[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 1095512, member: 7509"] The instructions say to remove the heater from the waterer when not needed. I have two Mirafount 3100's. I take the heaters out in the spring and put them back in at fall. One thing that may help is that the Mirafount heaters come in two versions, the standard 250 watt and an optional 500 watt. I use all 500 watt and have not had one fail since. I did replace a 250 w that failed. Maybe the 500 doesn't have to work as hard. Our dealer handles both the 250 and 500w. They look the same. I would try the 500w and take them out over the summer. Less lime buildup on them which cuts the heat transfer ability and they have to work harder. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
