The 6' Round Stock Tank Saver is a simple, year-round solution designed to help protect livestock water from freezing temperatures, wind, debris and algae. The Stock Tank Saver floats on top of the water, creating a protective barrier between the water and the weather. Its domed design helps block cold winter winds and traps an insulating pocket of air over the water—similar to the way an insulated cooler helps hold temperature. By retaining more of the water's natural heat, the Stock Tank Saver can greatly reduce the amount of heat lost from an exposed stock tank. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSAVE MONEY ALL WINTER \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectric stock tank heaters can be expensive to operate during cold weather. A typical 1,500-watt stock tank heater uses 1.5 kWh of electricity every hour it runs. At approximately 15¢ per kWh, running one 1,500-watt heater: 12 hours per day: about $2.75 per day \/ $82 per month 24 hours per day: about $5.50 per day \/ $165 per month Over a 90-day winter, that can equal approximately $247–$495 in electricity for just ONE tank. The Stock Tank Saver helps hold the heat already in the water and protects the surface from wind, potentially reducing or eliminating the amount of time an electric tank heater needs to operate depending on temperatures, tank location and weather conditions. Have multiple livestock tanks? The potential savings can add up quickly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLESS ALGAE. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLESS SCRUBBING. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCLEANER WATER. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stock Tank Saver keeps working after winter is over. During warm weather, sunlight reaching the water encourages green algae growth. The floating cover shades much of the water's surface and reduces UV exposure, helping limit algae growth and keep your stock tank cleaner longer. That means: Less green algae buildup Fewer tank cleanings Less scrubbing and dumping water Less wasted water Cleaner-looking livestock tanks More time for the things that actually need done around the farm SIMPLE DESIGN — NO \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCOMPLICATED INSTALLATION \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimply place the Stock Tank Saver in your stock tank and let it float. Livestock can easily move the cover aside with their nose to access the water, and it moves back into place when they're finished drinking. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; BENEFITS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 6' round stock tanks Helps prevent ice buildup and freezing Blocks cold winter wind from the water's surface Creates an insulating air pocket above the water Helps retain the water's natural heat May reduce the need to operate an electric stock tank heater Can save hundreds of dollars in winter electricity costs Shades water to help reduce summer algae growth Helps keep leaves, debris and contaminants out of the tank Reduces tank cleaning and maintenance Easy for cattle, horses and other livestock to move while drinking No complicated installation Provides benefits winter AND summer One Stock Tank Saver.
