I looked into getting a pond heater, but I wasnt prepared to spend
$200.00, I'll just have to check more ofter withthe airline as it
seem to work when its working.


Joel - as Ross said, go to TSC or another farm co-op store and ask
for a
floating heater for livestock water troughs - they run from $30 - $50
and are 1250 or 1500 watt floating heaters . I don't use one as my
airstone works fine as long as I keep an eye on it - If I used one I
would have it on a timer and run ~ 2 hrs /day ( I had one 10 yrs ago
and only plugged it in a few hrs at a time on really cold days) .
They do like their hydro
Gale :~)




I'll have to look for a heater for the summer, I know I dont need it
on all the time, just when it hits -30C which doesnt happen to often.

I took another look today and saw many small ones have survived, small
are ones are 1.5 to 3" in size.

I should have looked online for heaters, I checked and they have one that
would have done the job.

the cheapest I could fine in a retail store were from 175 to 250, the link
above is 80.00, damn.
