• Heated buckets and dishes which require no set up other than plugging them in and filling them with water. They only turn on when needed so they are both energy efficient and safe. Many are also able to be used year round by hiding the cord in the bottom of the bucket.

• Stock tank heaters utilize your existing stock tanks by simply adding a heater to them. These heaters can be attached through the plug in the bottom of the stock tank or simply placed in the tank. There are both sinking and floating devices depending on the needed application.
• Heat tapes are an excellent way to keep water line and hydrants from freezing. They come in a variety of lengths and also only come on as needed. They are easy to install and can be left on the pipes year round if they aren’t in the way. Simply unplug when not in use.
• Heated bird baths are also available for your feathered friends. They allow the wild birds to have a readily available source of fresh water. There are also heaters available for existing bird baths that simply set in the water.

Always remember to thoroughly drain your water hoses after each use. Even a little water left in the hose can cause a lot of frustration. The easiest way to thaw a hose is to put it in your basement or a heated space until the water drains. Be sure to have a bucket or sump area to allow it to drain into.

Now you can enjoy the winter without the hassles of frozen water.
