Questions & Answers

4 Customer Questions

can you use this to keep your cats food warm.

Answer by Chewy • Jan 24, 2022
This heater plate has not been tested for warming cat food. But as long as the plate or bowl comes in direct contact with the top of the heater plate, it may warm it a little. The heater plate is intended to keep water from freezing.

Can you attach it to hanging waterers or does the waterer need to sit on top?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 28, 2024
This product needs to sit on top.

What happens if the waterer leaks onto the plate?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 23, 2024
The plate is sealed for water ingress from the drinker. If water leaked onto the plate, just wipe it dry.

can I use this on the 7 gallon waterer ?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 29, 2022
This heater features adjustable brackets for fountains up to 11.5 inches (30 centimeters) in diameter.

this item works fine, except it has a flaw, which inevitably makes it worthless. The cord attaches to the plug with two VERY, very thin wires, which invariably break with any sort of handling. The way they are attached makes using any sort of electrical tape being to repair impossible. I don't know if the company can provide a replacement plug, as they have not answered their phone on Saturday. For the cost of this item, it sems a if lot having to throw it away.

It is actually working!

We were down to 14 degrees and the water didn’t freeze. So far so good.

Poultry Drinker Not So Hot

This poultry heater was not very effective. It did not keep the waterer unfrozen. I did use it with a plastic fount correctly. The yellow, moveable pieces came off

This poultry heater was not very effective. It did not keep the waterer unfrozen. I did use it with a plastic fount correctly. The yellow, moveable pieces came off and were not lockable. I wouldn't recommend this product.

Works Great!

This simple drinker warmer works like a charm. It does the job of keeping the chicken water containers free from icing up during the winter. It can be used inside

This simple drinker warmer works like a charm. It does the job of keeping the chicken water containers free from icing up during the winter. It can be used inside or outside the coop, although it struggled a little to keep it from freezing outside when temps went below freezing with even lower wind chills. Highly recommend!

Plug wire detached

After 8 weeks, the plug wiring detached. Was using for an outdoor metal waterer. For this price, I expected better.

Great For Montana Winters

We're on year two with our first one, and it's been great. Works well and is still the only water heater rated for double negative digits. Even when it hits -40

We're on year two with our first one, and it's been great. Works well and is still the only water heater rated for double negative digits. Even when it hits -40 here, this little heater does it's best to keep up and the water lasts most of the day before finally starting to ice up. Highly recommend!

Beware of this item

This is well made, low in power usage, keeps waterer open, and everything else it was made to do. BUT, due to the cold, the very thin wire and plastic sheathing

This is well made, low in power usage, keeps waterer open, and everything else it was made to do. BUT, due to the cold, the very thin wire and plastic sheathing crack open where the wire enters the base. Solution? Don't move the base when it's cold. Totally impractical. Better solution? Have the wire sheathed in heavy rubber for the last inch or two before it enters the base. This should last years, not months.

It's a water heater. It heats water

East to set up. Good for cold Vermont Winters. My girls have water all day long.
