2 Gallon Heated Bucket

Connecting the unit to an extension cord over a long distance will result in fewer volts and less power. For example, if the voltage drops from 120 VAC to 105VAC while the amps remain the same, the wattage (power) will automatically drop. (Ex. 105VAC x 8.5A = 892.5 watts compared to 120VAC x 8.5A = 1020 watts.) If an extension cord is used, it should be a heavy gauge 3 conductor, designed for outdoor use only, and as short as possible.

Our metal parts are dipped into a protective pre-coating material to help reduce the possibility of corrosion and/or rust. Nevertheless, rust may occur in areas like the Northeast where the impurities in the water can break down the protective coating. Roughing up the corrosion and spray painting the metal parts with rustoleum paint should stop further damage.
