Will it work If the water is too cold?

The duck will still float but there will not be a temperature indicator that says it's too cold.

Sorry I don't have an answer as I live in the northwest where the weather is mild most of the time. We leave our pump on all year so nothing freezes. If you drain every bit of water out of the skimmer including the pipes it should be ok as far as I can see. The ground around the skimmer will have to be relatively dry too so it won't expand if it freezes and crush the sides. You might be better to get an answer from someone who lives in a cold area.Good LuckGord

When it freezes below about 20 you have to drain it to protect the coils. That said, you may start the water and fire it up when it is below freezing, just remember to drain it once it cools off.... Our unit works on a single handle application, it just has to be set at a lower temp.

I had the same question when mine arrived a year ago. But after plugging it in just before freezing temps, it did the job just fine. The water doesn't even feel warm to the touch, which I'm sure our pet appreciates. So, it just works...

I'm not sure if would work in cold areas. You'd have to contact the manufacturer. It works great though in normal tempered areas.

Goodness! Guess that depends on how cold it is outside. It only gets "lukewarm feeling" when my hands are freezing. When the weather is not freezing or below freezing, it doesn't kick on. For instance, if it's 40degs. the water does not warm.

I'm fairly certain it would be destroyed if submerged since it has a battery compartment that is not sealed. A bit of damp weather is probably ok. Too small to stay upright in heavy wind. I haven't used it outside in snow, so I don't know how below freezing temps would affect it. Contacting the manufacturer would probably give you a better idea of the product's limitations.

It has a motion sensor so, under ice, it may not work well. Not to mention it is not waterproof. If you mount it high near the top of the cooler, it will work very well.

It depends on the the tempature. If it's really cold like it has been it doesn't work(like below zero) & you will have to use a snow rake. If it is hovering at 32 degrees or above it works fine.

As far as I know yes, but my water only comes out a certain temp here, I have no control on how cold it gets.

I would say no. I bought it for water aerobics at the 'Y'. It's OK for that, but I wouldn't expect it to make me warm in very cold water. Hope that helps.

I have not had any issue with using it in cold water. I switch off between warm and cold.

"Outdoor" is a loose term. I would prevent any water from coming into contact with the unit. However I believe the product would hold up to dust and dirt. Heat may degrade the magnet over time. The cold may not have any affect on it.

Sorry - I don't live in a cold-weather area so don't know. Ask the manufacturer.

I guess you could put warm water in instead of cold. I have never tried that, but should work the same.

I've never had this happen, and I've used it at temperatures below zero. But, I suppose it depends. If you're using it in the Arctic or Antarctic, then it probably would freeze some what. I bet if you're not out too long it would work at temperatures around -10C to -15C for a long time. Colder than that, and it might begin to freeze over a bit. I would check out the manufacturer's specifications and make sure that whatever temperature you plan to use it in is within the spec range.

it would depend on how cold it is --call the shipper and he will tell you for sure tho--he's very nice and will answer what you need to know
