it is also an energy hog. a 100 watt aquarium heater under the bubbler
really kicks
ass as far as keeping the ice out. for the plug get thee to a hardware
store, get
into the automotive area and look for dielectric grease. fill up the
holes, plug it
in and it will be waterproof. of course, plug into a circuit with a
circuit
breaker!! Ingrid

Ingrid,

What did you use for a guard on your titanium heater? My brand did not have
a guard available, so I'll have to cobble something together.

The pond is down to 43F now, so it will soon be time to throw in the heater.
Although I'm still trying to decide on a suitable temperature range. I was
considering 35F - 39F.
