I have a tank that is 12" deep. Should I use this sending unit or a 11.75" sending unit? I have heard it has to be 1" less than the tank's depth.

I'm not sure, I never got mine fixed. My sending unit for the electric is still broke, they do not make mine anymore.

Due to the nature of a thermostat operated heater, you cant really over-do it. I have a 12gal with this heater and it works great, yes it has to be completely submerged, but that is not a problem for me. I plan to upgrade to a larger tank, hence the overkill.... so if you might have a bigger tank someday, just get this one!

This work for your tank, but also you need a sender unit like this:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MTCRAA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1424974300&sr;=8-1&keywords;=universal+sender+fuel&dpPl;=1&dp;ID=41oqPxVAlGL&ref;=plSrchπ=AC_SY200_QL40

The inside depth should be less than the outside. Also, if you buy the "linked" anode rod, and it turns out to be too long, you can always cut one of the links off. The important thing is that the anode rod does not touch the bottom of your water heater. Shorter is better than longer, in other words. Hope that helps. If in fact your water heater is actually 46" deep, the 42" rod will be fine.

I just bought one and it says for tanks up to 12 inches deep. I bought another one and I will return this one.

The float valve for the 12v pump is about 13" from the bottom of the pump. The pump's themselves aren't that deep but if you want the 12v to start before there is water across the floor you'll need a bit deeper.. You really want that switch below the bottom of the drain inlets if you can get it.. For me I had to dig down about 22" and make the sump deeper..

We used one in our 20 X 40 in ground play pool Max depth <6' and it worked great but did need additional hose segments. In deeper a pool, say a diving pool, it may not be as effective. I just ordered one for the similarly sized diving pool at out new house. I will try to remember to update after I hook it up.

I don't know. I could go out and measure it but I could also tell you that these senders are standardized in size. The screw holes are not equal distances apart and that is so that there is only one way the sender can be screwed on to the tank.

About 8 foot or soI have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets.I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank

It won't hurt but its not necessary. The large size is meant for a 110 gallon tank or larger! I use a small one in my 60 gallon tank and it works great.

I roughly measured the tank, I think the 1.11 is probably closer. I filled the tank with a gallon, plus about a quarter of a quart (measured with a quart bottle that wasn't graduated). I didn't measure how much beyond that fits in the base, but it might make up the remaining 0.4 gallons. I disagree with S.Wagner-- the size of the filter is not nearly enough to displace 0.4 gallons.

This heater kept my 2.5 gallon tank in the low-mid 80's. Way too warm. I ended up replacing it with the Hydor 25W heater because it has a dial to set the temperature. It's much more reliable. Though this one is 3.75" and the Hydor is 6.5" long.

I used the one made for a previous gauge. Think it should be 2 and 1/8 inch diameter. Suggest you contact Moeller to get specifics. I used the Moeller gauge which was compatible with the tank.

I'll tell you one thing. I had a 14 inch rough in very carefully measured. We ended up using a very thick tile for the walls. Then we ended up not being able to use the 14R because there wasn't enough room anymore. We used the 12 and that works fine with about a 1 inch gap behind the tank.

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.

I use it for a five gallon tank and it is great. A one gallon tank might be to small. Prior to getting this I had a flat heater that was under my gravel that auto censored to keep a tank at the right temp. The only problem with it was I needed to have more control of the temp in the. You might try finding it, sorry but I don't remember what kind it was, but I know it was for smaller tanks.

We attached our discharge hose to 2" PVC and routed it to our 1500 gal water tank. Works great. At least one Discharge hose first, of a length of your choosing, then PVC- will give you room to shift the pump as necessary.
