- GREAT FOR DIVERSION LOADS:
Most electric hot water heaters have two element ports. One in
the middle and one at the bottom of the tank. Use your WH series
element to replace the bottom 240 VAC element so you always have
hot water. If your battery is keeping your water hot then the
thermostat on the other 240 VAC element will never turn on unless
you run out of wind or solar power. A great diversion load for
alternative energy systems!
- Don't let the energy efficient 300 Watt rating fool you, all of these elements can easily bring small amounts of water to a full boil.
- Note: If you have a gas hot water heater you may wish to put an electric unit ahead of it. This way the gas heater is always being fed hot water so it does not turn on as often and for shorter periods of time when it does.
GREAT FOR MANY USES:
Great for campers, motor
homes, toy haulers, hot food carts, catering, portable pressure
washers and carpet cleaning machines, make hot water while you
drive! Take a hot shower while tent camping or after surfing
or scuba diving. Make emergency hot water for hypothermia or
frost bite victims in the field. For cattle and live stock, keeps
water troughs and stock tanks from freezing in winter. Just too
many applications to mention. People have found hundreds of very
beneficial and unusual uses for our powerful and portable 12
volt water heaters. (Also available in 24 and 48 volt models,
see below)
- FOR INDUSTRIAL USES: We have been helping thousands of concrete mixing trucks and concrete cutting saw business for a long time! Frozen water can put your crew out of business for the day! Use one or two elements depending on the size of the tank. DO NOT leave the tanks filled over night!!!! Fill them with fresh water in the morning and then keep the heating element running in the tank all day long and your water will never freeze. Over 9000 work trucks use them now.
- WARNING: Do not run the tanks DRY with the heating element ON or it will burn up!
NOTES FOR ANIMAL
AND BASIC LIVE STOCK SAFETY
- Remember NEVER to heat your animals water with a high voltage 110 Volt heaters as this practice regularly kills
- an estimated 17,000 animals annually once the high voltage heater gets a crack in the electrical insulation material!
- NOTE: Only use Low Voltage heaters like ours that run on battery power or operate from a low voltage power sources like a 50 amp battery charger.
- LOW VOLTAGE 12, 24 and 48 Volt heaters makes accidental electrocution impossible! Heat your water safely!

- OPTIONAL FREEZE AUTOMATION-
- Thermal-Q ® - Freeze Sensors work great for all low voltage battery applications.
- The Thermal -Q Freeze Sensor
Our handy Thermo-Q freeze sensor will automatically turn power "ON" when the water temperature reaches 35 degrees F. and will turn off the power when the
water temperature exceeds 50 F. degrees. This effectively keeps water from freezing. The Thermo-Q unit can be used with any other ANTI-FREEZING devices to save electricity and or prevent over heating. Works great for all low voltage and battery powered heaters. Works on 12, 24 ,36 and 48 volt systems.- (50 amp or 600 Watts maximum! If you use multiple heaters you will need one Thermo-Q freeze sensor per heater!!)
Characteristics:
- At 35 degrees F. the Thermo-Q will turn "ON" all types of heaters: Heat tape, heat lamps, stock tank heaters, pond heaters, engine block heaters, etc.
- Can also be used as a "Freeze Warning Device" by connecting it to a car head lamp that is visible from your house. The Thermo-Q can simply be used to light-up a lamp or alarm if the temperature drops below 35 degrees F. alerting you.

- PROBLEM SOLVING; The pipe thread seems too tight!
- In some cases it is a tight fit depending on how deep the manufacturer of the FEMALE receptacle tapered their thread cut in the pipe hole.
- A water heater element style 1" national pipe thread (NPT) has a radical taper to it. Since the thread is so short on the heater the taper is at its maximum pipe O.D. already. This prevents leaks but it may also cause the thread to be very tight and hard to get started in some holes that are not fully tapered by the manufacturer.
- SOLUTION; If you take a 1" NPT pipe tap and make the hole taper just a hair larger and then your heater will spin right in. You can also take a 1" pipe die and cut a little off of the heater threads too.

