The information I have about this item is the only one I have.
Generally used for heavy duty applications.
Hi, I like this heater a lot. My guess is that it happens when the temperature goes below freezing, but I'm not sure exactly when. Automatically, it performs the task. The water bowls I use for my chickens are those large thick rubber ones I bought from tractor supply, which never freezes. They can be used indoors or outdoors so they are kept under a portion of the run that is protected from snow and rain. Moreover, I had previously used an electric blanket that was similar to this but it had an open bottom that I disliked due to the exposed elements (electric). It has a sealed bottom, so you can be sure that it will last a long time.
If you keep it protected from rain and snow, I don't see any reason why you couldn't. It has worked great for us for quite a while now and we have found no problems with it.

In the wintertime, our highs are often between 25 and 30 degrees -30F with even colder nights (coldest A 45F setting). There were no instructions on how to handle the freezing water, and I was tired of hauling 3 gallons of freshwater into the chicken coop twice a day through the snow. The item arrived in the evening and we weren't able to set it up before it got My mistake caused us to have frozen water the next morning because I forgot to bring it in. Set up on top of 2 paver step blocks in the coop (hay bedding), and used a heavy-duty stake and wood to secure it Duty at all times Despite the cold weather, the water melted within 12 hours of plugging in the extension cord. The system has been running for a month now and has never caused a problem. The water hasn't frozen, my back is happy because it's not hauling 3 gallons of water anymore, and my feet are happy because I don't have to walk through snow anymore! In fact, I love it, and my silkies love it too! I appreciate your help.
If you don't want chickens in your house any longer than you need to take a selfie with your favorite hen and post it to r/BackYardChicks, you can certainly keep them in your backyard. It is true, however, that there are a number of solutions available to prevent Alcohol was added to the chickens, but they ended up - You stand around aimlessly in the yard and uncomfortably listen to loud noises (don't do this, really). Our first attempt was to insert an insertable- A de-icer was found, but it only partially worked (ice still formed) and ended - You're covered with According to Brower, the AEB Automatic Electric Heater base seems to be working just fine. The building is situated under a 7-story building We are saving a gallon of water a day and have not encountered any ice buildup yet. I hope things go well!.
I have this heater as a base heater for one of my dogs, she drinks a lot and it keeps the water at a good temperature here in Colorado during the winter. I have used one as a chicken water base. It is a pleasure to be of assistance.
According to the manufacturer, the base works properly. The statement that it must be used indoors does not make sense Just means you can't place it in the part of the coop outside where it can be As far as I know, I have been keeping mine in the covered section of the coop, but the base does rust fairly quickly. I will probably make a small platform for it to remain This is the only heater that I have found that is safe to use with plastic containers. I could keep up with my 7-day schedule I kept my gallon plastic water container ice-free for several months.
This keeps the water from freezing even when the temperature drops to almost single digits without a problem. Also, it does not seem to use a whole lot of energy, at least I did not notice any noticeable increase in my electricity.
It says indoors, but I don't know how to interpret that. This is concerning. There is a very protected area in my outdoor coop where it is kept. My plastic chicken waterer that is 5 gallons is working just fine. The only heater I found that would fit a plastic watering can is this one. We will update the information whenever there is a change in the operation. There is one thing I would like to see a solid bottom. Rodents are the cause of concern. The system still works fine, though.
This didn't work, the water was fully frozen and the temperature was below freezing.
