Didn’t work at all. Waste of money
I bought these because I don’t have direct power to my barn and didn’t want to run a cord. I live in Maine and it was only 30 degrees and I had a thick layer of ice on the top, Thick enough I couldn’t even push through it. Total waste of money

Pass it by ….
I bought two, and returned one. Hated it!!! Cumbersome and hard to get on the bucket. Might work of in a barn with many horses, but my water froze solid and it wasn’t even the coldest part of a Maine winter.
Also paid to have it shipped back. I thought as a smart packer I had free shipping both ways. I must have misunderstood.
The one I had to keep because I used it one night gathers dust in the corner.

These Covers Really work
Just started using these insulated bucket covers. All I can say is….Amazing! Just to “test the covers, I unplugged my tank heater for my 100 gallon water tank, which takes a long time to freeze. A stall water bucket would freeze much faster. I put around 4 gallons of water in each stall bucket for the night. Low temps were around 25 degrees. This morning my 100 gallon tank was frozen with several inches of ice. My insulated stall buckets were Ice Free!!!! I wish I had bought these years ago! Appear to be sturdy enough, easy to use. My horses had no problems with adapting to the covers on the buckets.

Did not work!
With the cost of electricity I thought I’d try these. First cold day in Maine, I believe it was in the 20’s, my bucket froze pretty significantly. I went back to electric after I wasted over $100. I won’t risk no water available for my horses. Very disappointed.
For the folks that It did work, is your barn heated? Or are you in a warm climate?

AVOID MERLOT. Green is ok
RUN AWAY FROM THE MERLOT COLORED ONES! Ive had to contact Smartpak 3 times because the Merlot ones we ordered came in defective with the velcro thin ends having the same type of velcro instead of the opposite piece it needed to velcro to itself. NIGHTMARE color. Ordered 2 green ones and 2 merlot originally. Green ones came fine both on initial order and on replacement for the merlot. Got to the point Smartpaker told me to just donate the merlot ones. SUUUUPER disappointed in the merlot. Wanted christmas colors. Green ones seem to be doing its job. slight layer of ice build up.

Insulated water bucket covers
The insulated water bucket covers work excellent for keeping the water from freezing in the barn as well as outside.

Great bucket cover
I bought two of them a year ago thinking that I was waiting money. When it got real cold we would put hot water in it. When it was below zero there were a couple times we would just have a skim of ice on it. They have been amazing.

No freezing!
I bought 3 of these maybe 4 years ago. Always used water out of the barn hydrant and the worst it would freeze is a thin glaze when it got below 15 degrees in the barn. Last month we had sub zero temps and -35 wind chills. Barn hydrant froze, so I filled the buckets with warm water from the house and in those subzero temperatures there was no freezing at all, even overnight. I was impressed! Buy it--it's worth it!

I’m surprised at the good reviews. This cover did not work, even inside my barn. Temperature was not that cold either. Threw it in the garbage.

Functional, But Not Durable!
These bucket covers are relatively easy to put on and work wonders for preventing the water from freezing, even in cold single digit temperatures, so it's quite a relief not having to constantly break ice out of buckets. The biggest issue is they are not durable. I've tried using four different covers over the past year, and each one has completely torn open within a week of use, so they've all ended up in the garbage. I hope the durability can be improved because the overall concept is lifesaving!

Lifesaver!
I bought these during a sale a few years ago and haven’t regretted it for a moment! We had a cold snap last night, chills around -10, so I woke up expecting to see ice in buckets and was happy to see none! These are easy to use, fit on the common, five gallon horse buckets and stay on all night (even with a curious yearling). I add warm water during my last rounds at night and love seeing half empty, ice-free buckets in the morning! They are really well-made, I have no complaints!

This is a BIG help
I bought this knowing we were dipping into the low teens at night. It definitely makes a difference. While water is going to freeze when it gets into the teens and single digits, this helps sustain it longer and keeps it from freezing so thick. The horses drink more. I am not beating buckets as hard because they are not frozen like a rock...a win-win!! These did exactly what I hoped they would do.

