How is the unit powered by Propane? Is it connectable to a portable tank, like a BBQ Grill or..?

We have two large propane tanks from the gas company. Heater works great in West Virginia. The small ones for a grill will not work

I have propane tanks in the backyard to heat up the pool itself. A propane company installed them years ago. They fill the tanks up at the beginning of each summer season. How is your pool heated now? This heater comes in 2 different options: gas or propane. Each needs to have the lines installed professionally I believe. Ask your pool people. I would not attempt BBQ grill tanks etc..

It uses propane for fuel, but needs a large source tank and supply line. Mine is hooked up to a 500 gallon propane tank and piped with an underground supply line 3/4"

This unit comes ready to connect to no smaller than a 100lb. propane tank...it also can be switched over to hook up to your home's gas line. Either way, it MUST be installed by Professional Pool and Plumbing services...it also requires a permit/inspection by your town. It cost me over $1,100 just for the installation. Take a look at the manual for this unit at Pentair's website as well as call them at the number printed on the manual. Also check the codes for your town. Best to get ALL the info. before jumping in. God Bless!

Yes - I use the propane tank from my grill. I use this unit to brew beer - it works great.

As shipped it is propane, but you can buy a natural gas converter for the grill (which is what we did).

Not sure I understand the question? I use it with a normal portable propane tank.

It does not come with the regulator or hose necessary for hookup. I already had the items from a previous propane unit I was replacing. If you are hooking up to a portable propane tank, the regulator on the tank may or may not be sufficient. If you are hooking up to a bulk tank, you probably already have a regulator installed where the propane line enters the house. Again, this may or may not be sufficient. The best thing to do is get in touch with a local propane supplier to find out what is necessary and LEGAL in your state. As a side note, the unit also does not contain the floor mount kit to leave it on the floor rather than mounting it to the wall. No big deal for me, but I believed it was included when I ordered it. Over all this is a wonderful unit and I am very happy with it.

It is designed to be hooked up to a standard tank not a portable. It comes with a 3/8 flare fitting(male) so your supply hose needs a female and a pressure regulator. It is also designed to be in a box or cabinet. We have it and love the the two different burners.

It uses D batteries to light the unit and propane to heat it. I use my truck battery to power the water pump which is separate from the unit. Very great portable shower

Seriously? The grill is fueled by propane. Small, portable propane tanks similar to the one in the picture can be purchased in any camping section.

The propane tank is separate. I did find this infrared grill can get very hot, so finding the right settings/temps can be an art form. Once you get it down, it works very well but there is the danger of overcooking if you're not careful.

If you have a regular sized propane tank, such as for a barbeque grill, that's the connector on the tank. This device connects into the tank, and then you connect the barbeque propane supply line onto the other end of this device. Make sense?

I don't know if it can, we have not used the burner that way, we hook it up to a portable tank. Sorry.

The tank shown is just disposable. If you are using the heater to heat a garage I would recommend you purchase the hose and adapter to connect to a 20lb. propane tank. Running the heater on high I have been hard pressed to get more than 4 hours per 1lb tank.

It powers the burner. The burner uses the propane to heat the mosquito repellent mat. If you have mosquitoes around you and don't want them around you, this is a great product. If you buy it and don't like it for some reason, you should be able to resell it on craigslist. Every hunter I know has at least one. I have three of them so my kids can have one when we are hunting.

Yes, because it is not plugged into anything. We have it connected to our propane tank (professionally done).

This is a portable. Amazon also sell the built in model (for some reason at an increased price!). Either way, we are very pleased with its performance in our RV. The propane cooktop is redundant.

This tank is set up to supply propane to a propane engine like a forklift. It requires a different kind of hose hook up than what a Coleman piece of equipment would use.
