Poultry Water Heater Base

Keep winter water simple—and unfrozen. This 12V, 28W poultry water heater base clamps to round drinkers (up to 32 cm / 12.6″ diameter) and delivers steady, gentle warmth so your flock keeps drinking when temps dive.

Why You’ll Love It

• Universal fit: Adjustable clamp system secures to most round troughs/drinkers up to 32 cm.

• Frost-free to −20 °C (−4 °F): Reliable winter performance for real-world cold snaps.

• Energy-smart: 15 mm PU insulation underbody focuses heat upward, minimizing waste.

• Low-voltage safe: 12V operation with included AC adapter (28W, ~0.6A) for bird + human safety.

• Set-and-forget warmth: Even heating—no fussy thermostats, no overheated hot spots.

Specs

• Output: 28W heating element

• Voltage: 12V (adapter included)

• Fit: round drinkers/troughs up to 32 cm / 12.6″ Ø

• Insulation: 15 mm polyurethane (bottom)

• Operating range: to −20 °C (−4 °F)

Compatibility Snapshot

• Best with round plastic or metal drinkers that sit flat and make good contact.

• Not for double-wall founts that require dedicated galvanized bases.

• Use on a stable, level, dry surface inside the coop or a sheltered run.

How to Use

1. Place the base on a level, dry spot out of direct wind.

2. Adjust yellow holders to your drinker’s diameter.

3. Set the drinker on the pad so the bottom fully contacts the heated surface.

4. Route the 12V cable neatly; plug the adapter into a GFCI-protected outlet.

Safety & Care

• Low-voltage system: heater base runs at 12V; keep the AC adapter off the floor and dry.

• Use outdoor-rated cords; elevate connections.

• Do not cover the base with bedding. Keep vents and underside clear.

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth; unplug before cleaning.

• Never use with heat lamps (we don’t, you shouldn’t).

Energy Notes

Efficient by design: insulated underside + 28W output = frost-free access with minimal draw.
