EDITOR'S CHOICEThe patented Heat-R-Sand keeps sand from freezing and provides hot water. Custom built to size, it can be placed on the ground or on a trailer. It heats water by an element plugged into a 220V electrical outlet. Cover it with sand, plug it in over night, adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature, and the heat from the tank radiates up through the sand. Use the dip tower to get hot water for mixing.
