Product description
Keep your pond breathing through a Canadian winter with the Aquascape 300-Watt Pond De-Icer. This energy-efficient pond heater and de-icer maintains a small opening in surface ice for vital gas exchange, helping support koi and pond fish through freezing conditions.
Winter Protection for Fish Ponds
When a pond freezes completely, gases produced beneath the ice can become trapped. Maintaining an opening at the surface allows essential gas exchange throughout the winter.
The Aquascape Pond De-Icer is designed specifically for this purpose — keeping a small area of open water without trying to heat the entire pond.
Designed for Canadian winter pond care
A thermostatically controlled 300-watt heating element maintains an opening in pond ice while minimizing unnecessary energy use — an important combination for long periods of freezing weather.
Thermostatic, Energy-Efficient Operation
The internal thermostat automatically regulates operation instead of continuously applying heat when it is not required.
A built-in LED indicator makes it easy to confirm when the de-icer is operating during cold weather.
Why Use a Pond De-Icer?
- Keeps a small opening in winter pond ice
- Supports essential surface gas exchange
- Helps protect koi and pond fish during winter
- Reduces the risk of a completely sealed pond surface
- Provides automatic thermostatic operation
- Uses an energy-efficient 300-watt heating element
Built for Long-Term Outdoor Use
The stainless-steel construction resists corrosion and cracking, providing a durable solution for seasonal pond winterization.
A 22-foot power cord provides flexible placement, while the compact floating design makes seasonal setup straightforward.
Important: De-Icer vs. Pond Heater
Although pond de-icers are commonly searched for as pond heaters, this unit is not intended to warm the entire pond. Its purpose is to maintain a small opening in the ice so the pond can continue exchanging gases throughout winter.

Winter Pond Recommendation
For severe winter conditions, a pond de-icer can be used together with properly positioned pond aeration. The de-icer maintains an opening in the ice while aeration provides additional water movement and oxygenation.
Professional Tip
The goal is not to keep the entire pond ice-free. A small, dependable opening is enough to maintain surface gas exchange while allowing the rest of the pond to remain naturally cold through winter.
