can this be used with an extension cord?

I have mine connected with an extension cord, BUT, I am using a heavy duty extension. I would NOT recommend using it with and indoor type extension cord.

Yes! My cord is right from te barn to the trough! No problems for toe years in a row!

I have a 100 ft extension cord running to the heater, and it works well. Temperatures have been in the low teens so far and not a bit of ice has formed on the water... Seems to keep the water about 38°-40°.

this hater requires GROUND FAULT PROTECTION for safety. Regular ,2-wire extension cord is prohibited. For a qualified extension cord, you may ask local stores for sure.

Yes it can be used with an extension cord-I would recommend a 14 to 12 gauge wire cord and remember that the longer the cord the more the power of the deicer is reduced so the shorter the better.Dave

I guess it would depend on what you were using at the end of the extension cord. I wouldn't use it with anything that pulls a lot of watts(heaters, hair dryers, curling irons, etc.) Other than that I would think it'd be ok.

You know, I'm not sure. I have thrown the box away and do not recall the instructions stating NOT to use and extension cord with the device, but I know it did state not to plug the outlet INTO an extension cord (I hope that makes sense!). I actually have an extension cord (three prong) and a plug strip plugged into the outlet and so far, no issues. I hope this helps! Feel free to respond if you need additional information. Take care!

I don't know but I don't see why not. You mean by using an extension cord? Best to ask Nikon I suppose.

The cord is about 6 ft long - I don't know about using it with an extension cord because the plug is one of those little black boxes like you would have with a charger.

I don't see why not...extension cords are usually smaller in diameter than garden hoses. (That's not too bad an idea!)

Not directly... You'll need an adaptor with an on/off switch on the cord... Cord is only about 3 ft long

Yes, it can. The chord is short. If you need to move the receiver further away from the floor outlet, and extension cord works fine.

I would say no but only because most extension cords are usually too thick. If it's an extension cord that's old and only has two wires you could possibly get away with it

The cord is about 7 feet long. I've never used an extension cord with it, but it is a heat-producing machine so I would use a three-wire appliance cord if anything.

I didn't use a extension cord. I power up direct to a outlet in my garage where I have this house.

Sorry, don't know about those things. Manual says if you need to use an extension cord that it must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. I hope that helps.

Just read the instructions and they do not say anything about not to use an extension cord. Of course, it should be an outside cord.

Yes, I did use an outdoor extension cord with it. However, I also bought a water tight cord lock cover to protect the connection. See link below:Farm Innovators Model CC-2 Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock - Green

I have mine plugged into a power strip and it works perfectly fine. An extension cord should work just as well.

I'm not sure if it would be as effective. I don't see why not. I would make sure the extension cord you are using is not a little cheap one and the cord thickness of your device and extension cord match closely.

Hello, Happy Customer............I have searched and searched for the answer to your question, but I can't find any information on connecting an extension cord to this product. We have it back of our TV and don't need the extensions, but just to be on the safe side.....I don't think I would do it until I got an opinion. They would probably know in your local hardward store or over at Home Depot or Lowe's. I think I'll do the same thing because it wouldn't have occurred to me and I might have caused an electrical problem! Good luck to you................
