immersion heater installed
« 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

Well done Bob, it's worth the effort come the chilly weather later this year.
Funny, I felt exactly the same feeling when cutting the hole in my tank   ;D
