Yer, but it has a filter, and is in a heated polytunnel (like a greenhose with plastic) Smile

you can either get a load of normal aquarium heaters, which is what i use on occasion for heating large koi vats or you can get very large heaters that work in the same way as external UV filters.large hot rod that the water passes on and around. but they are quite power heavy at around 7kw. i think. and not too expensive though

you could use pond heaters in the filter box less water volume to heat and the the warm water is pumped to the pond.

It all depends on how much water you are trying to heat. We sell pond heaters that start at 500w and go up to 8kw!
