Installation Instructions
Simply plug in your Thermo-Pond and float it in your pond with the dome side up. If your pond is iced over, use an ice auger to drill a hole if the ice is more than 2 inches thick, and place the Thermo-Pond over the hole. If the ice is only 1 or 2 inches thick, place the Thermo-Pond directly on the ice, and it will melt its way through.
Do not chop through the ice as this may create shock waves that can harm or kill your fish. Always prioritize safety—avoid walking on thin ice. Position the Thermo-Pond within arm's reach from the shore to prevent walking on the ice. After the winter season, clean your Thermo-Pond with a damp cloth and store it in a dry place.
Product Safety and Care
Always inspect your heater before use. If there are cracks in the cord or plastic housing, discard the heater immediately.
| Ice typically forms up to the sides of the Thermo-Pond™. This will not damage or crush the unit. There is water underneath, which allows toxic gases to vent through the hole. |  |
| This is the hole created by the Thermo-Pond™. It is best to leave the unit undisturbed throughout the winter season. |  |
