Re: [RC] Most energy effecient water tank de-icers - Sisu West Ranch

If you want to cut down the cost of running a heater:
 
1. Make a cover for 2/3 or more of the tank top.  Include an extension (say a piece of plywood) that goes down below water level and keeps the wind out of the covered portion.
 
2. Purchase some plywood and foam insulation and insulate the whole outside of the tank and underneath.
