Matt do you think a controller would help in the heating process?
Cheers
Dave.
Yes mate it would. They are expensive, £135.00 but Im going to get one, other thermostats for aquariums arent intended for a piece of kit that requires such large wattage, so they'll burn out. Which is a shame as they retail for about £15.00
Any pics uncle bateman ?
I will mate, later, hopefully.
That sounds the biz mate, how long does it take to get the water to that sort of temp ? is it a drop in the tank type or do you have to pump your water through it.
It took abotu 5 hours to heat it to that temp, possibly a little longer, I think as weather conditions improve it wont take so long as the outside temp is going to influence it slightly.
Where did you buy that. And how much?

http://shop.aquakoiaquatics.com/wei-pro-153-c.aspbut theyve sold out at the mo which is why there arent any on the page.
Type in 'wei-pro 3kw heater' into google.
£150.00
Just got back from job, and water hasnt dropped in temp by more than 2 degrees since this morning.
Although at the brush head it was significantly lower due to the fact that all the reel was unwound (big job to do today) and there was 3" of snow on the ground. At a guess Id say it was about 20 at the head.
