Operation
WARNING: Extreme caution should be taken when working near
frozen ponds. Never walk on thin ice. Your safety should always
be of the highest priority.
The heated de-icer should be positioned over the deepest part of the pond. Place the unit in the pond
and plug the cord in the electrical socket. If the pond surface is already frozen do the following:
Fill a pot with boiling water, attach a cord or string to it and place it on the frozen surface. The hot pot
will eventually melt a hole through the ice surface. Once a suitably large hole is created, install the
unit. Never break or chop at the ice as the shock waves can unnecessarily stress pond fish.
For added stability, the de-icer can be anchored to the pond bottom using a string or cord attached to
the hook underneath the de-icer and anchored to the bottom of the pond by a brick or other suitable
weight.
