Mulitiple themostat deicer for great perofmance through the cold winter months. Unit maintains an opening in the ice. Measures 7-1/2" x 7" x 4-1/2" high. 15 ft cord. 1500W. Use with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to protect against shock hazard. Reliable performance down to minus 20°F.

Installation

To Operate as a Floater:
Simply place the unit with the float attached into the water. Connect the cord to a properly grounded receptacle while observing the cautions above.

To Operate as a Sinker:
Remove the cover and float from the unit. (The cover is held in place by tabs lined along its lower edge.) Turn the unit upside down and lower it into the water so that it rests on its feet at the bottom of the pond. Connect the cord to a properly grounded receptacle while observing the cautions above.

Maintenance
Do not allow lime or other impurities in the water to build up on the heating element. The frequency of cleaning depends directly upon the composition of your water supply.

Troubleshooting
The de-icer has been fully tested and guaranteed to perform to specifications; there are no user adjustments or modifications on the unit. However, you can perform certain checks for the following conditions:

The Pond Freezes Over
Check that you have power to the de-icer by unplugging the unit and plugging in an electrical device such as a lamp or power tool. If no power is present, make sure that a breaker has not been tripped or a fuse blown. If the breaker or fuse checks out okay, inspect the wiring to the outlet, otherwise remove the unit from the pond before resetting the breaker or replacing the fuse. Follow the instructions for testing the unit as described in the next section below.

If the outlet where the de-icer is plugged in is located far from the electrical breaker box, there could be significant voltage drop in the wiring to the outlet. This in turn could reduce the power output of the de-icer. Consult with a professional electrician if you suspect this problem. Also, whenever the unit is used in the sinker configuration, check to make sure the unit is sitting level on the bottom of the pond.

If there is power present and the air temperature has sharply dropped, a thin layer of ice may form before enough heat can be added to the water to counteract the drop in temperature.

Have a qualified electrician install a properly grounded receptacle outlet, acceptable for outdoor use and protected from snow and rain, immediately adjacent to the location where the heater will be used.
Route the supply cord and locate the heater so it is protected from damage.
Do not use extension cords.
Inspect the cord before use.
Unplug the heater at the receptacle outlet when not in use or before removing from pond.
Store heater indoors after winter season.
Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) (#25785) MUST be used to protect against shock hazard.
