I am using the sinking heater to keep the water trough for the horses thawed this winter. It is working very well even through extreme cold. Good price, good performance so far. I would recommend it.

Economical pond heater. Heater element tends to crust up and needs cleaning/scraping to maintain efficiency. Soaking in vinegar per instructions helps in the cleaning.

We at one time had to go out in the cold and break the ice for my dog's large 10 gallon tank of water. Not now, it keeps the water warm enough to keep all ice out of it. The dogs looked at it for the first 10 minutes and then never messed with it. They just enjoyed the unfrozen water. I did not want to take any chances because my dogs have been known to chew on things so I just run the wire inside a PVC pipe and no issues. It works great. Order now before it gets cold. Once it gets cold everyone will be buying them and it maybe a wait time before you get one. Thanks and enjoy.
