I have a galvanized metal tub (I think it holds probably about 10 gallons) and the base would be larger than the heater would this work????

We used it for several winters and it worked fine for a waterer that fits..Probably depends on the outside temperatures in the area you live in and also how much water you are heating.

Honestly no. I don't think it would. I had a five gallon metal waterer (the one that goes with this) and over the winter there would still be ice on the top. Also this heater only lasted a couple months. I was very disappointed.

This device works great. I believe that you would have no problems at allI have a 15 gallon plastic barrel but am planning to use one of these and an immersable also. With metal it should conduct the heat better

Hi Sandra, We had a very rough winter here last year, and the heater only lasted for a couple of weeks. If you're in an area that typically has mild winters, I think it would work, as long as it was on a flat, stable base.

It should work just fine. A couple of things you might want to keep an eye out for, though... One is that if the waters is too small, it might be possible for the birds to come into contact with the hotter parts of the heater, in the center. It does get pretty warm. At least mine does. The other is that a smaller waterer might evaporate off more quickly. But if you are checking a couple times of day anyway, I would think that would work fine.

You will need to get an 'on demand' heater and some plumbing. I have used mine hundreds of times and it still works, but it was not meant for more than 5-10 gallons, and a severe hazard sticking this in your tub anyway.

My guess is that because the pressure is less than in home plumbing, this would work. It might be hard to wrap it tightly around small flexible tubing. This needs to be stretched and wrapped tightly.

Yes it will 'cus thats the tub I put mine in. Wife loves it but only "down side" is that the heater runs anytime the pump runs. Makes the water pretty hot if a person likes to soak with the jets on. Its an easy fix if you do BEFORE the installation of the tub though.

Not real sure, but might be able to attach a tub to the metal tub going into canister and running tub into a hole in top lid of 5 gallon bucket lid. I think it's like pressure fed.

I'm not sure about a tank that small. As long as there is enough water to cover the heater and keep it cool I'm sure it would work.If you decide to try it I would recommend getting a submersible thermometer and monitoring the temp to ensure it doesn't get to warm.

Holly you need to have atleast 100lbs of presure to opperate your heater properly.. the normal size of the copper tubing is atleast 1/2 inch.. your heater won't opperate on a regular lp tank like you would hook up to a grill.. plus you must have a regulator from the tank to the heater... good luck

It should work. The heater would be my only concern because there would be no place to attach it so it would not melt the tub.

It has a regular propane attachment so it shouldn't matter what size tank you sit it on. The only issue I can see is that the heater would sit perpendicular to the ground. I'm not sure how that would effect the operation.

Probably, but I think if you read the other reviews, some of them may give a better idea, Aside form that the size is listed. Also you do not say what depth you have to work with? I think it should be just about right though, because the overn needs a few inches around it to function properly. Mostly because the convection feature does generate Heated air!

I have to say I am not certain but I think it would be risky to try and use on another manufactures tub unless they tell you it fits. I say this because the heater is designed to fit exactly in place of a section of PVC incorporated in the American Standard tub plumbing that has a coupling on each end to facilitate removal.

No problems. Looking at the bar I think it would go to an inch. Just measured it and we have a four inch tub. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure what temp this would hold. I have it in a one gallon plastic tub and it does a phenomenal job of keeping it from freezing. I think there are different wattages of this product; look for the higher wattage ones and see what the descriptions list for its capability. There are several different ones on Amazon.

i hav a 5 gal tank, but for a 20 gal i would say no ..u need a more powerful heater..but ok for a 10 gal.

I would say yes - I had mine in a one gallon plastic tank with no problems. FYI - when you change the water, make sure you unplug the heater, even if it's just going to be out of the water for a little bit. It will overheat pretty quickly and quit working. Voice of experience :-(

not sure, i use this heater for a floor heater and it works great, with the application that you are talking about, you may not have enough flow with a heater this big.

I think so, as long as it's metal. The heater is probably 2 inches bigger in diameter than my three gallon double-wall waterer. It could surely handle a larger waterer.
