will this fit in a flat sided 6 gallon pail?
A shopper on Jan 14, 2015
Best Answer: Yes, I used it in a 5 gallon pail. My dogs pulled it out, however & chewed it to pieces very shortly after I got it. I use the Nelson Blue Devil bucket heaters. While a bit pricey, they work the best for me and are safer for dogs.
I am not sure. I have it in a 20 gallon round rubber tub and it works well. It is about 9" in diameter and would work in a 6 gallon round bucket. JD
It would fit in a 5 gallon bucket and sit on the bottom. We use it in a 20 gal tub and it works good in there.
I'm not sure what a flat sided bucket is. I works very well in our 5 gal buckets
Does it sit on the bottom of the bucket. Does it sink or float?
Best Answer: This is designed to sit in the bottom, and usually does (95% ofthe time)but it may float up if the electrical cord twists too many times. A plastic clip is Included to help with this, but I've found that a small piece of duct tape works much better.
This heater sits on the bottom of the bucket and comes with a guard that safely keeps the cord in place and from being exposed at the top of the bucket. I use one in a 40 gallon trough as well. Works perfectly.
It sit's on bottom of the bucket it does not float.
does it cut off if the water gets low?
A shopper on Dec 12, 2016
Best Answer: We are using ours for a third season now. If you don't put it in a bucket where the water can be drawn down from beside the unit, you should not have a problem. The safety cage will then keep an animal from drawing it below the heating element. Since it is not a "heater," but a de-icer, you shouldn't have problem since when the thermostat senses a few degrees above freezing, it's turns the element off. Wish I could be more concrete, but we haven't had a single issue with ours and it works great for the barn cats. Remember that it's a pail de-icer and not a water trough "heater." Hope this helps.
I don't know. We have several and they work great in our automatically refilling outdoor waterers. But their protective cage would keep them from harming anything if the water was gone. It might stay on and just use electricity. They aren't advertised as having an automatic shut off so I wouldn't count on it.
No - you need to make sure you keep water in it - but we ended up getting larger buckets than needed and it works well - these heaters have been a life saver! I would recommend them - just get a larger bucket! Hope this helps
No unfortunately they don't turn off if waterm gets to low .... suggest use in metal troughs as if water runs out they will melt plastic
No but the plastic housing keeps it from burning bucket
Not that i know. We are very satisfied with it
Would this work in a small resin fountain?
Best Answer: I took the floater part off of it so it would sink to the bottom and used it in a 5 gallon bucket with chicken founts on the bottom...it has worked great for me...it has been perfect in my chicken coop...never had anything happen to the bucket...I think it would work well for you...but you may want it ti float...it depends on what you want...hope this has helped you... Sincerely, PJ Miller
Not sure what you mean by small but, this heater is fairly large and would be too tall, for example, a standard bird bath. It's about 5 or so inches tall. I think if your small resin fountain is at least 7 or 8 inches deep it might be fine. I use mine in a 40 gallon trough and it works great.
I would sure think so. I put mine in a plastic 5 gallon bucket (like what you'd get at a hardware store) with watering nipples (or whatever they're called) for my chickens in the winter and it works excellent. Very good, worthwhile product.
We just have a small fountain, would libe to leave it out all winter for the birds and squirrels. The water is in a well at the bottome and up to a holding place and then falls in a stream down to anotger holding space. Water runs all tge time. Just dont want it to freeze up.
I don't know why it wouldn't work, unless it don't fit in the fountain.
