears to be working correctly. I’ve got it plugged into a GCFI switch and into the Thermo Cube I bought from you. I hope to have a need for more of your products soon. Thanks for offering this type of product line.

How do I know if it is "on"?

7 years ago
This is not an answer, it is a comment that the staff answer was not an answer either. They describe how it is supposed to work and the question was, how to verify that it is working? The staff answer seems to imply that there has NEVER been a failure. Does anyone now the answer please?

If I use the de-icer as a submersible, does it float or does it stay down without an anchor?

11 years ago
It will stay down without an anchor. I do not recommend this unless the pond is shallow and is made of concrete/cement. The heating element does get very warm, and may damage vinyl or PVC ponds. These units float very low in the water with a very low profile, and are not an eye sore. (As long as you buy the black color.)

These units are only made to keep a small area clear of ice to allow gases to vent. My pond is close to your size and the 1500w model has perfomed that task well.

If I have a running waterfall in my pond, do I need to be concerned about a heater?

11 years ago
YES ! You do need a heater and a 750 to a 1,500 watt unit for single digit temperature protection.

when purching a de-icer, how do i know what watt to buy??????

11 years ago
GOOD QUESTION !! You need to do a little research as to the pond size (gallons), and your zone. Basically, a 250W will suffice on a pond up to 400 gallons in zones 5 thru 8. Use a 750W from 400 up to 1,000 gallons in zones 3 thru 5. Use 1500W on any pond 1,000+ from zones 3 thru 5. (These numbers are for K & H Floating De-Icer's.)

What is the warranty period on this item.

11 years ago
Factory warranty is 2 years. My oldest units have been used for 5 years without any issues. Clean them well at the end of the season, and be careful to never remove then from the water while plugged in, and they can last for many years. These are epoxy filled units.
