K&H Pet Products Pond Heater 250W – Thermostatically Controlled Floating & Submersible Deicer for Outdoor Ponds

Keep your outdoor pond open and thriving all winter

The K&H Pet Products Perfect Climate Pond Deicer is a versatile solution designed to prevent the water surface from freezing while preserving essential water movement for fish and pond life. It ships ready to use as a floating deicer and can be quickly converted to a submersible heater when your setup calls for it. Built with practical design and a long history of pet product safety, this deicer prioritizes dependable performance without overwhelming power use.

Three wattage options and a zone chart let you pair the heater with pond size and local climate. The device is thermostatically controlled, turning on only as needed to maintain an open water channel. This approach helps balance energy use with winter comfort for your pond, providing a simple, adaptable solution for varying weather conditions. The 250 watt model is designed with moderate outdoor ponds in mind, offering a reliable balance between efficiency and performance.

Flexible, user-friendly installation

Out of the box, the unit floats on the water. In seconds, it can be configured as a submersible heater, letting you position it where water movement and temperature balance work best for your pond. Remember to keep the heating element submerged at all times during use to ensure proper operation.

Safety, reliability, and brand pedigree

• MET Labs safety certification ensures compliance with USA and CA electrical standards
• Designed by K&H with more than 25 years of experience in safe, innovative pet products
• Built to withstand outdoor environments with thoughtful construction and reliability

Important setup and care notes

• Keep the heating element free from mineral buildup to prevent tripping GFCI or heater stoppage; use 110/120 volt power as specified
• Natural dissolved gases can create foam around the deicer during temperature changes; this is normal and not toxic
• Heater may not feel warm to the touch when submerged; temperature sensation is not an indicator of performance

What to expect

By maintaining an open water area, the deicer supports ongoing water movement and oxygen exchange, which can benefit pond life during cold weather. Individual results vary by pond size, climate, and how you use the zone chart, but this device presents a practical option for winter pond management without excessive energy use.
