Bird Bath Deicer Saillong Heated Rock 80W Submersible Thermostatic

Description

Product Overview

The Saillong Bird Bath Deicer Heated Rock is a purpose‑built, submersible utility heater designed to keep outdoor water sources free of ice throughout the winter months. Powered by a reliable 120 V, 60 Hz source, the unit delivers a steady 80 W of heating power, allowing water temperatures to rise quickly and maintain a liquid state even when ambient temperatures dip well below freezing. Constructed with a high‑density aluminum base and a thick aluminum liner, the heater offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, rust, and the pecking of curious birds. Its compact dimensions—5.51 × 4.53 × 1.18 inches—and lightweight design (1.15 lb) make it easy to install in a variety of containers, from traditional stone birdbaths to plastic water buckets and small‑animal waterers. The thermostat automatically engages the heating element when the water temperature falls under 35 °F and disengages once it reaches 95 °F, ensuring energy efficiency while protecting the device from overheating. The product is backed by Saillong’s reputation for quality manufacturing and has earned a solid 4.3‑star rating from over 170 verified customers, reflecting its reliability and performance in real‑world conditions.

Usage

Designed for backyard bird enthusiasts, small‑scale poultry keepers, and wildlife supporters, this deicer excels in any outdoor setting where water must remain accessible during cold weather. Place the heater directly into the water of a birdbath, ensuring the aluminum base sits flat on the bottom for optimal heat distribution. The unit can also be submerged in larger containers such as garden ponds, water troughs for chickens, ducks, or goats, and even in decorative water features that attract hummingbirds and other nectar‑seeking species. Because the heater operates automatically, users need only plug it into a standard outdoor‑rated GFCI outlet and let the built‑in thermostat manage the heating cycle. The silent operation means it will not disturb the natural behavior of birds, while the robust aluminum construction guarantees durability against the elements, including rain, snow, and wind. For farms or homesteads, the deicer provides a low‑maintenance solution to prevent water from freezing, reducing the risk of dehydration and associated health issues in livestock.

FAQ

How does the thermostat know when to turn on?

The built‑in thermostat continuously monitors the water temperature. When the temperature drops below 35 °F, the heating element engages automatically. Once the water reaches 95 °F, the thermostat cuts power to prevent overheating.

Can I use the heater in a plastic water bucket?

Yes. The heater’s aluminum liner is safe for use in plastic, metal, or stone containers. Simply place the unit in the water, ensuring the base rests flat, and plug it into a GFCI‑protected outlet.

Is the heater safe for all types of birds?

Absolutely. The heater’s surface temperature never exceeds 95 °F, which is well below the temperature range that could harm birds. The thick aluminum coating also prevents beak damage, making it safe for songbirds, waterfowl, and even larger poultry.

What if the power goes out during a cold snap?

During a power outage, the heater will stop functioning until power is restored. However, the insulated aluminum base helps retain heat for a short period, and the thermostat will resume normal operation once electricity returns.

How do I clean the heater?

Because the aluminum surface does not calcify, routine cleaning is simple. Remove the unit, rinse with fresh water, and wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the aluminum coating.
