Sinking Tank De-Icer, 1500 Watts

I purchased this for my father in Ft Bridger, Wyoming, to make tending to his horses in winter easier. At 93, he insisted on breaking the ice by hand. It has never been used (still in the original box). I have confirmed that it works by briefly plugging it in and testing the heated coil. They are currently selling for $60 (excluding tax).

TheSinking Tank De-icer operates at the bottom of the tank, where it is less likely to be disturbed by livestock, protecting both the equipment and animals. The strong, durable, stainless steel heating element is thermostatically controlled for efficient operation. Rugged, weather-resistant construction withstands the elements. The thermostatic control, coupled with thermal feedback, protects the unit from overheating. The thermostat is positioned above the heating element to ensure safety in low-water conditions. Each de-ice comes complete with a galvanized wire guard for use in plastic tanks. Recommended for use in 100-300 gallons of water. 6-foot cord with a durable anti-rub protector. LOCKNDRY compatible.
