It is important to move the diffuser from the deepest part of the pond.  If you have 6’ foot pond, move the diffuser closer to the shore to about 3’.  In the winter, the warmest water in the pond is at the bottom – which is where fish reside.  

If the diffuser is kept at the bottom of the pond, it will circulate the warm water and evenly distribute the cold water – disrupting the natural habitat.  Moving the diffuser closer to the surface also helps with reducing ice formation.
