A Pond Heater or Ice Preventer is an essential piece of equipment in Winter as it will ensure an area of your pond surface remains ice free in freezing conditions. This is important as there needs to be an exchange of harmful toxic gasses and healthy fresh oxygen, at the pond surface, to keep your fish well and healthy. This gas exchange occurs at the pond surface and cannot take place if your pond is completely frozen over.
