Hi
I need a new thermostat for my Farm Innovators heated water fountain
Wondered if any one else has one or knows where you can get a replacement thermostat
Has just resent email to them
Maybe this time they will reply. Arggggg
Just checking here to see if anyone has any info
Thx

Kathy Wllady, replaces these thermostates but im not sure where she gets them.

We get them through a company in the USA that my hubby uses for his monitoring systems. I think i bought 6...i know i have a couple extras...
what are the numbers stamped on that one? i'll check and make sure they're the same. if they are, happy to give you one at cost next time i visit bvf (will be soon-need to take her some EOs) or get you the order info for the company. shipping is a bit expensive so we order extras....

geez i should read your post closer. i just replaced one in a farm innovators water dish...i'm sure they're the same. i have another one to replace this weekend...

how long do these thermostats last for? i sure hope they are years old.

my one was only 1 year old....out of 20 heated water dishes, i only had one that didn't work...could have done an exchange on it, but another freezes at -12, so i wanted to change it out too (the rest are good to -25 or so). so far the couple i've had for about 8 years are still going strong.....

i should also add, the one that wasn't working....when i opened it up it was put together quite shoddily inside, so i just reglued the heat tape/foil and pulled off the leads and replaced the thermostat and it's working amazing now. so it might have been simply a quality control issue on that one.

ahhh ic well thats good to hear.

hardest part about replacing these thermostats honestly is getting the bottom of the water dish. LOL.

I have had 3 in 5 years
First was my fault At end of season I thought id give a good cleaning and submerged it in vinegar to get all the lime off. BIG mistake. So that one I understand
2nd one I've had 2 years only
Hubby fixed that one
So I need only 1 thermostat
Thanks for offer WLLady I don't urgently need one and don't want to make you short on your supply
So now I have 3 heated water fountains at 60.00 a pop Haha
Good to have spares. And the other one I can use in my pen that I have rooster separated in

Ok. I will post the order info etc tonight...
