I'm trying to locate an electric heater for our baptismal pool at the church. It holes a litter more water than a bathtub

This heater heats my 420 gallon spa ten degrees per hour for the 11 kw model. My concern about your application is that the heater is designed for very high flow from a spa pump and could be too fast for your pool. As I recall the flow is 60 gal/min.

This may be more heater than you're looking for....I believe there is also a 5.5KW model which might be better suited to a smaller tub. With this unit, my 1,000 gallon hot tub heats at a rate of about +4F/hour. So if it starts at 70F, it will take roughly 7 hours to get to 100F.

This heater will do an excellent job. Glad it will be used for a great cause!

it probably would work with the dual elements. positioning the heater to the required location could add a challenge

It would probably be better if you used a small electrical water heater. In order for this to heat the water, water must be flowing through the unit. It works great for our hot tub, but the pump must be running.

This heater will easily fulfill your needs. It must be wired to 220. I use this same pump to heat a 16' round, 48" deep summer swimming pool and it takes care of the water and keeps it at desirable swim temperatures with consistent performance. This requires flow however so I hope the baptismal pool has a pump.

This will probably work for you, we have a hot tub that it heats when at full strength (104 degrees), you wouldn't have to turn it up very high for a baptismal pool, you could probably go with something smaller if you want to save some money.

I think you would have to be pretty creative with the hot water line...maybe route it under the floor if possible, or through the walls. For a lot more money you could buy a seat with its own heater also. Consulting a plumber would be a good idea as well.

Also we found a dome at Amazon that covers the entire pool and keeps it warm and no leaves or dirt. We spent our money on that instead. It has screened windows and a big zipped door opening.

A regular electric pump will work but it will take a while. We used them on a popular river so a place that rents them out let us use his pump. It worked a lot faster.

Having an electric heater in a wet bath room is dangerous. You better use a ceiling mounted infrared light (bulb) or simply use more hot water to warm up. Even in a powder room, use same bulb.

We have this water heater hooked up to regular electrical service and it barely heats water at all. I would not buy it. For any purpose.

I asked the The Kitty Tube manufacturers about this for myself a few weeks ago because they had had a low voltage heating pad on their website and then it wasn't there. I was told they will be offering a new, improved version soon. Contact them directly and they could tell you more.

We use a basic under gravel heater. I'm afraid I'm not home so I don't recall the type, but any well made one should do.

why wouldn't you, chad?yes they do exist best I've found is on crazypc(dot)comi used a cold cathode and a shoe box top to make a light up hood for my 2.5 gallon fish tank works like a charm ;-)

If you have a gas pipe near where you are placing the heater you are 1/2 way there. Go to Hom depot or hardware store and they will show you what you need.

It looks to be a perforated area in the lid that could be punched out to fit a heater. Hope that helps.

I dont know. I will look at the box and get back to you tomorrow. Its to be used in a pool.

I bought the iSpring system that included an electric pump. There are similar pumps available on Amazon, Ebay etc.

Hi Cassandra, Amazon asked if I could answer your question. I think the hole is for an electrical plug of some sort, but I don't remember what the instructions indicated about it. I did not use the hole, I plugged it up. I think it best for you to contact the Kitty Tube company with your question. It was a terrible winter, the Kitty Tube helped alot, I put alot of straw in it and placed the shelter under a balcony for protection from wind and snow. The little feral cat survived! (So did I!) P.S. Don't use catnip in it, racoons love catnip!Best regards

my p/w is electric i think its a homelite and i used it this wibter havent used it yet this season should work fine on yours since all it does is evacuate any water in the machine with foam

No, I wouldn't do that. Uncertainty of water getting on floor and acting like a conductor. Code requires plug to be 48 inches off of floor. Same goes for heater.
