Do you have a water feature on your property? A water feature such as a fountain in your pond or lake will increase the value of your property. They will also improve the aesthetics of your property and provide you with a private and calming oasis. Adding fish to the water feature will take it to a whole new level. There’s only one drawback in the winters; freezing temperatures. When winter comes around, many of those with water features take out their fountains or otherwise and watch as the water freezes over and fish die. This is due to a lack of oxygen transfer, caused by the ice “caps” on top of the water. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. By investing in a lake de-icer, you can maintain open water, continue to provide circulation and oxygenation in winter time, and ultimately save your fish! Spare yourself the heartache and expense of purchasing new fish and take a read on for some more tips.
