Your my kind of enabler Sounds like the beginning of a great adventure!

I'm in Utah County. At first I checked the water every day it was below freezing just to see that it was coming on and make sure the light was on, and all was well. After that I just checked it as I changed the water and on extreme cold days. Checking it at a glance while visiting the girls...

Deb, sorry I just saw your question. I'll check in the morning- we got it at Ace Hardware. Dawn

I'm with you- I love my BriteTap. The heat tape I got has a lil light that comes on when it's using power. So at a glance I know if it's on :) ok ol' man winter- I'm a ready for ya!!!

A separate water for the summer was the plan- but the reality was I just unplugged it. The girls don't mess with it at all, so we'll see :)

Sorry I didn't answer right away. I'm not on backyardchickens.com very often these days, but I did run out and measure and it's about 20.5 inches center pole to center pole and then the hardware cloth wrappes around the outside making it about 22 inches at the ground. I don't think there's any...

Yes as far as I know. It works off a automatic built in thermostat, so I won't really know if it works again until gets cold enough- but everything looked good when I shut it down last year and I'm hopeful :)

Yes all my girls are the same size. I'm confident you'll find your solution- good luck and keep us posted

I can only add that last winter was very cold- the unit we put together worked like a charm! It came on automatically when the temp went below 32' My BriteTap never had a leak or drip. So I dident worry about frostbite and never noticed a problem. I would think a fountian the girls could splash...

We found a heat tape fix for the Brite Tap. We had below 0 for many weeks, last winter here in Utah and no frozen water. My setup is such that I have to have my water station in my covered run not coop. I love my Brite Tap really wanted to use it. I know this is NOT recommended by Brite Tap or...

Wonderful! we'd love to see pictures of your finished project!!! Have fun!

A must save!

So I found a fix... We've been freezing with sub 0 temps off and on for weeks here in Utah and no frozen waterer or nipples. My setup is such that I have to have my water station outside in my covered run, not coop. I love my Brite Tap really wanted to use it. (No open water for the girls to...

My BO lays a tan/ pink egg with odd dark speckles...

Still LOVE this Brite Tap fix for freezing temps! I was going to add pictures 8 day ago. Life cought up with me as did continued sub o temptutes. Pictured is a thin layer of ice from the inside of the 2.5 gal iglo cooler. The majority of inside water was liquid. The clear water reservoir has...

I wanted to add that I did clip off the some of the ends of the zip ties. I'll add a picture tomorrow...

Update- we have had below freezing temperatures off and on for a few weeks. Our girls are doing wonderful and the modifications to our BriteTap is holding up great! We have a second BriteTap in our second run, closer to the house that I bring in almost every night as there is no power near it-...

Thought I'd add that the heat tape plug has a light built in so you know when it's on... And I got the heat tape at Ace Hardware for about $22.00. I looked on line too but it was cheeper at Ace. They can cut you a piece of pipe too if ya need it :)

So I found a fix... We've been below 0 for a week already here in Utah and no frozen water. My setup is such that I have to have my water station in my covered run not coop. I love my Brite Tap really wanted to use it. I know this is NOT recommended by Brite Tap or Easy Tape but it's working...
