heys guys im not to far off starting the construction of my 3500L outside tank (8x4x4). And i have come across one major problem. As i live in the yarra valley Victoria it gets very cold at night so i need to heat this mass of water to around 22 degrees (as it will have a barra in it). I looked into a pool heater pump but they are around $4000. So thats out of my price range. I was thinking 2 other ways to do it
1. Having a hot water unit set at desired temperature then run a pipe from the outlet thru the tank around the edges back out and connect to the inlet so the pipe will heat my water.
2. Having a hot water unit set at 22 degrees then have a pipe take water from the tank flow through the hot water unit heat up and then exit back into the tank releasing heated water much like a canister filter but this will heat the water not filter it.
What you do think????
Any ideas???
