Koi Pond Heater

Koi can live in a wide range of temperatures, from 34 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Although, the extreme temperature ranges aren't necessarily the best for their health and happiness.

One of the harshest temperature ranged for Koi is from 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, known as Aeromonas alley. At this temperature range, some parasites and bacteria are active, while a Koi's immune system isn't. With the Koi Pond Heating System, it is possible to get through Aeromonas alley very quickly in the spring. Some Koi keepers avoid Aeromonas alley altogether, they keep their ponds above 50 degrees Fahrenheit all winter long. This can be costly, unless you have a well insulated pond.

The Koi Pond Heating System can be used in a multitude of ways:

To maintain any temperature
To keep the pond from freezing
To heat the pond up for healing sick Koi

How does it work?

Many companies pump the pond water directly into the boiler. This is not a good idea, buildup can occur in the boiler, reducing water flow and heater efficiency. The boiler itself will then have to be repaired or replaced, costing time and money. Not a good thing in the middle of January when the temperatures are sub-zero.

We use a closed-loop system with a heat exchanger. (It is much faster and far less costly to replace a heat exchanger than an entire boiler.) The heat exchanger it made out of Titanium, not copper, so there won't be any harmful chemicals that could possibly be leached into the water.

When we install the heat exchanger after the filter system, we put it on a bypass so that it can be completely turned off in the summer when the water is warm, effectively doubling the life of the heat exchanger.

We use Triangle Tube's Maxi-Flow Heat Exchanger. Here are some of its features:

Constructed of high quality corrosion resistant stainless steel (AISI316) or Titanium
Rolled formed to shape and then precision welded
Specially designed built in flow restrictor to assure maximum heat exchange
Designed to minimize pressure loss in the heating system
Leak tested to assure that they are totally functional
Compact in size and require a minimum installation space - light weight
Significant energy savings
Available for all types of swimming pools, spas and hot tubs
Equipped with stainless steel holding brackets
