A little alcohol~ brandy or whiskey on the shaft leading to the handle. The alcohol will evaporate and not contaminate the water. Other than that...heat tape to generate heat to thru the handle. Wrap it in a fire retardant blanket to shelter the outside elements from refreezing what you have thawed already. Good luck to you and your critters.

After using one of the above methods, buildd a shelter around the unit and insulate it. If it gets very cold in your area, also install a light buil, about 60 watt, to supply heat in the shelter.
