Farm Innovators Heated Bucket HB-60 9-Quart (2 Gal) Green — 60W Thermostat-Controlled, Anti-Chew Cord

Farm Innovators HB-60 is a 9-quart (2-gallon) plastic heated bucket with a built-in thermostat that prevents water from freezing in cold weather.

When temperatures drop, outdoor animals need reliable access to liquid water. The Farm Innovators HB-60 heated bucket is built for cold climates: a 60-watt heater, automatic thermostat, and heavy-duty construction keep water thawed without constant manual intervention. Lightweight and portable yet durable, this bucket is sized for dogs and many small-to-mid livestock and designed to fit into daily farm and yard routines.

How does the HB-60 prevent water from freezing during winter?

The bucket uses a 60-watt heating element integrated into the base and a built-in thermostat that powers the heater only when temperatures fall below a set threshold. This combination maintains liquid water while minimizing energy use.

• 60-watt low-voltage heating element provides steady, gentle warmth
• Internal thermostat cycles heat on and off as needed
• Plastic shell resists cracking at single-digit temperatures
• Designed to operate safely outdoors in cold conditions

Is the HB-60 durable and safe around animals?

The HB-60 is constructed from heavy-duty plastic with a reinforced metal handle for repeated use. The power cord includes anti-chew protection to reduce the risk of damage from curious animals, and the bucket’s stable base helps prevent tipping.

• Sturdy plastic body resists impact and cold-induced brittleness
• Reinforced metal handle and connectors for secure carrying
• Anti-chew protected 5-inch heavy-duty power cord for added safety
• Low-profile heating design reduces exposure to curious noses and paws

What are the size and power specifications I should know?

The HB-60 holds 9 quarts (about 2 gallons) and measures roughly 12 x 12 x 11 inches, making it easy to position in runs, kennels, or stalls. It weighs approximately 8 pounds and runs on a 60-watt power draw for efficient operation.

How do I maintain and use the heated bucket effectively?

Place the bucket on a flat surface and plug it into a protected outdoor outlet or GFCI. Empty and clean regularly to prevent algae or residue; inspect the cord and handle for wear and keep the thermostat area clean from debris.

• Use a GFCI-protected outlet for outdoor safety
• Clean the interior frequently with mild soap and water
• Check anti-chew sleeve and connectors periodically for damage
• Store indoors during long warm seasons to extend lifespan
