Thermopond 3.0 Pond Deicer

ONLY $ 79.98

I wanted to mention that the floating de-icer I bought from you guys a couple years ago works like a charm. My pond is only about a foot deep, but with the de-icer my fish overwinter in the pond! Great purchase.
Thanks again,
Michaela, Dundas, ON

Just a quick note, the heaters I purchased last year worked great, we had the coldest winter on record for the past 30 years, the two heaters kept the water open. Pretty good heaters!!!
Barry, Calgary, AB

Pond heater arrived fast and works like a charm even in -30C wind chill.
Gord, Ottawa, ON

I did receive my Thermo Pond Deicer very promptly and immediately put it into my pond.  Within hours it had made a hole in the ice and the fish were swimming around the outside and seemed to be enjoying themselves just like they had a hot tub!!!!  Thanks again for the exceptional service and competitive pricing.

PONTEC Marathon Pumps

STARTING AT ONLY $ 49.98

I received the Pontec Marathon 650 and hose kit yesterday and have installed it already - quite as expected (it's quite a 'gusher', I like the wrap-around cage to screen out large debris, and also the thermal overload protection) and I appreciate the fast service and low price.  Around here, much smaller capacity pumps alone cost much more - and with you I got the hose too!
Mike, Ridgetown, ON

I couldn't be more pleased. The pump (Pontec Marathon 800) is exactly what I needed. It arrived in only 2 days which is excellent delivery by any standards. I am delighted with your service and I will recommend you folks to everyone in search of pond products. Take a bow!

I've dealt with you folks on at least two previous occasions, and each time the service quality including concern resolution has been the best it could be. Thanks again so much for the extraordinary service....you certainly have gained my loyalty. I'll be back and hopefully the transactions will be much more straight forward in future. God don't make better pond people! Kindest regards,
