Title: immersion heater installed
Post by: bobplum on May 06, 2012, 08:35:32 pm: yesterday into my 400 lt tank in van
I must admit even as a plumber its still scary drilling a hole into a perfectly good tank :-\ and only thinking the worst
but its all installed tested and looking forward to WINTER ;D
i might actually try using it as a hot system all year,but not too sure yet,it might come in handy for gutter and conny roof cleans

Funny, I felt exactly the same feeling when cutting the hole in my tank ;D
