Place the Thermo-Pond in near the edge of the pond. Don't move or disturb it during the winter. It is normal for ice to form around the Thermo-Pond, this will not harm the unit.

To reduce heating time and save electricity the Pond De-Icer is thermostatically controlled. The unique doughnut shape design maintains an ice free center area that allows the accumulated toxic gases to escape from the trapped pond water. This promotes a healthier pond environment for aquatic life.

MelaFix is an all natural medication derived from the leaves of "Melaleuca", the scientific name for the Tea Tree. MelaFix has powerful antibacterial properties that treat fish wounds and promote rapid tissue healing. Healing and tissue regeneration in koi and goldfish can usually be seen in the first four days of treatment.

Disease causing organisms are present in all ponds. Any time a physical abrasion damages fish tissue, bacterial and fungal pathogens seize the opportunity to infect the fish. Shipping, netting, and poor water quality also weaken the fish's immune system, permitting disease problems to occur. Skin and fin abrasions are an unavoidable part of fish keeping. Therefore the potential for disease problems occur with every new fish arrival, whether it is at the hatchery, fish wholesaler, pond shop, or in the pond.

External bacterial infections cause a variety of symptoms including split and ragged fins. In extreme cases the fins erode back to the body. MelaFix promotes regrowth of damaged fins and tissue. In test cases where fish had lost all tail and dorsal fins, MelaFix completely restored both fins to their original condition.

Many tap water supplies contain chlorine. While chlorine makes water safe for human consumption, it is highly toxic to fish. Chlorine destroys fish gills, preventing oxygen intake and carbon dioxide release, resulting in fish death. Low levels of chlorine will irritate the delicate skin tissue of fish, frogs and other aquatic life.

Certain metals such as copper and zinc are important to pond life metabolism, but at elevated or unnatural levels they become toxic and become classified as toxic heavy metals. This includes lead, copper, zinc and manganese, which are present in most water supplies, even well water. Lead and copper pipes and solder used to join pipes can introduce heavy metal to pond water supply. Heavy rains deposit airborne pollutants that deposit heavy metals into pond water.

Heavy metal poisoning can occur slowly over time. Metals accumulate in the organs of aquatic life causing physiological problems; high metal levels can cause rapid fish death without any obvious sign of disease or tissue damage.
