Ultimate Floating or Submersible Stock Tank De-Icer

I bought this heater to go in a small 60 gallon oval tank. It works perfectly in that tank. The only thing I don't like is that the cord assemble maintains a permanent curvature and makes it hard to anchor in one position if the water level drops.

i like that its plastic. i like that it can float or be Submersible. the cord protector is a great feature. the price is right too. up to buying this one, i used the ones that have the wire protector around them and they rust and come apart. they cost about the same too based on per-wattage. i plan on replacing the others with these as needed.

We have purchased about a dozen of these over the past three years. A great concept--variable wattage selection--but a design failure. It does't take a PhD in engineering to figure out what is wrong...but I happen to have a PhD in engineering. The seal on the internals of the heater fails in short order and you are completely out of luck at that point. Sure they have a two year warranty but on a big farm who can keep track of the receipts for a $35 item? C'mon...combines cost $350,000. It's just a shame because it was a great idea to save energy, but as another person said we'll just go back to old school and the 1,500 watt clunker.

i have owned lots of stock tank heaters but for the money this is a very functional and easy to use heater

We bought the 1500 watt de-icer last year. We have two 110 gallon stock tanks. In one we had an air bubbler. It was suppose to keep the water from freezing, because moving water doesn't freeze! Well, it had a frozen bubble of water over the entire tank. The tank with the Utimate stock tank de-icer did not freeze. I also like the options that come with the de-icer. The guard is wonderful also. We had a different de-icer that broke because of the goats. This guard seems to be bullet proof. We love it. This year we bought two 750 watt de-icers, because our electric line is not strong enough for two 1500 watt de-icers. On the box there is a terrific grid that shows the winter freeze lines. The two 750 watt de-icers should keep both stock tanks ice free. Will write back if they freeze over.

I have been using this particular brand for several years and it works great. I like the fact that it has different wattages for different sized tanks. Saves me on my electrical bill:)

I bought this for my bulls water tank. They don.t pull it out of the tank. The water is crystal clear and NO ICE!!! LOVE IT!

Bought this over a month ago and love it. It is smaller than older tank heaters yet works well. Last winter my mare would not drink out of a tank with an older, large, unprotected tank heater but she drinks without a problem from the tank with this heater floating in it.

I've used these stock tank heaters before and they usually last for two years. The 750W one I purchased in January stopped working after less than three weeks. Quality control problems at K H Pet?

I have had 3 of these in the 750 watt size and they don't last. The 1st one lasted about 3 months. The second didn't even last a full month. The third one now has an internal short that causes it to trip the GFI outlet. I am now back to using the 1200 watt heater I have used for over 8 years.

Bought this for a friend and had it shipped directly to her. Fast shipping, no problems, works great.

This is the second KH de-icer purchased.  LOVE these, and they do what they're supposed to do.  The first one is still being used after three seasons, but, needed to buy another for an extra stock tank.  Although our winters aren't as harsh as other parts of the country, we do get very cold temperatures where the tanks do ice up here in Georgia.  These have the option of the different wattage, for the size of the tank and where one lives.  Not all de-icer's have that feature.  I highly recommend KH de-icer's.  

I am really happy with this deicer. Love the multiple uses it can do. Reliable. Well thought out product. Have had horses for 30+ yrs and this is the best yet.
