I've had my mixing station built and just been running RO water in it for curing and treating the LR water....I'm nearing the stage of being to collect water actually for the DT and curious how I should go about heating the water......
I'm not using traditional Brute cans, so just dropping a glass heater inside doesn't exactly fill the need......
This is just 1 of my mixing vats.....As you can see it's roughly 5' tall and has a large manhole in the top. Dangling a glass heater inside with the water curing in my mind spells disaster at some point with the heater always being tossed around and banged, and see glass shattering at some point. I have thought about seeing how far I could actually get my hand down into the container and seeing if I could get down deep enough to possibly suction cup the heater to the side, but still real no assurance the heater would stay attached as well......
My other thought was to use titanium heaters and not worry as much about them being bounced around....Rather expensive for saltwater mixing....Another option was using an inline heater, but haven't found to much as far as inline heaters......
Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated!!!!!!
