Nick,

The concept was fine, but we had quality and supply issues that caused 
us to discontinue last year.

We also had marketing issues around people expecting miracles, not 
understanding the principle of operation. The principle is that it 
causes circulation of warmer water below the ice -- upward to melt ice 
in the daytime and create a hole and (at least) maintain a thin spot in 
the ice.

If the tank freezes solid, it won't work.

I will chime in again if I have any more info on this.

Meanwhile, I would take Allan's advice and also advise to make soil 
berm around tank, wind breaks, etc.
