MidwestPonds.com has dock de-icing equipment for both small and large ponds/lakes. If you need a more economic solution a small dock bubbler deicer can keep a small area of water clear in milder climates. Give us a call if you would like assistance in selecting the best dock deicer for your lakefront or small pond.

Providing oxygen and gas exchange is critical for small backyard ponds and watergardens. Koi and goldfish thrive under the ice in most conditions as long as the water below the ice is oxygenated and bad gases have a way to escape the pond. 

Ice can act as a cap or lid on your small ecosystem. Thick ice seals in cabin dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane, and several other noxious gases that under high concentration can kill fish.

Winter kill is easily avoided with a small aeration kit or submerged pump cycling "warmer" water to the surface, keeping a small hole open in the ice. This turbulent water allows your koi pond to breathe and cycle naturally. 

Save your fish the stress of being pulled out of their home and stored in the basement every winter with  an air kit from Midwest Ponds.
