Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a deicer system for heating water within a fluid receptacle to prevent ice from forming including a main body configured to be positioned within the fluid receptacle, a heating element adapted to heat the water, a temperature sensor adapted to detect a temperature of the heating element, a switch adapted to activate and deactivate the heating element, and a control unit in communication with the heating element, the temperature sensor, and the switch. The heating element is supported by the main body. The heating element includes a heating coil and a plate. The plate includes one or more fins. The control unit is adapted to control the heating element using the switch based at least in part on a temperature detected by the temperature sensor.