- Questions And Answers
- Q. - Will it work on my rubber maid tank and what do you think of solar? Also how do I get maximum battery life in winter the months.
- A - It works on most of the rubber maid tanks but you will have to check if it is a 1" pipe thread. Also we use a BOTTOM TAP NPT thread style so sometimes
you may have to re-thread the hole to the largest possible 1" taper but that is easy. I would highly recommend that you go to the smallest tank size possible in the winter months so the heater can do its job. Since the battery needs to be swapped out and the dead one recharged daily most people with 3 horses could get away with just a 20 to 30 gallon tank if re-filled daily. This does not mean you have to remove your big water tank but just offer the live stock an alternative drinking spot that is smaller and still liquid. The problem with solar is that the snow covers the panel so it also needs daily sweeping, The panels also cost about $1800.00 each for the Wattage needed to run the 600 Watt heater and the theft rate on an $1800.00 solar panel sitting in the middle of an open field is about 100% in the first year!- Q. -How does this all work? Please tell me what I need to do.
- A. - Most of our customers connect a freshly charged deep cycle battery on their tank heater every 2 days and then they JUST swap them out for a newly charged
battery every few days. This means you will need two deep cycle batteries. One is operating the heater while the other one being recharged. No more chopping sheets of ice, battery swapping is all you need to do here. EASY! The water above the heater is always open. Also put straw bails around your tank and set the tank on an 8" bed of straw to keep it off of the cold ground. You can also build a dirt ramp around it for short animals if necessary.- Q. -Why is my battery only lasting 6 hours?
- A. - First of all 6 hours of making warm water is very good because it may actually take the water 18 hours or more to cool back down to freezing so you have figure that into the whole timing equation. Having a tank with insulated walls that also is not siting on the ice cold ground will also help extend your warm water time dramatically.
- Second, make very sure that you charge your battery up to a full 13.8 volts . This will give you TWICE the power of an ordinary 12 volt charge. This can be done by using a charger that has a "Boost" mode on it and a timer. Set it for 60 minutes on full BOOST mode. Using a charger that has a START/BOOST mode super charges your battery effectively doubling its energy output! Double check the charge with a volt meter and make sure its 13.7 volts or higher. If not give it 60 more minutes of charging at on the start/boost setting.
- You can also try buy a bigger DEEP cycle battery or even add many batteries in parallel to increase heating time. Insulate your batteries too. A cold battery is a dead battery!
- The BEST deep cycle battery is a TROJAN model # DC-500ML. This is the battery you should get! ALSO try putting the heater about 12" RIGHT ABOVE the drinking area to concentrate the heat near the surface of the water. You can use 3 or 4 cinder blocks to get up to this leave.
- ( Rare facts: A 12 volt battery can be charged up as high as 14.7 volts)
- THE BEST ANSWER IS TO RUN IT RIGHT OFF A BIG BATTERY CHARGER -
- SEE - http://www.harborfreight.com/6-12-volt-battery-charger-starter-46944.html
- Q. - CAN I CONNECT ONE OF THESE 12 VOLT HEATERS DIRECTLY TO MY WIND TURBINE?
- A - NO!!! It will burn up in a wind storm since the heater may see voltage levels 5 or 6 times higher than its rating. REMEDY- You need to use a very small 12 volt motor cycle battery in parallel as a buffer! This will protect the heater from receiving over voltages!!! It must be a lead-acid type battery that CAN BE refilled with water (Do not get a sealed type or a dry cell!!!) Even an old used car battery will do just fine as long as it has a tiny bit of life left, it will still make a good power buffer.
- Q. - I have your highest power 600 watt model and a big powerful battery at the full 13.8 volt charge but the water still freezes up by morning. What can I do?
- A - You must be in an extremely cold area. The best thing you can do is get a smaller stock tank to concentrate the heaters energy into a smaller body of water. Also try to bring hot water with you when you fill your stock tank. Many ranchers fill their truck-tank directly from their home hot water heater. This water is burning hot at first but by the time you get out to the stock yard the water will be nice and warm and will melt all of the ice in the tank on contact ! (No Chopping). Now connect your freshly charged battery to your stock tank heater and you should be able to make it for a full 24 hours, until your next visit.
- Don't let the energy efficient 300 Watt rating fool you, all of these elements can easily bring small amounts of water to a full boil.
