I would not have horses without these water tank deicers. I do not have to break ice in my water tanks. They take less electric than a 40 watt light bulb. I run 27 of these all winter long and my electric bill is not effected by much. We are talking less than $20 a month for all those heaters. I do not have to worry about colic, because the horses could not get to water, or drank too cold of water. These are better than sliced bread!

Pros: effective, fresh water all the time, no ice to break

Cons: none

THESE HEATERS ARE GREAT IN THE WATER TANK. IT IS EASY TO HAVE OPEN WATER FOR THE HORSES AND OTHER LIVESTOCK. BETTER THAN GETTING OUT THE AX.

Pros: A MUST IN COLD WEATHER

Cons: NONE

If you live in a place when the winters are cold, this is a must have for your water trough. sure beats packing water every day

Pros: thaws out the water

Cons: should use a short extension cord

We live in the northeast where by the end of October the water tanks start to freeze over. When I worked on a horse farm, the tanks were in pastures that were a mile or more from the barn. We had the water tanks hooked up to a spring fed pump and these worked great. No need to carry buckets of water to the pastures from the barn.

Pros: no more carrying water

Cons: none

What a great way to ensure your horses' water supply stays open--sure decreases the chance of colic during the winter! I wouldn't be with out them. Unfortunately, I seem to have to replace them every other year.

Pros: saves time

Cons: product life not the greatest
