Re: [RC] heaters for water tanks?? - Sisu West Ranch
It is not the heater that causes or fixes
the problems it is the installation. Make sure the safety ground (green
wire) is actually grounded (lots of old barns are improperly wired). Make
sure a GFCI is installed properly.
Between these two things they will trip before a
shock gets the horse. The molded in aluminum sinking kind are perhaps the
longest lasting. I beleive they now come with long enough legs to keep the
plastic tank from melting.
Don't string extension cords all over the place,
and especially on the ground, and expect things to be safe. If you are
unsure hire a licensed electrician. His fee will be less than a new horse
or barn or spouse or kid.
