What does the bottom look like? Is it sealed?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 11, 2025
The bottom of this product is sealed. This is an image of the bottom.

can you use plastic waterers on this heat base???

Answer by Chewy • Oct 29, 2020
This heated base is designed for use with double wall metal fountains and other metal containers only.

Can I use a 60 ft extension cord with this product?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 28, 2023
Connecting the unit to an extension cord over a long distance will result in fewer volts and less power. For example, if the voltage drops from 120 VAC to 105VAC while the amps remain the same, the wattage (power) will automatically drop. (Ex. 105VAC x 8.5A = 892.5 watts compared to 120VAC x 8.5A = 1020 watts.) If an extension cord is used, it should be a heavy gauge 3 conductor, designed for outdoor use only, and as short as possible.

Could you tell me where I can buy a replacement thermostat switch for this item?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 01, 2021
At this time, the manufacturer does not have replacement parts for this heated base.

Hmmmm, somethin' ain't right.

I just plugged this in for the second season and it's not working. I don't think we should have to replace these every year.

It works

I had a heater from this company that worked well for several years. When it eventually died, I replaced it with a different brand that did not even heat up enough to keep my hens water from freezing. Went back to the Farm Innovators heater and am fully satisfied. I hope it lasts as long as the first one.

We just got this. After the recent cold snap, we had to tote warm water out to the chickens daily. Decided if we go with a double wall and heated base. Haven’t had another cold snap like the last but seems to be well built. Will post another message when we determine how it works.
