How many gallons does this heater service?

How many gallons you are trying to keep from freezing over and I not sure what wattage you are looking at? I have 2 ponds (2500 and 3000 gals. between 3 & 4 ft. deep) I have the 1500 Watt and just to keep an area open I could have probably gone with the lowest wattage and still had an area that didn't freeze over. The depth of your pond will also determine how quickly it will freeze, the deeper the pond the better and the less wattage needed. I live In Canada just across the border from Buffalo, NY.

I have a cement fish pond that is 14 feet by 5 feet (weird shape) and 3-4 feet deep..I believe I figured it at over 2000 gallons at one point.I run it during the night about 12 hours (on a timer) so there is about a 4 foot melted circle when its consistently 18-28 degrees outside (in Michigan). I have it parked by a bank of rocks the fish lurk in to keep oxygen to the surface and the fish okay (they do fine). The local foxes and birds hang out here as well for water. If its for stock water, Id guess it would heat a lot better in a much smaller tank or pond. I dont think you need to melt the whole thing.

Mine is a 1500w unit. Since I no longer have the box or the conversion chart, I'm really not 100% sure but I think it is for about 350-500 gallons. My pond is not that big and this unit works flawlessly, hope that helps.

Our original unit purchased in 2004 had a two year warranty for the heater but I see no information regarding the waterer itself. We purchased a new unit recently for our daughter's barn and is being installed now. I did notice a warranty card with the information provided but did not pay attention to the actual terms. Might visit their website for additional information or call Brower.

3 years. It's not as long as other units, but it's probably one of, if not the best quality heater on the market. I'm beyond the 3 year mark with mine and I love it. It sure beats having a tank heater that requires maintenance and a fear of leaking. As far as I'm concerned I'm expecting a 15+ year lifespan and wouldn't be surprised to surpass 25 years. A tank heater is lucky to last over 12 years.

Without the ice cone it holds 3 gallons. If you remove BOTH the ice cone and the insulating basin (which sits inside the main basin) then it will hold 3.5 gallons.

We have a 12x24' above ground pool, 52". That's 9.300 gallons. Northern NJ. It heats the water with no problem. Just letting you know, this is our third one in several years. They only last 2-4 years. We have tried other brands and gave up. Now we just get the cheapest one.. (we take the heater inside every winter).

Look at the size chart, 300-watt only good to 80-85 gallons. You would need something like 2 500-watt heaters or 1 1000-watt heater. Good luck.

just a note...this does not hold 8 gallons. 8 refers to the model. the viewing area of the tank is about 6 gallons

Not this unit. It is only 2.5 gallons. Great for under the bathroom sink for washing hands but not enough hot water for a shower.

very very very very little - basically none. Only time is when I let it run out of fuel. That is my fault - not the machine. I have had 3 heaters in my lifetime - this one is the best. BTW - I use my as a landloard to unthaw frozen water pipes. Put it in the crawl space and 10 minutes later the water flows....

55 gallons to 90 gallons. It is not suitable for a 10 gallon tank (as one reviewer mentioned). The heater is too long to fit in smaller tanks, and has far more wattage than needed for anything less than a 55 gallon.

Hello. I wanted to start by noting the heater I received is not the one in the picture. It is shorter and thicker, and only has one suction cup at the top.That said, I bought this one because it was the lowest wattage I could find for my 1 gallon tank. The recommendations I found said 7 watts for 1.5 gallons and up, 5 watts for 1 gallon and up. I have not seen any for smaller tanks than that.

Hard to answer since it's just two of us. But it's rated for 200 gallons and we haven't had to change it before that gallon count. It does seem to last much longer (months) than our previous culligan one.

Don't know how many gallons, but it is sturdy. We enjoy this unit and it looks nice on our deck

I am guessing it is approximately fifteen gallons, twenty at the most. This is very nice and has an excellent pump that comes with it. I purchased this for my mother and she loves it, now I want one.

One gallon tank? This would be seriously too much for that. I'm using it in a 26 gallon tank. There must be smaller and cheaper heaters for small tanks.

From what I understand, it's a 6-gallon tank. Mine was great until I moved and it started to leak badly. Sure liked it up to that point.
