I was also wondering, if you need a 500W heater, does it make more
sense to buy 2 250W heaters? Then, if one goes out, you at least have
some heat. It seems like that would maybe be safer.

Thanks for the model info. I notice the controller works from 20-34C.
20C is 68F, so does that mean it is always on in the winter since I
doubt your pond reaches 68 in WI?

uncovered glass wouldnt survive in a pond with koi I dont think. the one I got has a
cage around it. the 500w is VT500 ($44) and the controller is VT500T ($30)

the JH500 titanium heater could be hung from something to prevent it from hitting the
liner. or, hung in a bucket. Ingrid

I must have an old catalog - no heaters on p. 361. Do you know the
brand? I am seeing a lot of glass aquarium type heaters which I would
think wouldn't be safe in a pond. With the metal heaters, how do you
keep it from burning the liner?
