I used this in our small outside pond/water feature. I had it plugged in overnight and the temp stayed the sane when it got below freezing (23F). I have not had a good test of temps in the teens and probably won't until next year.

C'est super, garde l'eau dégelée dans notre stock tank de 75 gallons même à -30°C.

I don’t know why I didn’t just buy this trough heater from the get go. My playful thoroughbred trashed the floating style within a week. Keeps my whole 150 lb tank thawed and kind of warm. Probably more than we need, but ready for the real cold!

4 ⭐️Only because when it suddenly dropped to -28C The product wasn’t able to cope. The surface got frozen and over the heating element only the ice was melted. But after the wind slowed down it worked perfectly.

I use this in a small (25 gal) plastic tank. It works perfectly with no harm to the tank. In the winter I attract more birds with a water source than with food. I have had a dozen robins flock to it at times. Not all birds eat seeds at my feeders but they all use the watering hole. It is funny to see robins in 5 degree snowy weather all getting a drink. Here in southern Illinois not all robins leave for warmer temperatures.

This is the second one I have bought in 6 years. Unfortunately my first one died on me so I bought another one. Heats a large water trough easily. Does not burn the horses and has a safety wire around the cord. Watering in the winter would be awful without these. Definitely 5 stars!

This is the only heater I've found that keeps up in our climate... I can get them locally but the price here is better... my water is very harsh so I have to swap them out to clean them regularly. I like being able to have spares.

I love the heavy, rugged design. It sits well in the bottom of the tank and keeps water from freezing. Great product.

We've bought and used countless submergible de-icers on our farm through the years. A good portion of them were junk, some were pretty good and only one will I say is good quality, this Farm Innovators deicer. With that said, I don't consider it great. Great to me is one that would last 10 years or more. Unfortunately that is very rarely the case. We long ago came to expect that we would need to replace them in the 5-7 year range. We have had a couple last about 10 years. Though for the time and effort it saves in keeping the water troughs open and the initial cost, its well worth the money. We have used them in 40 gal tanks up to 150 gal ones. The temperatures here in the winter are well below freezing and dip into the minus temps a couple times every winter. These de-icers have no trouble keeping the water open for the animals. We have 4 different tanks that we put one deicer in each. There are complaints in the reviews about them not working after a short time. This has happened only once for us in the 20 or so we have bought through the years. We find them very reliable and they are the only brand we will buy. If you are going to use them in a plastic tank, you might want to place the deicer on a couple of bricks to keep it off the bottom. One plastic tank was ruined from it melting through the bottom. I feel that it was an extreme isolated case, but setting it on bricks is worth the peace of mind. Hope this may be of help in your decision making.

Its hard to complain about this item when its -20 and your not carrying 5 gallon buckets of water for your horses.The Good...- ( were in Alaska ) When its -20 in a 100 gal rubber maid plastic tank the water is ice free. ( probably 75-50 gal in tank )-Has coiled ( I assume zinc over steel ) cable protector for those horses that play with cords cord is also long enough to make it out of deep tanks and very stout.-stand offs keep it off of bottom of tanks ( can be used in rubber maid tanks )-sits on bottom of tank ( our horses used to throw out the float type ) i think this one has a thermal protection in case that does happen ( not confirmed )The Bad...- I wish there was a way to modify the thermostat ( I don't know the exact temp but our water is very warm say 40°+) i'd like it only above freezing not a problem with one horse but if you have 15....Comments:please note this is 1500 watt, if you have one circuit and you string a bunch of these together expect to pop a fuse. ( should not be an issue most of the time but below zero these things come on a lot )-there were some comments about longevity, this is a great unit ( above par with other units ) its not stainless steel and it does have a cord on it, we've gotten about 3-4 seasons on our last one before it died ( and we ordered another one, and we will again in 4 years... )-costs... its 1500 watt, if you live some place where its cold and this is on all of the time its like having 15X 100 watt bulbs on. its not bad, its whats required to keep it ice free when it has warmed up the water enough it will turn off. ( other have given this a low rating because of the power usage, if you only need a 250 watt one your ordering the wrong one... this is the monster truck of water heaters. ( some may need other may not )
