For those who heat their misting water

[Hoj]

So I don't hear my water but seeing as many do and it's that time of year I thought I would share what I found.



Heater is built into the bottom of the buck has a built in thermostate and I designed to be out in a cold barn lol
Thought some of you might like it. I found them at a store called TSC

Well isnt that cool? I never knew a heated bucket existed.

Can you set the thermostat manually? I think buckets (and bird baths BTW) like this are set to turn on if the temp drops to freezing, but if its inside the house the ambient or water temp might not get low enough to trigger the thermostat.

Thanks for Sharing!

I will be tracking this down, if the price is right!

looks promising, quick google search gave me this

https://www.google.com/search?q=16g...45bb39e98e43a6&bpcl=35466521&biw=1920&bih=938

lowest price is $80 (different brand $60), a bit steep for a bucket BUT it is an investment


There is a 5 gallon available for $35...

I do believe the thermostat is adjustable.

why not buy a aqaurium heater? and put it in the bucket?
if those buckets arent for sale

Nice find!!!

I'd have to order the bucket online, but do you think I could drill a hole low enough for a mistking hose? I don't want to damage the bucket by drilling into some wires or heating plates.

I might just go with a fishtank heater to be on the safe side. But great find!

 

[Hoj]

You could drill in a hole low in the bucket. The heating seems to be from a plate in a bottom panel

Go to any store that has products for horses or cattle. That is what it is designed for. I can buy one about a mile and a half form my home but they can get spendy. I think my husband is going to send Hoj a bill for mine.

That's what I may do

 

[SarahcoadunatioZac]

Basically looking to use the bucket as a dripper? Or to heat water for misting?

 

[Sticktongue]

IF any of you in the US want to find one. Just got to a farm store. They have them. I know a lot of people that use them for their outside dogs.

However, i dont think it's going to do you any good. Its just to make the water not freeze. Not get it to 85 degrees for misting water.

Good idea though!
