BLOCK HEATERS........[TANK CIRCULATING TYPE}.
They are excellent here in our cold
Canadian winters, we can get them in 1000,1200 and 1500 watt. One thing to
be sure if instructions say to mount below lowest water level in block.
Enjoy they heat before you start up. Also here, our power supplier says that
they will do as much good if turned on with a timer 4-5 hrs before start up
as they will for any periods longer than that. Get ready, the cold is
coming.
Best regards,
Don.
