Use indoor heat on Pond
Has anyone either heard of or used a technique of using the heat in
your house like either of these: -Keep your filter in the corner of your basement (or somewhere else in your house) and run the piping through the exterior wall of your house. This would serve to heat the water, depending on the flow rate of your filter. -Use a tank of some sort to flow water from the pond into the inside of the house. The flow rate would be such that the water would stay in the tank a sufficient period of time to warm before being returned to the pond. Both of these would obviously require 2 pipes going into/out of the house. It would not be to keep the water at 70 degrees. It would merely be to keep it above freezing for those of us in colder areas (I am zone 5). The bigger the tank, the warmer the water would be. It seems that other methods of heating are very expensive. I bought one of those low energy de-icers and my pond froze over before it even got to be really cold. |
