Last winter we decided to heat one of our outdoor ponds.
We choose the 3kw profi heater
We connected to a 3000 gallon uncovered pond.
We used a waterproof thermometer to measure the temperature.
We started this experiment in september and the results were good but expensive!
We set the temperature to 20 c and it was great in december to see your koi happily swimming around,feeding well.
At night the pond resembled a mangrove swamp with steam rising from it(pound notes up in smoke!!!)
We estimated to keep it heated to 20 c cost about £20.00 a week.
It was a joy to watch our koi swimming around with snow on the ground.
Has anyone else heated over winter and if so what heater did you use and what was the cost??
We heat a small quarantine tank with a 300w Titanium Tank Heater
It does a great job!!
