Can de-icers be used to keep my septic tank from freezing?
In the northern parts of the country frozen septic tanks can be a real problem. This is particularly the case during a winter season with little snow cover. In these extreme situations, homeowners can use a de-icer to help prevent a septic tank from freezing up. There is no guarantee that a de-icer in a septic tank will keep it from freezing up. However, many homeowners have tried this approach with some degree of success. If you wish to try a de-icer in your septic tank then we recommend the Premium Submergible De-Icer rated at 1500 watts. This de-icer is approximately 8-inches in diameter. For those situations where a de-icer this size might not fit, then try the Universal Drain Plug De-Icer rated at 1500 watts. Most stock tank de-icers have power cords 6 feet long. When considering a de-icer, please keep in mind this cord length and whether or not it will work with your septic tank. If returns are requested because the cord length is too short, then the customer will be responsible
