Designed for versatile use around the home or farm, this de-icer is perfect for 5-gallon to 50-gallon containers. Common applications include water buckets, small animal waterers, and birdbaths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAST ALUMINUM FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY - Don't worry about melting plastic containers and liners. This de-icer unit is tested and proven safe for plastic and structural foam containers. Made from cast aluminum, this de-icer unit is safer and more efficient than copper and Incoloy heating elements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED 500-WATT DE-ICER Save on electricity cost and provide the right drinking water temperature for both livestock and wildlife with this thermostatically controlled de-icer. The thermostat will only activate the de-icer once the water temperature approaches the freezing point (35° F). And turns of once the water reaches the de-icer's predetermined \"shut-off temperature\" of 90° F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETTER MINERAL BUILDUP AND CORROSION RESISTANCE - Mineral and other impurity buildup causes \"hot spots\" that will eventually cause the de-icer to fail. Diligent removal of this buildup is difficult especially in waters with a high concentration of calcium carbonate. To make everyone's life easier, this upgraded de-icer unit has a durable and efficient black Teflon coating film that provides high buildup and corrosion resistance. It keeps the de-icer working efficiently without\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAUTION: It is highly recommended that you only use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet. The said outlet should be in a weatherproofed location adjacent to the tank where you intend to de-ice. Avoid using extension cords as it is can cause power drops that in turn cause the de-icer's poor performance. Always consult the included user manual for safety and maintenance guidelines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brand: SLASHCOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47160456871990,"sku":"B0CH7NCWRQ","price":48.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/2428\/2166\/files\/31cIZcT5rhL.jpg?v=1786231555","url":"https:\/\/herdlume.com\/products\/500w-trough-heater-stock-tank-de-icer-made-from-aluminum-with-teflon-coating-for-better-corrosion-resistance","provider":"Herdlume","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
