So to clear the post topic up, whats the strangest thing you’ve thought about trying to heat with your OWB or for dealers what’s the strangest thing you’ve either done or been asked about if a OWB can heat it?
I’ve three that are kinda outside the norm.
First was for a honey room, needs to be 114 degrees F for the honey to flow well from the combs, but also needs to be able to hit 140 degrees F if the honey is froze or crystalized.
Back during the labor day festival I had a guy ask if he installed a OWB if he could heat his aquariums. Sounded like he had a 65, 125, and a 150 gallon aquarium. It could be done, just not sure its worth it. Decided on if something like that was attempted would need a separate loop and heater for each, as if you use a common heater and one loop for all the aquariums if you get one sick tank, your gonna have three sick tanks in no time. I have four atm myself. Two have been established for awhile and I use a set of common tools for them. Tongs, gravel vac, etc. I also have a 14 gallon we just set up with cherry shrimp, panda cory’s and a half-moon betta. Have a 29 gallon that has plants, fish and nerite snails in it that is under quarantine yet. Have separate tools for each, use a common gravel vac for those two but the 14 gallon is done first, then the quarantine, then the gravel vac goes on the back porch to sit in the sun for a week.
Last one is what I’m installing now, has a 30x40 pole barn, will be adding a 20x30 addition for a kiln room then another 20x30 to place his saw mill. The 30x30 will be his main work area and will be more environmentally managed than his house. He wants it at a steady 70 all winter. He’ll also be adding both a dehumidifier for the summer and a humidifier for the winter. He makes some really quality stuff, closer the moisture and temp stays all the time less swelling or shrinkage he has to deal with when building furniture.
