I have two heating pads that I would like to use to keep my dogs drinking water thawed during the winter. I bought a timer to cycle the pads on and off, but I would like to know how to install an inline thermostat to keep the pads from overheating. On one of the heating pads I watched a video that told me to disable a wire connected to a timer chip inside the control casing but that didnt work. The other heating pad is new but has an 2 hr shut off that id like to disable. Ideally Id like to build an enclosure for the dogs water bucket, insulate it and then put the heating pad between the insulation and the water bucket. Then I would like to use an electrical timer to cycle the power off and on without the heating pads overheating. Thanks for taking time to read my post.
