The ice zapper satellite dish heater is heat tape for satellite dishes and is used to keep snow and Ice off of your satellite dish.

It is used for Dish Network or Directv.

The Manually Controlled Ice Zapper Satellite Dish Heater can be turned on when it's needed, no matter what the temperature is. The Original Ice Zapper® satellite dish heater is thermostat controlled and is designed to turn on at approximately 32° and turn off at approximately 55°. Perfect for cold winters up North, but other areas experience problems with snow at warmer temperatures. Do Not Loose Signal To Ice and Snow? Stop Smacking the Dish. Much Better Options Exist.

Instead of using a heating pad which clears only up to 40 square inches of dish surface, The Ice Zapper dish heater has two heating pads. This gives you enough radiant heat to clear approximately 80-140 square inches of dish antenna surface.

With this model instead of having a thermostat which automatically come on at 32 degrees, you can actually turn it of and on your self using manual controls. This is perfect if you are in an area that sees snow even if its higher than 32 degrees.

The Ice Zapper is powered by a 110v power supply, meaning all you need to do is run a medium grade outdoor extension cord to install this (unless you have a power outlet next to your dish).

This Ice Zapper2 is easy to install, made in the U.S.A., and is backed by a 1 year warranty.
