My compost water heater did not work...

This was an interesting book. However, there was a lot of information about large scale compost water heaters and I was looking for more information on heating a small greenhouse with compost.
Then I used a very basic design and built my compost water heater. It did not heat up at all. I used chopped up leaves and cow manure. I was very disappointed. Then I got analytical. Did the book give any real hard numbers about how much a small compost water heater would cost, materials and labor. I have over $600 in mine. Then I went on YouTube and could not find any real world dollar numbers on any of the compost water heaters.
The book is inspirational, and that's the problem. It gets you excited about heating water cheaply. I could have heated the greenhouse all winter and maybe next winter with propane for the time and energy and research and money that I put into this failed project. Really wish this project would have worked...but it didn't. We need real numbers!! Also, why didn't my compost heat up??? I layered the materials and watered the layers. I also put sticks in the layers for oxygen. Why, why, why didn't this compost heat up???? Very disappointed. Do not go into this project blindly. And make sure you count your time in the cost, because it takes a lot of time to gather materials and then put a compost water heater together.
Good luck with your project.

I received the unit when it was supposed to be here. I hooked it up, it works but lets gas pass on side that is off when i disconnect the tank. I will have to contact seller, hopefully they can send replacement out and then i can send defective unit back as this is my heat and cooking supply and it is dead cold right now

I had to return the heater for a replacement because it did not work at all. Sadly I had to return the second one because it too did not work.

When I did the house addition in the 90's I installed an insinkerator instant hot. When it finally died I replaced it with a less expensive one. BIG BIG mistake, as you see I am back.

I filled with boiling water dispensed from a Keurig. No result. I ran hot water over the outside of the cup. No result. Just a black cup.

I received three of the heaters & had my handyman install them.  2 of them worked & were great.  But 1 did not work.
So I have to go through the hassle of returning it & replacing it.

I ordered the filter and bacteria treatment then took old unit to shop for cleaning. to my dismay the motor bearings were packed with lint, after comple disassembly and cleaning the motor would work but the control panel failed..
  One other review advised duct taping a regulat furnace filter on the back of unit in place of the inadequate furnished filter which I now see would have been an excellent idea..
  I use the bacteria treatment as additive to my large pot of water on top of woodstove so not all was lost..

I bought it in 2010, and used it for a few times, when my central heating system was being repaired. After putting it away for more than 2 years, I took it out to give to a friend who did not have heat. The heater, which was working when I put it away, no longer worked. We followed the instruction to re-set. It still didn't work.

Installed and had hot water for reasonable amount of time. It was going cold after a short time due to lower heat element not turning on.

The one I received did not work. It was defective.  All it did was hum when I installed it.  Contacted customer service for InSinkErator and they sent a replacement which worked fine.  All in all, the experience was ok, but I ended up having to install two of them.

When the fogger arrived and I took it out of the box it seemed well. After I plugged it in it started to get really hot, and after about 5 minutes it was ready to use. When I pushed the button, the noise went on but fog did not come out. After several attempts, nothing happened. I could see that the fluid was not moving through the tube indicating that the the pump probably didn't work. In the troubleshooting manual, there was nothing on broken pumps, only circuit blowouts. I am sure that if it was in working condition it probably would have been decent.

Our 12yr old dryer started behaving funny.  We could only get it to start in some odd places on the dial, not the normal places, and it seemed to heat randomly or not at all.  I bought a multi-meter, settled down to some youtube instructional videos, and checked all the heating elements in the back, the hot air duct, etc.  Finally I called a repairman who did the same thing.  He said it must be the nob.  I ordered this part, installed it, and the dryer is back to working.

Just tried to use this tonight -would have been the third try if successful- but the appliance will not turn on.  The light just flashes and then turns off after a beep. I've tried everything the troubleshoot guide suggested to do, but nothing, zip.  And it's terrible because I have these beautiful 2" thick gmo-free pork chops from Whole Foods staring at me...  -_-
I really hoped I would have a model that wasn't similar to those other negative reviews, but nope. I wanted to like this but I don't know if it's just cheaply made or I had bad luck with being sent this unit, so either way I would recommend for those interested in a sous vide appliance to just shell out the extra $ and get something much more reliable and made obviously of better quality.

I had high hopes for this system after my ancient one died.  I installed it and it would cycle where it pumped for 3 to 5 seconds and cut off for 10 seconds. I wasn't sure if this was normal so I let it run.  I woke up in the middle of the night to a pow sound and smoke coming out of my septic tank.  Not sure what happened but I'm pretty sure it was something electrical.  I cut the power and pulled it out.  200$ gone.

Mine was broken out of the box. Light on switch turned on but it never would heat up. I returned it and got the Krups unit instead.
