Heating a Koi Pond

Winter in the UK (and Europe) can be very long and harsh for our Koi, an increasing number of Koi keepers are heating their ponds for the following reasons:

• Very low temperatures are avoided - causing less stress and associated health problems - Temperature fluctuations are avoided once again causing less stress to your Koi

• Koi emerge from the long winter into spring considerably stronger and reducing mortality rates at this time of year when they most often occur

• Your Koi's immune system is not suppressed

• Biological filter systems remain active throughout the winter months avoiding the long start up process in the spring.

• Last but not least heating your pond allows the Koi keeper to enjoy their hobby throughout the winter months.
