Gary, Is there already power to the tanks or are you looking for off-grid solutions?
If there is power then a simple tank de-icer has been working fine for me. I built an insulated box with a hole in the top for filling/drinking for a 30gal water trough, in hopes that it would use a bit less energy. I often come across this idea... typically after a cold snap and I see my electric bill (we have a few electric water heaters for animals)... I’m just not set up to put my water tank in a sunny spot right now. https://www.motherearthnews.com/diy/tools/solar-stock-tank-zmaz10onzraw Benn Kilburn SkyFire Energy 780-906-7807 > On Feb 10, 2020, at 1:51 PM, gary easton <g...@arp-solar.com> wrote: > > Hello Wrenches. > I have a friend in need of a way to keep stock tanks free of ice during > winter months.
