will the 1500 deicer keep 275 gallons warm?

No. These deicers only warm enough to keep a hole in the ice open. This allows air exchange to keep the fish alive.

I have a 46 gallon cichlid tank and I bought a 300 watt heater. With the adjustable temperature control, I am able to keep it at a steady 78.4 degrees.

I can't say for sure, but certainly not enough that you notice it on a household light bill. The tank is pretty well insulated, considering it's holding 200 degree water and only feels slightly warm.

Hello Corpus,Thank you for your question. Your pool is 1440 gallons. According to the sizing chart on the manufacturer's and our website, this heater is much too powerful for you. I recommend the Ecosmart SmartSPA 5.5 which will heat your pool by 20F in 12.4 hours. After it reaches your desired temperature, it will maintain that temperature easily.Kind Regards,Ross

Mine has kept a 25 gallon uninsulated plastic basin completely ice free with the temps in single digits. Not sure what temperature the water is, but it is still cold to touch.

No, The Warm Water Will Need To Circulate Through The Pump To Keep The Inner Lines From Freezing. You Would Have To Have The Pump On The Entire Winter With ThIs Heater

Water is still liquid at 35º, so it will work just fine. My pump has not been out in freezing temps so far this year, but the literature says it has a thermal protection device to protect it. I will have to wait and see, but so far it works great.

The only way I know if the deicer is working is if there is ice formed all the way around it, I wiggle the cord and if it is floating freely, it is working. The heat is on the underside so there really is no other way that I know to check it. Just don't let snow build up on it as it make cock sideways or sink.

Yes. I've had my unit for over a year and keep it on 24/7 on the "keep warm" setting. I just keep refilling it when it runs low. I've been very pleased with this unit. The only cautionary advice I would offer is to get some sort of cloth urn cover because even with the "keep warm" setting, the urn itself (and also the water) remain ultra hot.

A five gallon bucket fits on it, but whether the heater could heat that much water to keep it from freezing would be something to test. The manufacturer suggests a 2 1/2 gallon metal waterer.

As I bought mine a few weeks ago, I don't have a full winter's use of it, yet. We've had very cold weather and relatively lots of snow in southern New Jersey. It's done the job. I put a water-resistant cover where the heater's plug connects with the extension cord. The less expensive deicers I've had in the past haven't lasted more than 2 winters, but this one seems much sturdier.

I have a 30 gallon tank and it maintains 64 degrees like a charm. I would guess that even lower temps are very achievable.

Hi Richard. I have the 150w for my 75g and it is more than I need for my system. Bare in mind that I live in California and the weather does not get drastically cold. Good luck!

That's the exact purpose I bought a medium one for... works great!! I have 7 hens and have kept their water unfrozen by putting a medium zoo med heating pad under their red/white 3 gallon waterer and also under their water tub (I switched to the tub after the red/white waterer kept leaking). Now it's perfect. I have a 4" thick paver as my foundation, then goes on the heating pad, then the waterer. No leaks. No ice. Just happy chickens.

I have two pannels for 5,000 gallons, and it is not that warm, you should use around 6 pannels

I have this chiller cooling a 55g reef with a 30g sump. I run 2 150w metal halides and it keeps the tank within a two degree swing between 76-78 degrees. Before I added I was creeping over 80-81 with fans blowing on the water surface.

I don't believe it will. i had it in a 175 gallon tank in my greenhouse (unheated) and it got down below 50 degrees in the tank when outside temps were 20 degrees. it has a good thermostat and you could use 2 of them to be on the safe side
