Farm Innovators 1500W Submersible Tank Deicer — Cast Aluminum, Self-Regulating Thermostat, Silver

The Farm Innovators 1500-watt cast aluminum submersible deicer keeps stock tank water thawed automatically by activating near freezing and staying safely submerged out of animals' way.

When winter weather threatens your animals' water supply, a dependable tank deicer prevents frozen troughs and the extra labor of breaking ice. This unit is built from rust-resistant cast aluminum for efficient heat transfer, uses a self-regulating thermostat so it runs only when needed, and mounts low in the tank with a protective cage and anti-chew cord to increase safety around curious livestock and pets.

How does this deicer prevent ice without wasting energy?

The built-in thermostat senses water temperature and powers the 1500-watt element only as the water approaches freezing, cutting unnecessary runtime. That on-demand cycling maintains liquid water around the heater while minimizing electricity draw compared with a heater that runs continuously.

• Self-regulating thermostat activates near freezing temperatures.
• 1500 watts provides strong, localized heat where water tends to ice over.
• Submersion design warms water directly, reducing energy lost to air.
• Durable aluminum housing improves heat conduction and efficiency.

Is the Farm Innovators deicer safe for livestock and plastic tanks?

Yes — a welded protective cage surrounds the heater to prevent direct contact with animals and to keep the element off plastic surfaces. The package also includes a heavy-duty anti-chew cord sheath so the power cord stays intact around inquisitive mouths.

• Protective metal cage isolates the heater from livestock interaction.
• Cage design keeps the element off plastic tank bottoms to avoid hot spots.
• Anti-chew cord protector resists gnawing from farm animals and pets.
• Submersible construction means no exposed hot surfaces above water level.

How and where can I install this submersible tank heater?

Installation is straightforward: place the deicer at the bottom of the tank with its protective cage upright, route the cord safely outside the animals' reach, and plug into a grounded outlet rated for outdoor use. The unit is suitable for plastic or metal stock tanks, troughs, and many outdoor water stations.

• Set the deicer on the tank floor so it remains submerged during normal water levels.
• Keep the power cord secured and away from feed lanes and livestock traffic.
• Use a weatherproof outdoor outlet or GFCI-protected circuit for safety.
• Measure tank depth and water volume; this 1500W model works well for typical farm troughs and larger domestic setups.

What are the durability and size details I should know?

The heater's cast aluminum body resists rust and conducts heat efficiently for long-term use in outdoor environments. It measures about 14" L x 14" W x 6" H and is designed to deliver reliable heating season after season with minimal maintenance.

• Cast aluminum construction for corrosion resistance and effective heat transfer.
• Compact footprint: approximately 14" x 14" x 6" to fit most stock tanks.
• Heavy-duty cage and cord cover improve longevity in farm settings.
• Simple upkeep: periodic inspection and debris removal recommended.

Who this product is for: Farmers, homesteaders, and pet owners who need a low-maintenance, high-capacity solution to keep livestock and companion animals hydrated in freezing weather. Ideal for people who want a rugged, thermostatically controlled heater that sits out of the animals' way, withstands outdoor conditions, and reduces the time spent breaking ice or refilling heated buckets.
