I get a little bit of dripping out of my nipple waterer. Nothing a small catch pan or drip cups can't take care of.
Y'all have me curious now about cost of operation. I have one of these http://www.amazon.com/P3-International-P4400-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU
I'll hook it up and see...
At 1500 watts it should work. It's going to be expensive to run though. The purchase price and electric cost is going to be a lot more than aquarium heater. Think of it like running three brooder lights simultaneously.
why would it be expensive to run? Once it reaches it's whatever temp it's...
I just purchased a bucket heater from tractor supply

safe for plastic buckets, and puts the heat right over the nipples.
I'll let you know how it makes out.
