How warm should the water get when the heater is on?

I have never taken the temperature of the water but the heater is strong enough to keep the water from freezing in all weather we have experienced in Minnesota over the past two seasons, last year being much colder. If I had to guess I would have to say somewhere in the upper 30's.

The water will get warm enough to keep from freezing,though you must not ignore for days due to evaporation.Also keep clean for the birds just like you do in the summer time that algae will form in this.I use a capful of bleach in a gallon of water in a milk jug & store at room temp to keep from freezing.Good luck & enjoy your feathered friends!

The heater just keeps it so it won't freeze. It does not make the water hot. I think it stays about 32 degrees.

This is how it works; Supply water temp is 60. Hot water heater is outputting 2.6 gallons a minute. Raises incoming water temp at that rate 40 degrees with unit on high. Keep the unit on high and slow the incoming water flow to 1/2 that and it'll raise the water temp 90 or so degrees. Higher the temp of incoming water supply higher the output will be. Just that simple.

I'm guessing that you are starting with really cold water. The heater can only raise the temperature up just so much - 40-50 degrees, I don't remember.The trick is to discharge the heated water into your source bucket which heats it up and pretty quick you'll have water coming out of the discharge end way hotter than you'd want to shower in.Hope this helps.

there is a control knob on the front of heater lower face. I have it set one mark below the a onthe dail . this gives me 125 drgee water at the closes tap

It should be installed at the furthest distance from the water heater so all locations have hot water each time the system is run. This was per the instructions. It is also how the system was originally installed in my house when it was built.

It is normal for the water unit to be hot as the water is heated. However, my unit malfunctioned that I had 2 or 3 units eventually after warranty replacements and none were satisfactory. Have replaced with April air unit which is much superior.

There are 2 temps, high or low. I only use the heaters in the bathroom as needed and don't keep them on longer than an hour. They have never overheated, but I wouldn't trust any electric heater left alone for a long time. Excellent heater

Hello RaeRae, You answer is not so simple. The capacity of a heater not only depends on the heater itself, but the original temperature of the medium. Even though this is rated for a larger tank than you are asking about, if the place the tank will be in much colder than average is may be a good choice. If your water starts at 65 degrees, and you want it at 78, this may work for you. If you start at 72, this may get the water hotter than you want. Another aspect to consider is how much water movement you have in your tank. The more water movement, the better the heat will be distributed, and the water will be closer to the thermo's temp setting. I agree with JR, I have not seen any for that small of a size. You could look at reptile heating accessories that afix to the outside of the tank, it would be a hack though.

Make sure you have enough flow volume. Check minimum water flow to turn heater on(min gph to operate)

Let the water get tepid or lukewarm, before adding water. Do you use a heater? if so, set it the water to the temperature in the tank before adding.

My water heater is located inside my house so it is not subjected to cold weather. The water from the well that comes in is very cold and the water does not get as warm on very cold days. I live in a mild (California) climate.

It is difficult to determine, the temp on the front of the heater is the desired temp of the room. I set my heater 2 degrees above my heat pump thermostat. The heat pump does not come on. I had trouble with my humidifier unit, called customer service and had a new one in 3 days. I am very satisfied with it. My son bought one too.

It is warm right away. Occasionally there is a slight rise in temperature after the initial start of warm water.

It depends on how warm you keep the room that the aquarium is on. If you keep the room temp at 75F, the water temp will be about 73 in the aquarium. Therefore if you only need the aquarium temp to be 78-80, that means it only has to raise the temp 5-7 degrees. You go by the room tempuature to determine how much wattage of heater you need. I personally use two on my 120gal to keep a more consistent temp throughout the tank because I have a cannister filter on both ends.

No it wont feel warm. It has an automatic thermostat that will only come on as needed to keep the water from freezing. I just replaced the one i bought 8 years ago. I hope this one , which is the same brand, lasts as long

The water that comes out is as hot as the tap water you put in the reservoir. I just add straight hot tap water, so apx. 120 degrees, or hotter depending on your hot water tank settings.

Mine regulates the water temperature near the heater to 50°F for ambient temperatures between 29 and 50°F. In that range the thermostat opens and closes to provide the average power needed to hold the temperature to 50°F. When the air temperature and/or sun raise the water temperature above 50°F the thermostat is continuously off.
