You said in January that you have been using aquarium heaters for the past three years. Do you think your warm water prevents freezing or the ipa?
Quote from January:
if gazza reads this post he will back me up on what i write .
ive used aquarium heater in my van tank 400 ltr for the last 3 years , i gave gazza the same type of heater i use which is a 300w this will get your water to a luke warm temp but you will never miss a days work by using 1 , allso as the water heats up in your van this gives a radiator effect so keeps the rest of your stuff from freezing .
im just in the process of having a static system frame built which runs off my central heating ,it will never get my water to a boiling temp but it will never freze eithe
yes thats true mate i did put that based on the previous years of using a aquarium heater i didnt say that i was using it in january of this year i made the post in january on what ive done previously and this as kept me working .
a answer to your question on the warm water or ipa kept the water from freezing = at the start of this year i didnt have a drive and couldnt really use a heater as i was in between moving it was just a case of fill my van up from my static tank all i used was ipa and i worked when others didnt so im going to say ipa prevented my water freeezing .
if you want to keep reading my back post i hope you can pick up a few good tips that ive tried to share with others .
That's interesting because I couldn't work for five weeks from the end of December and into
January which is why I looked at your back posts to see if you did. If you beat the big freeze with a coke can full of ipa then I'll be ordering some in. If you kept working because of warming your tank then I'll look at that option instead.
