Meet the Farm Innovators 300 gal Floating De-Icer — a dependable solution built to keep livestock drinking water unfrozen when temperatures drop. Specifically designed for mid-sized troughs, this rugged device quietly rides the water’s surface, maintaining an accessible water source for cattle, horses, and other livestock during cold spells.
Constructed with galvanized steel, the de-icer stands up to barnyard wear and resist corrosion, delivering durable performance season after season. Its blue housing provides high visibility in dim pens or pastures, so you can spot it quickly during routine checks and feedings.