Effective for the money
I purchased one for my livestock dog’s water bucket. It’s going on its 3rd winter and its very effective! I bring hot water out each evening and it takes nearly 24 hours for it to even form an ice crust. Our temps regularly go into the single digits overnight outside, but within the barn is generally 15-20°F.
My playful gelding has hard plastic insulators and this bucket insulator is a competitive alternative at a quarter of the price.

Doesn’t work with playful, mischievous horses
They are lovely. I really like them. They feel kind of like a down jacket for your water bucket. They have Velcro in the back and around the rim to attach the two pieces. Sadly they lasted from when they were discovered about 15 min. My horse pulled 2 of these bucket warmers of both buckets within five minutes. These will work very well if you have a horse that doesn’t play with things in their surrounding areas. My horse is checking everything out that she can get between her teeth or hoofs. What I want to give them credit for is that they did not really break. Just on velcro patch came off, the bucket warmer withstood my Frisian.

Actually water, way less ice!!!
These are out in 0 degree weather and while they will freeze it will take hours as opposed to minutes. If it's in the teens often I have chilly but still drinkable water. My horses and goats love them!

I was really excited about these so I bought two for a couple stalls in a closed barn. A very thin layer of ice forms when it hits the 20s. When it got lower than 10 degrees, you might as well not use them as the buckets froze and the insulation kept them frozen longer than the non insulated bucket. If you dont live where it gets lower than 15 degrees then it should work.

Velcro is not a good option to hold bucjrt on...velcro gets dirty and does not hold. Does help keep buckets from freezing

Got this to insulate a bucket. No directions on how to put it on. Irritating. Threw it in a junk pile.

Worked
I received this for Christmas and I use it when I need to heat up a bucket of water with the bucket heater. In 9 degree weather the other night it sped up the time needed to get the water hot enough for mash and managed to keep the water from freezing overnight. For what I use it for I am thrilled!

Save your money
Doesn't work in negative/single digit temps. Ice will still form on the surface of the water overnight. Additionally, these are a pain to get off and on and attach and even worse when they accidentally and inevitably get wet. Trust me, I wish they worked!

Helps a bit.
I bought one a few seasons ago. While it helps it doesn’t prevent freezing totally. I put a floater in the bucket that I use it on and that made it a bit more efficient.

Great! Best purchase yet for our fjord
In Maine
So far no frozen water in an unheated, drafty old barn. We do pour very hot water into the bucket.
We had some below zero Temps but not for multiple days in a row.
We put this on a regular bucket.

This does absolutely nothing
I live in NY and thought I would try one of these out for my horse. It doesn’t do anything at all to slow the freezing compacted to the plain empty water bucket, and both are I side my horses stall, inside a barn. I even tried putting hot water in to see if that helps and it still freezes. Disappointed in this, it’s a waste of money and annoying to deal with.

insulated covers for 7 gallon buckets
I bought two of these about a week ago. Our temps have been down in the teens and no frozen water. Water is still cold so I bring them warm water 2-3 times per day but I feel better knowing they always have water that is not frozen. Going to buy a third one. Covers were a little confusing to put on.

IT WORKS!
I absolutely love these. I don't have individual heated buckets in my stalls and have always had a problem with the buckets freezing up during the night when winter really hits. I got 4 of these a month ago and they've solved the issue. This morning it was 5° F and none of them were frozen!

Waste of Money
These are a waste of money. I wished I put my money into electric buckets that I now have to buy. They froze up when temps where in high 20s. The barn is well insulated. Nice thought, but bad product.

I bought these for our barn because heated water buckets worry me.. buckets froze in 20° weather with the insulators on them. Don’t waste your money on these.

Didn't work
I just whipped these out for the first time. It got down to 10° last night. I came out in the morning and the buckets were frozen through. I don't understand this because the big muck bucket that I had also bought an insulator for was not frozen. These just flat did not work.
