Water freezing in winter - didn't freeze last year

[kabs]

I've also had bad luck with heated waterers. I've never used a base, but I've had a few heated hanging waterers that quit functioning in one way or another. My best and longest lasting option is an open heated dog bowl outside in the run. I carry out water in a different bucket, so I don't have to unplug a waterer and bring it in to fill anymore.

We do the exact same. Best option so far.
