This is a great heater! I have a lot of birds and we had a cold week where temperatures were -20 and windchills of -40 and it held up better than I thought it could, there was a layer of thin ice on top but the birds were still able to drink from a good sized hole that didn't freeze over and beneath the thin layer of ice was water! I have a black round rubber bowl that I use on top of the concrete bird bath with a rock in the bottom probably holds about 3 gallons of water ( I have a wildlife habitat) this heated rock stays in the bottom without having to hold it down with a rock. I wish the cord was a bit longer, but definitely not a problem. I will definitely be purchasing another one to have on hand.
This de-icer is the perfect solution for keeping our birds watered all winter. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
Like the way it sits in the bird bath, low profile and doesn't slide around. So far has kept the ice away with temps down to 10 deg F. Placed a few small decorative rock on top for the birds to sit on while they drink. Should use less energy compared to my old one because of built in thermostate. Very satisfied.
This Farm Innovators heated rock bird bath de-icer works very well for our concrete bird bath. The cord should be longer so you can connect easily. I recommend you get a cord protector to cover where your cords connect.
Works great in the birdbath==doesn't heat up the water, but keeps it from freezing == just what I wanted it for !!
When I picked up the item at the King of Prussia (PA) store, I was not impressed. Several areas need improvement.
This was a replacement for the same heater that went bad after 7 winters of use. I haven't used the new one yet because the weather hasn't turned cold enough. I'm hoping to get 7 years out of this one. I was happy to find this on walmart.com for a good price.
This seems to also warm water that is no where near freezing. And we've noticed that the evaporative effect is greater than without it, so water needs frequent replenishing. We rigged an extension cord and tried to 'squirrel proof" the set-up so the cords wouldn't get chewed on out of the water receptacle. It would be better if the cord were a bit longer coming out of the "rock."
If your winter temps don't drop below 20 degrees this heater works well. Not so after they drop lower. I had high hopes this would help keep the bird bath ice free but it's just not powerful enough.
My item was send to the wrong store. I wanted it to go to the store on Hudson Drive in Stow,Ohio. Istead it went to a store in Akron. Walmart com order #2677895-314377. I got the same item from Heywood without any problems. Would never order from Walmart com again.
