I’m trying to keep my pond at 26 degrees Celsius as I would like to keep large amazonian fish (dream would be a redtail) if the pond is insulated heavily (foam insulation underneath and in the sides of pond) and has a lid, would the cost stupid money to heat my pond, pond is around 10 feet x 10 feet x 2 foot average depth

What would be the minimum temperature we should have for a koi pond during the winter months currently my minimum temperature is set at 12 degrees. Thank you
@leecalladine4 жыл бұрын
I would recommend 10c if possible. That's achieved easily if the pond has insulation and you fit a small heater such as this.

Hi Lee you have recommended cloverleaf heaters. My koi are very cold at 5 degrees n i feel sorry for them. Does the 1 kw model once installed run off 1 plug? Can i turn it off in the summer n leave it as part of my set up? Lastly i read one review where the person said the thermostat is wildly innacurate is that true?
@leecalladine4 жыл бұрын
Yes the heater will run of one plug. You can turn the heater off or remove it completely in the summer. The thermostat does not have to be highly accurate. The difference between 15 degrees and 18 degrees is of no significance. Hope this helps.

Hi Lee how much would it cost to run a 1 kw heater of this model to obtain 10 degrees? Your best estimate plz. This would be in a 5500 litre pond in northern england. I've got a cover on too. I worked out that 1000 watts used every day for every hour for one week would cost approx £95. 10 degrees is quite cool though so would this be less cost? Any advice would be brill thanks
@leecalladine4 жыл бұрын
Assuming that you pay around 20p per kilowatt hour. The most it could use in one week is £33. However it would be a lot less because it would not be running all the time. It's all about insulation. The more insulation you have the less energy needs to be used maintaining the temperature.

Do you actually have one of these heaters? If so, how long has it been running and is it installed outdoors? I had a Cloverleaf heater. 2kw titanium model. It broke after one winter. The part where the electric is, isn't waterproof. When it rained it would get wet and trip the house out. Also 1.5 metres is pitiful.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with one. We ran one our quarantine system without any problem. However it was covered and only used for 2 four month periods. I was impressed with the price and range of fittings supplied.

@@leecalladine The price is incredible. So much so, that I am considering getting one, despite what happened with the last one. The best thing is... It had a 2 year warranty but I bought it and left it in the box for for 18 months. So by the time I had it plumbed in, there was only 6 months left on the warranty. I must say, the man I spoke to at Cloverleaf was very pleasant. It was installed outdoors but I did ask Cloverleaf if that was acceptable use and they led me to believe it would be OK outside as long as it was fitted as per their diagrams. To anyone reading. The heaters in the video are 2 models newer than the one I have. So in all liklihood they are probably more robust.

It lives inside the filter house not inside the pond itself or out in the elements so being splash proof is all that's required, as stated it's "cheap as chips" so there needs to be some compromise don't you think and for around £170 it's very much cheaper than other brands

I'll be honest these heaters are not very cost efficient. I ran one of these for a year on a indoor tropical pond which was insulated and had a cover so it wasn't open. for the year it cost me £1500 on its own. so yes there a good heater, but very expensive..

Yes it could cost a very large amount of money to run a pond heater. It doesn't matter what type of heater you use it can cost a lot. If the temperature is set to a high level and the pond is badly insulated then it will soon add up.

It is extremely important to set the thermostat to a reasonable level and invest in a good amount of insulation.
