Product Q&A

Does this heater turn itself off and on with the ambient temperature? Or, should we consider also purchasing a plug with a thermostat?

You do not need to purchase a plug with a thermostat. Our Ultimate Bucket Heater is thermostatically controlled to keep the average water temperature just above freezing. They feature internal thermostats and will turn on and off as necessary to prevent the tank water from freezing.

Would it be ok to plug in this bucket heater with the water still frozen inside? Or could this action cause damage?

Can I use an extension cord with this product?

MET requires that all manufacturers put the extension cord statement “Do not use with extension cord” on every item that is MET listed by UL 499 standards. This is because they cannot test every extension cord on the market in conjunction with our products for safety. Also, MET suggests that an extension cord is not recommended as a permanent fixture and should only be a temporary solution when using any electrical product.

How long can a heated product be plugged in?

MET Safety Laboratories suggests unplugging the product if you leave your home on an extended vacation, as they do with any electrical appliance.
