Limited lifespan,

This review is from: Nelson 6200 Gulf Stream Bird Bath Heater and De-Icer (Lawn & Patio)
I'm on my second heater of this model and am searching for a different model. The prior one lasted about three years and now I find my bird water frozen solid with my latest acquisition from about three years ago. The fellow at the feed store tells me that is about its typical lifespan.The main issue I have with this model is that it is not very stabile in the pan and the heating coil tends to tip up above the top of the water level. I've tried epoxying the unit to the bottom of the pan, but even using epoxy intended for underwater use looses its grip after a few weeks.

The first one, exactly like this one, that I bought is still working, but I've been using it for about 18 winters so I thought I'd get a new one for the birds, and maybe keep two baths thawed. Maybe I'm not the ideal tester because we live in the northwest and our freezing weather is barely freezing, but this heater has always kept the whole bath thawed. I like this one because it's low profile and stays in the bath. Only once did a bird manage to knock it out (it was still attached, just sticking up out of the water). I like knowing that it shuts off when this happens.

This is a high quality product. In this day and age of inferior "cheap" goods, this one is not part of that group. Rugged construction, well thought design, and using an economical 200-watts on a thermostat too, makes this a 5-star product.Birds have a hard time finding a good water source during the coldest months, and providing an un-frozen bird bath is a sure way to earn points with your wild birds. Even though the water in your bird bath should be changed daily, keep an eye on your bath in the winter because this will cause the water to evaporate quickly (I would estimate 3/4-in in a day). You will be pleased with this heater. And, it is made right here in the USA!
