Farm Innovators 2 Pack Heated Chicken Waterer, Poultry Water Fountain, 3 Gallon Review (2026)

Who benefits from two heated fountains

This listing bundles two of Farm Innovators 3 gallon hanging heated fountains, each built around the same HPF-100 style design as the single unit. It fits keepers managing more than one coop, a coop plus a separate outdoor run, or two flocks kept apart for health or breeding reasons. Rather than carrying one heated waterer back and forth, or hauling warm water out twice a day, having two fixed heated stations cuts down on winter chores. It also suits anyone who wants a spare on hand, since heating elements are wear items and having a second unit ready avoids a flock going without heated water while a replacement ships. Keepers with only one coop and a single small flock likely only need the single unit rather than this 2 pack.

Specs and what you get in the box

Each fountain in the pack holds 3 gallons and runs on a 100 watt thermostatically controlled heating element, rated by Farm Innovators to keep water from freezing down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Both units fill from the bottom, so topping off does not require lifting the dome once hung. Folding legs on each fountain adjust to different heights, useful if one station serves grown hens and the other serves a younger or mixed age group. Because the pack is two complete fountains rather than one fountain and a spare part, each needs its own hanging point and its own weatherproof power connection, effectively doubling the setup work compared with installing a single unit.

Running two heated stations through the season

Setting up both fountains follows the same routine as the single model: hang each from a secure point, connect to a covered outdoor rated outlet, and fill from the base. Because each heater is thermostatic, they only draw power when actually needed, but running two units still uses more electricity over a winter than one. Outdoor cord management becomes more of a factor with two stations, since each needs its own weatherproof run and regular inspection for wear, especially where cords cross high traffic areas. Periodic rinsing of both reservoirs helps prevent algae, and keeping spare parts like the heating base makes sense given you already have two units in service.

How it compares with other heated waterer options

Compared with buying two single Farm Innovators fountains separately, this 2 pack is simply a bundling of the same product, so the decision comes down to whether you need two stations rather than which model performs better. Against the My Favorite Chicken 28 watt heated base, which is lower wattage and rated to negative 20 degrees, running two of those instead would use less power overall but requires supplying your own buckets or founts for each base. Keepers who want the simplicity of complete plug in units in two locations will find this pack more convenient, while those focused on minimizing total electric draw across two stations may prefer lower wattage bases instead.

Verdict and who should choose differently

This 2 pack is the right call for keepers who genuinely need two working heated water stations, whether across separate coops, a coop and run, or two managed flocks, and who are comfortable with the added power draw and cord management that comes with two 100 watt heaters. It is less suited to a single small flock in one coop, where a single fountain, or a lower wattage heated base under an existing waterer, would cost less to run and set up. For multi coop or multi flock setups in freezing climates, though, having two identical, proven fountains removes the guesswork of pairing different equipment.
