It doesn't get the water hot, but it definitely keeps it from freezing. I bought this for my two outside dogs. I usually put their water in a 20 deep 50 gallon drum end, but it always freezes in the winter. This year i bought the 16 gallon heated water bucket. We had several sub freezing weeks this last wacky winter some days down in the single digits and the water in this bucket never froze or had ice skim on it. It doesn't get the water hot so no algae or other scum growth, but it keeps it from freezing. My dogs were happy they didn't have water problems.
