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 |

The message
from "Pond Newbie" contains these words: http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/electricity.html kW = Kilowatts which equal 1000 watts, not a thousandth of a watt (at least here in the US). These heaters are designed for Jacuzzi type spas and pools. kW - thousandth of a watt KW - thousand watts -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Until now. Why would anyone even be interested in the amount of power described by a "thousandth of a watt"? Far too insignificant to be of any interest to anyone. kW = KW = kilo watt = 1,000 watts.

wrote: Thanks John. I had never heard that lowercase k + W meant "thousandth" either. It is on my electric bill every month, as kWh (Kilowatt hours) of usage. This is Kilowatts (1000 watts) per hour, used. http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/KWh Perhaps they have some odd standard in the UK? According to my friends there the UK has a lot of odd things, including standards. But I still think that it is a kilowatt. John |

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. |
