Every winter,
the same problem occurs: The pond freezes up completely, and toxic gases
build up at the bottom of the pond and cannot escape. Toxic gases create
a lack of oxygen in the water and cause the poisoning of living organisms.
Due to this lack of oxygen, fish and microorganisms have practically no
chance of survival.
The OASE IceFree
is the solution to this problem. The pump pulls the lower layer of water
(which has been warmed to around 39° F by the higher temperature of
the earth) from the bottom of the pond. The water is then pumped through
the hose, using extremely little energy, and is let out at the surface
directly below the floating bowl. The warmth of the water is sufficient
to keep a hole with a diameter of 8 inches ice free. This allows toxic
gases caused by decomposition processes (fish excrement, leaves, etc.)
to evaporate. This aeration process helps ensure the survival of fish and
other microorganisms.
