for a 3 car garage will this or the 70 pint unit be better suited. I have fish tanks in the garage and it's causing a lot of condensation on the doors

I think you should consider how you will empty the accumulated water. If you can use constant drainage via gravity, I think the SPT SD-31E would be satisfactory. If you would need to empty the pan manually, I think you should choose a model with larger capacity so it would not need to be emptied so frequently.

I say go bigger!!! Three car garage-LOTS of open area with LOTS of moisture in the air. I advise the 70 pint for your needs!

I think you'd be fine with this if you can drain it by gravity with a hose. Otherwise, I'd say you'll be emptying it a lot for your space.

I use it in my 2 car garage with room to spare. Hope that gives you some idea.

Any 5 to 10gal shop/garage compressor should be fine. I used the 5gal I have in my garage and had no issues. I wouldn't use anything smaller than that tho.

I used a box for my 75 gallon and it brought the ph up fairly quickly (within a week if memory serves). If you need to move the ph by more than 1, I would probably get 2 boxes if I were in your position.

Where do you have the bucket kept at? Durning the winter I had it at 78-82 in a 55 degree garage it had no problem keeping up but also started it the water around 100 degrees

For a garage or a laundry room(which is where I have it), it is great. However, I do not believe this would be water tight. It is all metal and the seams don't fit snug enough or have any type of gasket to make them water tight. I would recommend something by Rubbermaid if you need to have it outside.

I can't really say for sure. But the reason they say the garage isn't good is because they do not have heaters in them for sub freezing temps. If your garage is always above 50 degrees I would think any unit would be fine.

I would not buy this product.A half way decent garage has its own refrigerant. This product is for people that either have experience refilling car systems, or have a friend or neighbor, that has the experience.Save your money.

This is variable depending on the model, the temperature in your area, how high you run the heater, and how large the space is you are trying to heat. I own the Big Buddy, which holds two one pound canisters. I use it in my woodworking shop on high until I am comfortable. Then I turn it down. I can get several hours. The two tank system uses both tanks when it's on high, vs. one tank on low.

Works best in confined spaces. If the garage is closed place near the odor. If you have outside airflow it won't do the job.

I put the unit on a small platform (4" high) and used a cheap furnace moisture pump and some tubing to force the water out. There were shallow condensation pumps available but I didn't think they were worth the extra cost. Be careful with the amount of tension on the tubing, I broke my drain because I constantly move the thing depending on how I am using and where I am in the room. (my office and gym are one in the same plus some times you just want a fan blowing on you) I used a little marine repair putty to fix it and haven't had a problem

I'm not sure what they say in the specs, but I have a 20'X24' uninsulated garage and I am a little disappointed. It was very easy to install and works great and if you are supplementing another heat source then you will be happy. Maybe if my garage was insulated I would be more pleased.

It's not possible to answer not knowing how large the garage is. I have a standard two car garage and it works well for both cars. I would buy one and try it. It has worked real well for me.

I use it in a 24x28 garage. I do work in the garage in the winter and it will keep it at 70-75 degrees. I was usi9ng milk house heaters before and they kept burning out the thermostats . For me this heater works great. Lloyd Jones

Just measure your space, and ask the expert at the big box store to select. My concern on the 4 gal unitis, "is this enough hot water for you".

I have a 22x24 foot garage and it warms the room somewhat. It's 28 degrees outside and my garage is 55 degrees. I have a double garage door and there are gaps on the side though.\f1\fs26 \cf2 \cb1 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0\outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 \}
