Invest in a submersible stock tank de-icer to make winter months on the farm easier. The Farm Innovators Rubbermaid Drain Plug De-Icer keeps water from freezing during the winter, even in sub-zero temperatures. The sinking stock tank de-icer is custom designed to fit through the drain plug hole on All Rubbermaid stock tanks, and the cord exits out through the hole, unnoticed by animals. Easy to use, this stock tank de-icer is an essential farm tool.

Q: Need to use it with an extension chord to reach our paddock, what extension chord is recommended?

a month ago
1 Answer
  • CS Specialist
    A: We do not recommend using an extension cord if it can be avoided. However, if an extension cord must be used, we recommend a 14-gauge extension cord with a cord connect protector and plugged into a GFCI-protected outlet. The extension cord should be kept as short as possible. For example, if you only need 20 feet of cord, we do not recommend using a 100-foot extension cord.

Q: Does this have a ground plug

3 months ago
2 Answers
  • CS Specialist
    A: Yes, our model DPH-15 does include a standard grounded plug. However, we always recommend grounding the tank using a copper wire and a ground rod for added safety. We also recommend always plugging the unit into a GFCI-protected outlet to help protect against electrical shock.

Q: Can I leave the deicer in there when it’s not plugged in?

7 months ago
1 Answer
  • CS Specialist
    A: Hello, Kris Yes, you can leave the deicer in the tank when not plugged in. I would recommend you make sure you clean the unit to keep the lime and calcium buildup off, as this will void the warranty. Thank you,

Q: Can you use it in a bath tub to heat the water if so how hot does it get

9 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: No, the Farm Innovators 1,500W Drain-Plug De-Icer should not be used in a bathtub to heat water. This is an outdoor farm utility product designed solely to prevent freezing, not to heat water for human use, and using it incorrectly poses significant safety risks.

Q: My stock tank does not have a drain plug. Can I just drop this in the water for a while to heat it up and de-ice it?

9 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. No. If your tank doesn’t have a drain plug and you want a heater you can safely immerse, you should use a submersible bucket or stock tank de-icer that’s designed to sit freely in the water, not a drain-plug style heater.
