Pond Ice Prevention & Pond Thermometers
The wintercheck for your pond
Here are some tips on how to make your pond fit for the Winter:
- Remove any excess waste from the pond, including silt, sludge, leaves etc., using a fine net or an OASE Pondovac 3.
- If your pump is less than 0.5m deep in the pond, it should be removed, cleaned and stored in a bucket of water in a frost free environment, such as your garage.
- The filter system can be drained and cleaned once the water temperature has dipped below 10 degrees centigrade as the biological activity in the filter will have stopped.
- Floating Lights can remain in the pond throughout the Winter, as they are unaffected by frost and ice, and can help to ensure an area of the pond stays ice free. Alternatively, ice preventors can be used to allow essential gas exchange to take place.

Oase Ice Preventor
36930
Simple solution, simply good Decaying vegetation, fish excrement etc. cause decomposition processes in the pond. During the winter the gases produced during those processes cannot escape through the closed sheet of ice covering the pond. This causes poisoning and hence endangers the life of the fish and all other aquatic life forms in the pond. Furthermore, the lack of contact with the atmosphere causes an acute lack of oxygen in the pond water. To ensure a safe over wintering for all pond dwellers, OASE has developed the Ice Preventer.

Oase SwimSkim 25

Leaves, pollen or other algae nutrients get into pond water via the surface. OASE skimmers powerfully and effectively pull this debris from the surface into the collection basket. Thus the debris is removed from the pond eco-system before it stresses the pond. The result is clearly improved water quality and viewing depth through a reduced nutrient balance. Suitable for ponds with a surface of up to 25 m2. Powerful drive thanks to 2500 litre circulation pump. Including an injector that enriches the pond with oxygen. Fine foam for mechanical/biological filtration. Ice preventer function through water movement. Easy maintenance thanks to removable collection basket. Automatically adjusts to any water level.
