Bain d'oiseaux en plastique / acrylique

I have bought 80W deicers for years. They don't last forever, but they serve very well for a long time - even during the POLAR FREEZE years ago. I currently have 3. During the winter I add 2 gallons to every "birdbath" every day. The animals drink a lot. Heavy duty extension cords serve well with the green tubes which protect the connections.

This thing really does the trick and this 80 watt version is much better than the 50 watt one that pooped out on us after a couple of years. It also seems to lay flatter that the other one did. The only thing that can be a problem is that our cement birdbath has an island in the middle and sometimes it's difficult to place the defroster properly.

I bought this de-icer to replace one that I had for year that was made of metal and started rust. This de-icer is lightweight, easy to clean, doesn’t look like it’s capable of rusting, and fits below the water level of my birdbath. It’s smaller than my previous de-icer, but just as powerful, so that means the birds get to enjoy more room in the birdbath! The birds seems to like it, and it is certainly keeping ice out of. Now that I see how well it works, I will be purchasing a second one of these de-icers to go with my other birdbath!

Bought 2 of the Ice Eliminator Birdbath De-Icer 50 watt units in 2012. Just opened the packages and tried to use them in a birdbath Neither one worked. Buyer beware, cuz these things ain't cheap!

So far so good!! Will see in the middle of the winter!!
