Pond Haven Vanguard Pond-Spa Surface Aerator & De-Icer (3/4 HP)

Bring clarity, circulation and year-round protection to your backyard water feature with the Vanguard Pond-Spa Surface Aerator & De-Icer from The Backyard Bliss. Engineered for quiet, efficient performance, the Pond-Spa raises dissolved oxygen to improve fish and plant health while preventing dangerous winter freeze-up under docks and boat lifts. Its discreet design preserves a natural pond aesthetic — no showy fountain spray — yet delivers powerful aeration and reliable de-icing.

Ideal for small lakes, ponds and large spas, the Pond-Spa features a durable marine-grade floating platform and energy-efficient 3/4 HP motor for consistent, low-maintenance operation. Customize with optional Bright White LEDs or remote-control color-changing LEDs to turn your pond into a nighttime focal point. Add the Bottom Draw Tube to convert the unit into a bottom aerator for full-depth circulation — the best solution for long-term water quality management.

Backed by a 3-year warranty and free consultation from our pond experts, the Vanguard Pond-Spa is a long-term investment in pond health, clarity and safety. Whether your priority is oxygenation in warm months, de-icing in winter, or both, the Pond-Spa gives you flexible, cost-effective performance in a compact package.
