Richard, it is Ritchie waterer. There are 3 separate elements. One rigid element beneath the tank. A flexible heat tape/cord for the water line and float. And a 2-3' pencil sized element that goes down in the 'ground'.
We had electrical trouble and the 110 feed was getting double and it must have fried the element that goes in the ground.
Barry, it's been one helluva year but rumor has it the warm-up is coming. Only calling for -20F tonight.....grin
And yeah, water trouble is the number one problem when it gets cold like this.
