    Frozen Side Mounted Horizontal Nipples - How to keep them from Freezing?

    OK, so another update...we have had 14 straight days of temperatures being consistently in the below freezing mark. Ranging from -5 (with a wind chill of -22) to in the 20's. My water has yet to freeze and the nipples have not frozen at all either. Love this product so far!!

    Frozen Side Mounted Horizontal Nipples - How to keep them from Freezing?

    I've taken the temperature of the water in my bucket with the 150W and it stays around 40 degrees which is perfect. The nipples have not frozen over yet. We have had -4 here a couple of nights ago.

    I was going to go for the 250W but when I saw the 150W I figured less electricity and less likely to pop a circuit. :) Hoping it works.
