Its automatic thermostat engages below 32°F and stops at 77°F to maintain liquid drinking water without wasting electricity. Designed for backyard coops, small farms, and seasonal use, the COICOTTC base balances reliable heating, a long power cord, and rugged construction for easy year-to-year service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this base prevent water from freezing in cold weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated thermostat monitors temperature and powers the heating element only when needed.
