I think ice caps are good for 5 to 6 years. Once they're done, you can send it back for repairs and it's cheaper than buying brand new again. I don't know anything about Aromat

Indefinitely.. :lol:

It all depends on how you use it. The location where it is mounted and used will cause one to die quick vs. never.

Dunno, you need to give a lot more info for me to give you a sound suggestion.

The main reasons any electronic device dies prematurely are moisture, heat and vibration. Eliminate or reduce all three will help in keeping your ballast humming away for a long time.
