Description
The OASE IceFree 4 Seasons is designed to help maintain a healthy pond environment during cold winter months by preventing the complete formation of surface ice.
Unlike heaters, it does not warm the pond. Instead, it keeps a small section of the surface open, allowing harmful gases to escape and oxygen to enter the water.
This natural circulation is essential for koi ponds and stocked garden ponds where gas build-up under ice can become dangerous to fish health.
The IceFree 4 Seasons can also be used in milder seasons as a simple water movement device, supporting oxygen exchange and improving overall pond stability year-round.

How It Works
The IceFree 4 Seasons floats on the pond surface and gently circulates water in a small area.
This movement prevents full ice formation in that zone, ensuring gases like carbon dioxide can escape while oxygen continues to enter the water.
