Does the Kane Heated Dog Waterer use a lot of electricity?
This unit is surprisingly efficient. First of all, the heating coil is thermostatically controlled so that it operates only when necessary. Second, the drinking tray exposes only a very small quantity of water to the chilling effects of wind and temperature. The bulk of the water is completely enclosed inside the drinker – away from the energy-robbing effects of wind chill. The waterer operates at 175 watts; less power consumption than many household light bulbs. When used outside in the northern climates, you may notice snow accumulating on the top of the waterer. This is a good indication of just how little heat is being lost to the outside.
