Every winter, the same problem occurs: The pond freezes up completely, and toxic gases build up at the bottom of the pond and cannot escape. Toxic gases create a lack of oxygen in the water and cause the poisoning of living organisms. Due to this lack of oxygen, fish and microorganisms have practically no chance of survival. 
The OASE IceFree is the solution to this problem. The pump pulls the lower layer of water (which has been warmed to around 39° F by the higher temperature of the earth) from the bottom of the pond. The water is then pumped through the hose, using extremely little energy, and is let out at the surface directly below the floating bowl. The warmth of the water is sufficient to keep a hole with a diameter of 8 inches ice free. This allows toxic gases caused by decomposition processes (fish excrement, leaves, etc.) to evaporate. This aeration process helps ensure the survival of fish and other microorganisms.

As always, everything was perfect. We received our order unexpectedly already after 2 days. The day thereafter everything was in the pond replacing some product we had nothing but problems with. Now, time will tell. Thanks for caring.

My order arrived within a couple of days. About the same time, I received an email with detailed instructions on how to install the pond aerator ... so far, I've been very pleased with your service. Thanks for asking!

It's working great!  It's been in the pond for several weeks, and we've had temperatures in the single digits and teens for quite a while, complete with below zero temps at night, and it is keeping a good 24-30" clear.  It's on one end of the pond, in approximately 3 to 4 feet of water.
I've looked at some of the other options such as the high-wattage heaters, and while they're rather inexpensive to purchase, the operating costs are astronomical - that's why we started looking into pumps instead.  So we'll let it go & see how it goes for the remainder of the winter...I think it'll do ok. Thanks!

I have been so happy with your service and the products you sell.  That vacuum is absolutely wonderful. I can't believe how well it did and how much easier and faster it will be to clean out the pond.
