A built-in thermostat cycles the heating element on and off automatically, maintaining open water without running continuously. The unit floats on the water surface, keeping the heating element at the water line where ice formation begins. Licensed electricians or experienced farm equipment technicians typically handle installation where hardwired connections are required, though most units in this class use a standard plug-in connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis de-icer is rated for metal tanks only and is not suitable for plastic, poly, or rubber stock tanks. It is used in agricultural and livestock operations where animals require consistent access to liquid water during freezing temperatures. Typical applications include beef and dairy operations, horse facilities, and other farm settings where large-volume metal water tanks are maintained through winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1500-watt heating output for effective ice prevention in metal tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThermostatically controlled operation reduces energy consumption by cycling on only when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFloating design positions the element at the water surface for efficient heat transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for metal tanks only — not compatible with plastic or rubber tank materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-year manufacturer guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with metal livestock watering tanks only.

Use a GFCI-protected outlet as required by NEC guidelines for outdoor and agricultural electrical installations. Inspect the power cord and housing for damage before each season. Never operate the unit in a tank that is empty or has insufficient water depth to keep the element submerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1500 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thermostatically controlled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal tanks only\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FARM INNOVATORS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: H-4815\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FARM INNOVATORS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524459266354,"sku":"H-4815","price":364.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e9ce16fc46d9d1172d1f4085d75b035d.jpg?v=1785449542","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/farm-innovators-h-4815-floating-de-icer-1500w-metal-tanks","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
