Farm Innovators Submergible Tank De-Icer 1000W — Ice-N-Easy Protective Cage, Thermostatic Control

The Farm Innovators 1000W Submergible Tank De-Icer is a thermostatically controlled, bottom-mounted heater in a protective cage that prevents livestock water from freezing in plastic or metal tanks.

Engineered for farmers and animal caretakers, this economical submergible de-icer dissolves ice by sitting on the bottom of a stock tank and activating only when the water temperature drops to the thermostat set point. The Ice-N-Easy design houses the heating element inside a durable cage so the unit can be used safely in plastic or metal tanks without being nudged or damaged by livestock. With 1000 watts of power and a one-year limited warranty, it’s meant to provide reliable, energy-aware thawing through cold spells.

How does the de-icer prevent tanks from freezing?

The unit uses a thermostatically controlled heating element that remains off until water temperature reaches the activation threshold, then cycles on to keep an opening in the ice. Because it sits submerged at the tank bottom, it warms the water column from below to reduce surface ice formation. That approach keeps animals able to drink without the need for constant manual breaking of ice.

• Thermostatic control switches the 1000W element on only when needed to save energy.
• Submergible placement warms water from the bottom where animals drink.
• Continuous operation during cold spells maintains an ice-free drinking area.

Is this safe to use in plastic tanks and around livestock?

The de-icer’s sturdy protective cage and Ice-N-Easy construction allow safe placement in both plastic and metal containers. The cage keeps animals from coming into direct contact with the heating element and prevents the unit from being tipped or chewed. The design is intended to be stable and unobtrusive so livestock can drink normally without disturbing the device.

• Protective metal cage isolates the heating element from curious animals.
• Low-profile shape rests on the tank bottom, reducing interference with livestock.
• Suitable for plastic and metal tanks, large basins, and troughs.

How much power does it use and what does that mean for running costs?

The de-icer delivers 1,000 watts of heating power when the thermostat calls for heat; because it cycles only as required, total energy use depends on ambient temperature and how often the element runs. In milder winter conditions it will operate infrequently, while extremely cold weather will increase run-time. Choosing an appropriately sized unit and placing it properly in the tank reduces unnecessary energy consumption.

• 1,000-watt heating element provides robust thawing when activated.
• Thermostatic cycling reduces runtime compared with constant-on heaters.
• Actual energy use varies with outside temperature and tank size.

What features support durable, everyday farm use?

Durability is built into the Ice-N-Easy assembly and the heavy-gauge protective cage, allowing reliable placement in busy farm environments. The compact, submergible design resists being dislodged by livestock and can be used in a variety of containers around the farm, from troughs to basins. Farm Innovators backs the unit with a one-year limited warranty for additional peace of mind.

• Ice-N-Easy construction combines a sealed heating element with a rugged cage.
• Designed to sit on the bottom of tanks and remain unnoticed by animals.
• One-year limited warranty from Farm Innovators supports the product.

Who is this for: The Farm Innovators 1000W Submergible Tank De-Icer is suited to livestock owners, small farmers, ranch hands, and anyone who maintains outdoor water troughs or basins in cold climates. It’s especially useful for those who need a low-profile, thermostatically controlled solution that works safely in plastic or metal tanks and can withstand everyday use around animals.
