Farm Innovators FS-1 Ground Heated Bird Bath 70W

Product Description

The FARM INNOVATORS FS-1 is a ground-level heated bird bath designed to provide a reliable water source for birds throughout all four seasons, including freezing winter months. The unit features a concealed heating element embedded beneath a sand-coated surface, giving it a natural stone appearance while protecting the internal components. Thermostatically controlled operation means the heating element activates only when temperatures drop to levels where freezing is a concern, keeping energy consumption low at 70 watts of power draw. Licensed landscaping and grounds maintenance professionals, as well as property managers, typically handle installation of seasonal wildlife water features like this one.

The FS-1 is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor environments where ground-level bird baths are preferred over pedestal-style units. The sand-coated oasis design integrates naturally into garden beds, lawn borders, and landscaped areas. During warmer months, the power cord tucks away cleanly so the bath continues to function as a standard water feature without visible wiring. The thermostat-controlled design makes it practical for year-round placement without requiring seasonal removal in cold climates.

Key Features

• Concealed 70-watt heating element prevents water from freezing in cold weather
• Thermostatically controlled operation activates only when needed, reducing energy use

Compatibility

Designed as a standalone ground-level heated bird bath for outdoor residential and light commercial grounds maintenance applications. No specific system integration is required beyond a standard outdoor electrical outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward and does not require a licensed trade contractor, but the unit must be connected to a properly rated outdoor GFCI-protected electrical outlet in accordance with local NEC requirements. Place the bath on a stable, level surface away from standing water accumulation around the cord entry point. Do not bury or enclose the power cord in a way that traps heat or restricts airflow around it. Inspect the cord and thermostat connections at the start of each heating season before use.
