Outdoor Trough Heater for Livestock and Animals
A protective cage keeps the heating element from resting up against any walls, which allows use in almost all types of tanks, including poly or plastic construction. It can convert from a plastic floating heater into a submersible water heater. To have it heat from the bottom, simply remove the float and let it rest on the floor of your waterer. It does come with a thermostat to turn off when not in use and reduce your electric bill!
