Heating a Koi Pond

Koi Pond HeatingThere are many reasons for heating your koi pond,maybe you just want to
see your enjoy your pond in all seasons .Whatever your reason we just
want to give you some insight to make it easy to accomplish. There is
now new technology,energy efficient heaters being developed for pond
heating.Therefore we recommend electric koi pond heaters,submersible
heaters,heat exchangers and floating pond heaters.Pond heating
Considerations: First you must determine whether you want to de-ice or
actually heat your pond to a specific temperature .Deicers melt the ice
to provide an opening for harmful gas exchange only. Heating your pond
to obtain a specific temperature can be a bit technical, so if your not
sure about the heater sizing we recommend that you contact our koi pond
heating specialists. The outside low temperature is the key to your
kilowatt requirements and unfortunately it can vary. Your heater output
kilowatts are calculated based on your low ambient temperature and if
your geographical area drops far below that normal low temperature a
safety factor should be included in the calculations.We recommend
submersible pond heaters for small to medium size ponds and energy
efficient heat exchangers for large ponds.
Koi Pond
Information: One period when koi keepers traditionally have their most
difficult time with health problems is during the transition from
winter to spring. As waters begin to warm up, pathogens are able to
multiply at a more rapid rate than koi can defend themselves leading to
an increase in the likelihood of disease. If a pond is heated over
winter, then this risky period is removed from the koi owners.View info

The major reasons for pond heater failures;Pond water is usually high
in calcium chloride and other minerals,this causes build up on
heaters.In time the build up prevents heat transfer and the heater
internally burns out.Our new technology completely eliminates any build
up.
Salt additives to pond water eventually corrodes the heater
surface.We have developed heaters that cant be attacked chemically.The
most popular cause of pond heater failure is low liquid burnout.Our new
pond heaters don't burn from lack of liquid,they can run in air and
will shut themselves down..Visit our web site Heating Your Pond
