K&H Pet Products Bird Bath Heater, Super Ice Eliminator Natural Rock 80W — Thermostatic, Energy-Saving

The K&H Super Ice Eliminator is an 80-watt, safety-certified bird bath heater shaped like a natural rock that keeps outdoor birdbaths ice-free with low energy use.

Cold weather can deprive wild birds of a critical water source; the K&H Super Ice Eliminator provides a reliable, low-wattage solution that blends into the landscape and protects your birdbath from damage. Built with a durable enamel finish and thermostatic control, this submersible unit maintains open water in larger baths while meeting USA/CA electrical safety standards.

How does the Super Ice Eliminator keep birdbaths ice-free without wasting electricity?

The unit uses an 80-watt heating element combined with a built-in thermostat that cycles on and off only as needed, reducing continuous power draw. Its compact solid housing sits stably in the basin and directs warmth to the surrounding water, preventing surface freezing while minimizing energy consumption compared with high-watt alternatives.

• Thermostatically controlled heating for intermittent operation
• 80-watt power level balances effectiveness with efficiency
• Low continuous draw compared to larger deicers

Will it damage my birdbath or leave stains?

No — the Super Ice Eliminator is designed to be safe for common birdbath materials. The enamel rock-like finish resists calcification, rust, and staining, and the heating element will not burn or melt plastic basins when used as directed.

• Durable enamel coating prevents rust and mineral buildup
• Safe for plastic, ceramic, and stone birdbaths when submerged correctly
• Non-staining rock appearance that can be spray painted to match

Is the product electrically safe for outdoor use in cold conditions?

Yes — K&H safety-certifies the entire assembled product; the Super Ice Eliminator has been tested and certified by MET Labs and exceeds electrical safety requirements for the USA and Canada. The solid housing and professional certification reduce the risk of electrical faults in outdoor, wet environments.

• MET Labs tested and certified as a complete product
• Meets or exceeds USA/Canada electrical safety standards
• Designed for outdoor submersion with a sealed housing

How do I choose between the Original 50W and the Super 80W models?

Select the 80W Super when you have a larger birdbath or experience very cold winters; the higher wattage maintains open water in bigger basins and colder climates. For smaller baths or milder winters the 50W Original uses even less energy while still preventing freeze-up.

• 80W Super: best for larger baths and harsher winter conditions
• 50W Original: ideal for smaller baths and moderate cold
• Both models are low-energy and safety-certified

Who is this for? Homeowners, birdwatchers, and wildlife rehabilitators who want a low-energy, reliable way to keep outdoor birdbaths accessible during winter will benefit from the K&H Super Ice Eliminator. It’s especially useful if you need a discreet, rock-like deicer that won’t stain or harm common bath materials and has verified electrical safety certification.
