Wow nice another 300 gal build, glad to see I'm not the only one that takes a long time to build a big system like this. Nice work on everything thus far.

Looks great, Dave.
What are you doing for heating?
I got rid of my electric heaters and replaced it with a closed loop from my domestic hot water tank.
I'm really happy with it, wish I did it a long time ago.

Thanks for the link it was a good read. I think I've accomplished some of that effect but better ha. Better being to spin the gyre from top to bottom, bottom to top.


Grizz Thanks.

Mitch I saw your heater tech from your thread and read about a few more. Did you see the guy who drilled a PVC pipe multiple times to feed the PEX pipe through to form a coil? It was pretty slick. I bought some titanium heaters before I heard of this method, I may go the water heater closed loop before using my heaters I don't know yet. It's a solid idea for sure, Thanks

[MitchM]

No I didn't see the PVC setup.
I had 3 titanium heaters and each one of them split open in the sump.
We're limited for electricity supply out here, so that was a consideration for me as well. We don't have the big 200 amp service available without major expense. We only have 75 amps.

I'll try and find the loop set up for you.
What kind of heaters did you have? I bought these:
800W - FINNEX DELUXE TITANIUM HEATING TUBE

I don't remember the name. I got them from Red Coral in Calgary before they went out of business, but they looked exactly the same as those Finnex and also came in a red box.
The black rubber end caps came off and exposed the wires inside. I'm surprised there was no electrical short fallout from that - including when I reached in the water to pull them out not realizing what had happened.
