Fabulous for small pond
My pond is about 5 foot around and 3 foot deep with a waterfall over the top. I only wanted to keep the pond part unfrozen with my goldfish... It did fantastic in -17 ° weather in Kansas and the fish seemed to be fine and survived. I'm confident that if I chose to dig my pond out a little wider that it would continue great.
