Can I use an extension cord with my bird bath de-icer?

Yes. I have been using an extension cord (generally a 50 ft. one) with my de-icers for 15 years and have never had a problem with them. I do have to get a little creative with my lawn chair placement to keep my chew happy Black Lab from getting to it. The most important safety precaution is to make sure it is plugged into a groundfault outlet.
