Default Pond Heater query

During a house clearance, I have gained a heater, which was still connected to the pond at the house; the owner had left it and just hope there aren't any Koi still in the pond.....can't see any as it's full of weed!

Anyway, the heater unit in question is an 'Elecro 900 series' heater, rated at 2kw, complete with timer and digital temp display. I have tested it and all works
I have given it a good clean out and is ready for re-use.

I was just wondering if anyone else had ever used these heaters? and is the installation relatively straight forward?
I have obtained a manual from the company's website Elecro Engineering - The Water Heating Specialist
and seems ok!

Any hints or tips would be appriciated. Cheers guys!

Hi Miles
There ok as long as it's under 3kw mine is 6kw and it was a nightmare to install you will need a new supply with me a complete new fuse box so hope it's under 3kw then you can just plug it in.
