Review: WOW!! - So far so good. We have an 18x9 pool set up in our barn. It is hot right now in Oklahoma but the pool is not getting direct sunlight and the water was hanging around 82-84. I went out on a limb and bought 2 of these tankheaters to try and extend the kids swim season. I am not sure how long they will last or maintain a swim-able temperature but within the first 24 hours the water jumped from 83-90.
Review: It works - We have had a tank heater like this for years. Our old heater finally quit (after 20+years). This new one is great. we have plenty of very cold days and nights 0 and below and the wind blows ALL the time. the water tank stays thawed and warm enough the horses drink plenty.

### ⭐ Bad product
*by P***E on January 20, 2025*

This heater is not made to last. Bought it in Mar 2022 and used it a handful of times since we dont get too cold where I live. Took it out this year 2025 since temps are ecpected to be in low 30s. The heater wouldnt work. Opened the cover and saw it had shorted out. Replaced the connector and still doesn't work. Two years old and used maybe a handful of times and its not working. Bad product. Hope they made improvements.
