[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1644458, member: 37941"] You are referring to the floating kind? Or another type? Because the riser tube has only about 24-30" of depth it gets "partial" heat from the ground. But what that results in is a lot of condensation. That condensation just slowly builds up and freezes. Sorta like a melting glacier in reverse. Eventually it grows to the water pipe and overwhelms the heat tape on the water line. The light bulb idea is an old trick, but this waterer is small and with so much moisture I was wary of going that route. But, a stock tank heater . . . hmmm . . . I may have to think if I could make that work. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
