Hi,
I have several Coates heaters for sale that have the controls removed for use as a pond heater. These are 11 kW heaters at 208/230v. Since there are no controls, a seperate low temperature thermostat and contactor or a manual switch will be needed to start the unit. They do contain a flow switch that can be wired into the contactors or manual switch for safety in case of pump failure. These are brand new in their original packaging. Link to manufactures web site: http://www.coatesheaters.com/CoatesW...es_heaters.htm This link shows a typical list price for these units: http://www.pool-spa-supplies.com/Catalog/91.pdf I need to clear out some garage space, so my price for these is $200 each. I will cover shipping costs. Paypal, money order, or cashiers check preferred. I will accept a personal check, but funds need to clear first. We can work the details out via e-mail. Thanks, Craig |

A thousandth of a watt won't accomplish much.... (ITYM KW) Kw = Kilowatt, 1000 watts they are 11,000 watts/24 Amps/220V and make 37,500 BTU! thats enough for a small house ![]() -- -- http://www.kencofish.com Ken Arnold, 401-781-9642 cell 401-225-0556 Importer/Exporter of Goldfish,Koi,rare Predators Shipping to legal states/countries only!

If you would like one to heat your 25,000 gallon pool, this would do nicely as well. I should explain further though.... These heaters have two elements in them and are designed for 208/240 single phase power. You would have several options. It seems as though we have a couple EE's here so I am sure they can come up with a couple of different ways, but potentially you could run half of the heater on 115v power. This would also allow for a reasonable current draw for a normal circuit. This larger heater would only need to be on for a short period of time to increase the water temperature. I don't think it would be an issue, but you might want to increase the differential of the thermostat to prevent short cycling of the heater. Under most circumstances cycling does not adversely affect an electric heater. Technically I suppose KW is more appropriate. In industry I see it written both ways. |

Under most circumstances cycling does not adversely affect an electric heater. I like the idea: I've always had a hankering for excavating a big tank, insulating under and beside it and heating it (with solar energy as much as possible) and constructing a greenhouse/polytunnel over it. This would take care of the greenhouse heating at night and during the colder times of the year, and humidity could be regulated by ducting ventilation through the airspace at the top of the tank. Being dark in the tank, algæ should not be a problem. However, later and more fanciful thoughts ran to creating a big pond within a polytunnel and heating the water the same way, circulating it through a barleystraw filter, then through a sand filter, and growing tropical waterplants, keeping fish, and on the banks on either side growing tropical - or at least sub-tropical fruits and vegetables. To think that I once had the room for this project but no money to do it, whereas now I don't have the room but could afford to play games.... -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
