Farm Innovators H-418C Tank De-icer 1250W Floating Submersible

Product Description

The FARM INNOVATORS H-418C is a 1250-watt tank de-icer designed to keep livestock water tanks ice-free during freezing conditions. Built from cast aluminum, it operates safely in plastic tanks and is thermostatically controlled to run only when temperatures require it, reducing energy consumption during milder cold spells. The unit converts between floating and submersible configurations without additional tools, giving service technicians and farm operators flexibility based on tank type, water depth, and installation preference. The 3-year guarantee reflects the manufacturer's confidence in its durability under continuous seasonal use.

This de-icer is intended for agricultural and livestock watering applications where maintaining open water access through winter is critical. It suits round, oval, and rectangular stock tanks commonly found in farm, ranch, and equestrian settings. The dual-mode design accommodates both shallow and deeper tank installations, making it a practical single-SKU solution for operations managing multiple tank types across a property.
