SLASHCOOL Upgraded 500-Watt De-Icer - Submergible Features
-
VERSATILE SUBMERGIBLE UTILITY DE-ICER - Provide both livestock and wildlife continuous access to fresh drinking water with this 500-Watt submergible de-icer unit. Designed for versatile use around the home or farm, this de-icer is perfect for 5-gallon to 50-gallon containers. Common applications include water buckets, small animal waterers, and birdbaths.
-
CAST ALUMINUM FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY - Don't worry about melting plastic containers and liners. This de-icer unit is tested and proven safe for plastic and structural foam containers. Made from cast aluminum, this de-icer unit is safer and more efficient than copper and Incoloy heating elements.
-
THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED 500-WATT DE-ICER Save on electricity cost and provide the right drinking water temperature for both livestock and wildlife with this thermostatically controlled de-icer. The thermostat will only activate the de-icer once the water temperature approaches the freezing point (35° F). And turns of once the water reaches the de-icer's predetermined "shut-off temperature" of 90° F
-
BETTER MINERAL BUILDUP AND CORROSION RESISTANCE - Mineral and other impurity buildup causes "hot spots" that will eventually cause the de-icer to fail. Diligent removal of this buildup is difficult especially in waters with a high concentration of calcium carbonate. To make everyone's life easier, this upgraded de-icer unit has a durable and efficient black Teflon coating film that provides high buildup and corrosion resistance. It keeps the de-icer working efficiently without

CAUTION: It is highly recommended that you only use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet. The said outlet should be in a weatherproofed location adjacent to the tank where you intend to de-ice. Always consult the included user manual for safety and maintenance guidelines.
About SLASHCOOL Upgraded 500-Watt De-Icer - Submergible
Know the right de-icer to use in your area and for your specific need. Most of the time, the malfunctioning of a de-icer is not due to a faulty internal mechanism. Improper usage is perhaps the most prevalent cause of either a sub par performance or total failure of the de-icer unit. This 500-watt de-icer is perfect for 5 to 25-gallon metal/plastic containers and automatic waterers in Zones 2 and 3 and for 25-gallon applications in Zones 4 and 5. For Zones 6 to 8, the 500-watt de-icer is perfect for 50-gallon waterers. This unit is a plastic-safe cast aluminum submergible de-icer. Meaning, you can use it on metal, plastic, and structural foam tanks without the need for a protective guard. The most common applications for this de-icer unit are on stock tanks, buckets, small animal waterers, and birdbaths. Other de-icer applications include preformed plastic ponds, ponds with liners, and fountains. Cast aluminum de-icers are near indestructible and more cost-efficient but just like other types of de-icers, cast aluminum is also prone to calcium buildup especially in areas with hard water sources. Vinegar and LimeAway were the recommended solutions but diligent limescale and rust removal are almost impossible in the middle of winter. Upgraded 500-watt de-icer provides a solid solution for this problem with a black Teflon (non-stick PTFE) coating film that resists both mineral buildup and corrosion better than other existing de-icer coatings. Experiencing problems with your de-icer unit? Common issues include the unit not turning on and the unit not thawing the water as per its function. For the first issue, the de-icer unit needs to be in cold temperature long enough for its internal thermostat to reset and activate the de-icer's function. To determine if the unit is functioning as it should straight from the box, you need to perform an "air test" (instructions on the user manual).
