Now might be the time of year you consider installing a heater to your pond. With the winter weather only round the corner, if you want to keep your pond ice free and keep your fish active you will need to stop the pond temperature falling as the air temperature drops.

The cooling of your pond temperature is a gradual process and the fish in your pond are well aware of this. They will adapt to their ambient surroundings and so when the pond temperature drops they will become less active and hence not need as much food. If you want to keep the fish in your pond more active than usual over the winter months then the only solution is to install a pond heater.

Depending on the size of pond you own you will need to buy a pond heater (or pond heaters) accordingly. Most come with a thermostat that can be set to your required temperature and the heater can be easily foxed to the floor of wall of your pond for ease of future access.

Pond heaters are the perfect pond accessory and a great way to make the most of your pond during the cold winter months.
