Tilapia water heaters for sale

500 watt digital titanium water heater

This heater features an external digital thermostat that doubles as an always-on LED thermometer. The electronics stay out of the water and can be mounted for quick visual checks. The temperature sensor is on a separate line from the element for more accurate readings. It plugs into any standard 120 volt outlet and you can put up to three of them on a standard household 15 amp circuit. This heater comes with a one year warranty from the manufacturer.

Electrical usage note: This heater uses about five cents worth of electricity per hour when it is actually heating and almost nothing when it is in stand-by mode. Assuming that your conditions require that the heater cycle on for one-third of the time, or a total of about eight hours per day, this unit will cost about 12 dollars per month to operate.

Tip: Preventing warm air from escaping the building or greenhouse will significantly decrease the cost to operate this or any electric heater.
