Product Information

Note about extreme temperatures: You may see icing on the surface of the water when temperatures are really, really low (like -20°F and lower), especially if there is wind chill to factor in. The amount of power required to heat the water is beyond what a simple submersible, floating or post-mounted small solar panel can supply.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Would just get stuck in the ice and even if you could remove it, the water below the ball would be frozen too. I wanted to get back with an update on the Submersible Aquarium Heater, how it handled consecutive days of deep freeze.I hesitate on that though, because you would want to be sure that whichever method used wouldn’t in some way interfere with the heater function or contaminate the water in some way. Looking quite attractive though is a low power air pump (5W) which I can switch on at night when severe frost is predicted and which will keep the surface free of ice with its bubbles. cord is an excellent design feature, because it keeps the connection to the extension cord suspended off the ground and up out of the snow and moisture.

A separate de-icer (like the one shown below) may not be able to keep the water ice-free if there is not enough water in the bath to cover the de-icer itself. Stainless steel is one of the safest materials to use for anything that will come into contact with humans or wildlife. After breaking the ice so I could place the heater in the fountain (the fountain bowl is about 3' across and 1' deep) the ice slowly melted as the heated water ran over it.My thought would be to see if you can see any small difference that might be the cause (since manufacturers can sometimes change their products over time. Secure a large glazed ceramic saucer or shallow basin to a patio wall or porch railing that gets full sun. This is a safety feature that will trip the outlet off if the de-icer or heated bowl overheat/burn out, something that is not uncommon with these products over time. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The appropriate weight allows the heater to be better kept at the bottom of the bird bath and will not move easily.

We kept a gallon jug of tap water inside the back door and made a morning routine of checking and replenishing the water level. The sturdy pedestal keeps the birdbath from tipping over while the ceramic construction withstands weather changes. A 1/8-inch galvanized steel panel, angled slightly upward and housed inside an insulated wooden pedestal, will warm a pie plate or another shallow basin fitted into a cut-out hole in the top of the pedestal. A de-icer built into the bath (like in the deck-mounted bath shown above) can get icy around the edges if the water gets low and it is very cold. Heated bird baths and de-icers offer many benefits to you, your backyard birds and even your bird bath itself.Reviewers commented: "The fountain looks just mind blowing and the installation was also very easy" and "the ceramic finish is very easy to clean, always keeping the water fresh. Installing a water feature like our resin birdbath is one of the easiest ways to invite feathered friends into any open space. And bird bath heaters are easy to clean and maintain, helping to keep the water clean and sanitary for the birds. First off, it has a unique and strong build which doesn’t collect lime deposits like most bird bath de-icers. This is a good thing; you want the switch to interrupt the circuit if there is a problem with the de-icer.

We are pleased that the manufacturer is located in the US and is committed to North American production.De-icers come in various sizes and shapes and some will fit better depending on your type of bird bath.
