Does EMF information or testing results exist for the heaters?

Yes. Please call 800-950-2210 for detail information. Thank you. FamilyPoolFun.

Yes it does. Also, keep an eye on your electrical outlet and the plug. If they get hot put on lower heat setting. If it is already on low setting, unplug it and move it to another outlet until you find one that runs cool or warm. I found out I had some bad electrical outlets using this heater and possibly inadequate wiring. Another thing, I bought 4 of these heaters and 2 of them after about 2 weeks started humming/vibrating and rotating counter-clockwise. Good luck with yours.

I have found them to be +/- 5 degrees. This is not an absolute accuracy however I think it's fair. I put seven of these in my son's all electric heated house and he says he has seen his electric bill decrease from when he had the 1985 models in all the rooms. Hope this helps. Bob

Hi, I would like to know if you need the probe plugged in to detect EMF. I see two conflicting answers below. Is it a yes or a no?

Yes. I installed mine using a line-voltage (220v) thermostat with the heater unit turned to full warm position. The thermostat I have is a White-Rodgers purchased from W. W. Grainger.

Is the Hydrofarm thermostat some kind of "smart" thermostat? (One that controls select areas of your house)? These smart devices are constantly sending signals to the areas they monitor and thus will be much higher in EMF's. Either way, I would probably swap it out for a standard thermostat - especially if it is on a wall (or behind) a wall where you sleep or spend a lot of time.

Well Ms. Linda C. I dont know what to tell you because I have been using my heater for three years now and I dont have the slightest problem with it. My heater works very well for me. B.K.Delley

No idea, I never owned such thermostat, just noticed that the Infrared Sauna we had, emmits hube amt of EMF, THEN AN OLDER MODEL WITH CERAMIC HEATER DIDNTDEPENDS ON CHEAP MANUFACURER

I've used these units for years and never experienced this condition. I'm not an electrical engineer, but something is definitely wrong. The circuit you are plugging into may have an open ground. You can plug in an inexpensive circuit tester to test your line before contacting Farm Innovators. These heaters have to operate in a tough environment and I've seen they go for years.

I think it has electric heating elements, but you should just contact customer service, they're very knowledgeable

This device actually does work by measuring the inductance or induced magnetic field surrounding an energized conductor. I have never heard of it referred to as an inductance tester though.

Answer in short...I have not tested my smart meter, but it should give you a reading. Further explanation if you care to read on.... I used this device to take electromagnetic field(EMF) Gauss readings around a house, that I went on to purchase, that is located next to high-voltage power lines. I tested EMF reading at my old house (located on a dead end road in the woods) to use as a baseline and then tested the new house. My new house is located about 400' away from the power lines and both houses tested the same. Depending where you research, the accepted safe level of Gauss is between 2.5mG and 8mG, inside my house with a smart meter and 2 wifi internet routers and all other EMF omitting appliances I got a reading of .08mG and outside it's .06mG. I then tested many appliances inside my home, finding that the microwave has the highest level of EMF output by far at 25-28mG. I tested the appliances at different distances and was able to conclude that unless you are within a 12"-18" of the source of EMF then the EMF drops to a normal level. I hope this helps!

Assuming you live in the US and you are using a resistive heater (most likely), 120V (A) 15 Resistive Amps (copied from product description), P=IV, 120*15 = 1800. Seems good to go!

I have two of these heaters and never noticed that problem. I don't think it is normal, maybe the wire got damaged. I would exchange it just in case.

You are looking at a low-frequency EMF meter. It measures EMF from mains electrical devices and other (very low frequency) EMF sources. You can use this type of meter to check EMFs from mains electricity, power lines, high voltage lines, electrical installations, sub-stations and transformers, house wiring, domestic electrical appliances TVs, computers, office equipment, factory machinery, vehicles (cars, trains etc). This meter is not designed to measure ionizing radiation (x-rays and gamma rays), or radio-frequency / microwave radiation, unless specifically stated.

These heaters are very efficient if they are wired for 240 volts. These heaters will operate on 110 volts but they will only produce about a third of the heat. The heaters will heat around 400sq. feet. Each heater needs to be wired on separate breakers.

Stands for Electromagnetic field. put Heatwave sauna EMF test in your browser and it will explain it in detail.
