That was not the case with mine. You'll be using it in the winter, and I, too, have one set up in the chicken coop, along with several heat lamps. It's plugged into 110, so I'm not sure how it would use so much power without a fire; however, the power bill might have been that high anyway because it's winter, not just the one de-icing season. icer.
The heater has a built-in thermostat that, according to my research, turns on when the temperature reaches 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Is it possible that the water temperature when it was working was lower than 40 degrees? That would be a problem if it was colder than 40 degrees back then and higher now. Also, I'm sure you checked the power at your outlet, but if you're using a GFI outlet, even the tiniest electrical leakage to ground will trip the GFI when the heater is submerged. (We're connected via a GFI, which has caused us some concern.) ) Because it's a fairly simple system, if neither of these checks resolves the issue, I'm afraid the heater has simply failed. Best wishes to you. Glenn
Yes, I have a 200 gallon koi pond and my work is excellent. I live near St. Louis, Missouri.
It doesn't actually heat the water; rather, it prevents it from freezing.

Update: 1/29/2017 I just wanted to let you know that a year later, this water heater is still going strong. Winter in Colorado comes early, and the water trough that isn't heated has been frozen for the past two months. In the trough with the water heater, there is no ice at all. I strongly recommend this product, and I believe that the addition of the bolts and copper wire has made a significant difference. br>br>I appreciate the gentleman who left a detailed review on how to keep this tank heater from rusting. I purchased all of the items he recommended and installed the bolts and copper wire myself. I had to give it four stars because nowhere in the description does it state that the tank heater must be assembled. It may appear self-explanatory, but my husband couldn't figure it out and was so frustrated that he brought it home for me to put together. br>br>The tank heater we received is not the same as the image in the description. The one described in the listing appears to be attached and holds together better than the one we bought. To hold the two pieces together, I had to twist a stainless steel rod between them. I hope that makes sense, and if I used the wrong words, I've included pictures. We use this tank heater to keep the ice from freezing in our horses' 160 gallon water trough. This is a fantastic product, and with the brass bolts, it should last a long time.
So far, the Tank Heater has performed admirably in maintaining the temperature of my water. I haven't had it long enough to say anything more than that, but it's around 42 degrees with an outside temperature in the upper teens. However, I had one just like it who believed that water should never freeze in a 100 gallon tank during the winter. I use my tank to water my cattle because it beats breaking ice in the dead of winter. My previous one, which I recently purchased, lasted me nine winters.
It never freezes because it keeps the water at a constant temperature! It'll be a lot easier to water our sheep this winter! It has a thermostat, so it won't heat unless it's submerged in water, preventing it from burning through and melting your stock tank.
This tank was purchased and installed by myself. icer 8th of March, 2019. April 30, 2019, is the deadline to put it away for the summer. I got it out of storage two weeks ago and put it to good use for the season. This season, it's already been used three times. My horses began to be zapped today. Is it true that it's been less than a year? What a knucklehead. Make sure you don't throw your money away. It took me several hours today to persuade the horses that drinking from the water tub was once again acceptable. 🤬🤬.
I was going to return the product because I no longer needed it, but the postage to return it is too expensive (at least 22 dollars), so I've decided to keep it for when I do. I'm hoping it works well, unlike a lot of other things I've bought and waited to use, only to find out that they don't work and it's too late to return them. br>I can't seem to find a way to inform the seller that I won't be returning the item.
This is what I use to water the donkeys in a bathtub. The water has never frozen, and the heater shuts down when the temperature reaches a certain level. After a few seasons, the ring will rust, but it is easily replaceable.
Years ago, we had something that looks to be the same. It was purchased at Agway and performed admirably. br>This one came from Amazon, and it never got warm despite temperatures in the teens and an ice-covered trough. br>We double-checked the outlet and found that while other items work, this one does not. We should've saved the box.
Since then, it has been working flawlessly! I live in Virginia, and with the cold weather we've had this year (cold by our usual standards, at least), not having to break ice every morning has been AWESOME. I use an old porcelain bathtub as a water trough, and I was concerned that a bottom-mounted heater would overheat while attempting to heat the entire structure. But, because my 30-year-old thoroughbred has the brain of a 2-year-old, I knew she'd 'play' with a floating heater, so I gave it a shot. It's fantastic, and I'd recommend it to anyone!.
