<p>Adam,</p>
<p>yes you can us a heater element. But there are some seals brackets to get and wiring to do,for the water heater element. I got the wallpaper steamer second hand at a garage sale For 6 bucks, to remove the window tent in a jeep. My total for this build was 15 bucks not including the 6 for the steamer. If i was building new I problem get a water heater element but the steamer comes with everything you need but the pipe. and control but the steamer has a standard wall plug cord…</p>

If i was building new I problem get a water heater element but the steamer comes with everything you need but the pipe. and control but the steamer has a standard wall plug cord with ground. so you can just plug it it and unplug it. This was not an option for me because I am not at the farm every day.</p>

<p>It took about 2 days to get 700 gal up to 70 from 40 with this 1500w heater. Not looking forward to adding the first 2 1400 gallon tanks. That will take 16 days for a 1500w heater to bring 2800 gallon up to temp.<img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Tongue.gif"/> I will be building a bigger heater soon.</p> Sweet build, I need to get on…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2013-01-17:4778851:Comment:4299492013-01-17T19:10:50.680ZAdam Vicknairhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/AdamVicknair
Sweet build, I need to get on that for next year, as here in Texas winter is almost over already :D Couldn't you have just gotten a water heater element rather than taking apart the steamer? Dunno, just figured it might be cheaper that way. Kinda curious if there is any specific reason you used that kind of heating element.
