been using this heater with this temp controller and circulating with an ecoplus 1110. takes about ~30 minutes to heat a 12 gallon cooler to ~100f from ~70f. Might not be strong enough for columns but it is more than enough for a jacketed collection pot.
What exactly is that?
That's what I've been using but it's incredibly dangerous.
This looks nice I'm gonna grab one as a backup
Could you elaborate on the question?

I'm still using a warm bath for my 6" but would like to employ a jacketed collection platter for the next build, any photos of a plumbed, warm recirc setup?

umm could you elaborate on that... The water heater has a safety cradle for the heating element and the temp controller is rated for enough power to run the heater. I even pump through the walls to ensure there is minimal electrical devices in my work space.
Works flawlessly and is stupid cheap...
Keeps my 27 gallon tote at whatever temp for however long im running, sometimes 10+ hours...

Which model do you like?
It's a raw heating element dipped in water, if the temp sensor slips out of the water it can overheat. If it's left on the water boils off and it lights on fire. (. I know from experience)

I guess those are valid concerns but mine sits in a cooler with a lid so it could never slip out of the water and I suppose the the temp controller could malfunction but so could any hardware. I still consider the setup to be safe if used properly.
The portable immersion heater montroller says he uses,

seems to be the same design as this taller one, the exact same picture was used in the advertisement...

How many kW heater circulator do I need?
How many kW heater circulator do I need?
I'm trying to determine the amount Watts or kW that I would need in order to maintain approximately 12 gallons of water at 110 F. The water will be flowing through 3 different jacket honey pots that will have about 25 gallons of a propane/butane mixture in two of the vessels and one at about 15-20 gallons. Thank you
