Cold War Heroes - How to Use Nutrient Heaters
Don't let your roots get chilly - unless you want plants to get stressed & struggle.
It's quick & easy to keep roots warm - a Heavy Duty Nutrient Heater will do the trick. Here's how to use them.
Pick a Size
You need 1W per Litre of nutrient - e.g. if you have a 150L tank, you need a 150W nutrient heater.
Or, in other words:
| Number of Heaters | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 Watt | 150 Watt | 300 Watt | |
| Up to 50 Litres | 1 | ||
| Up to 150 Litres | 1 | ||
| Up to 300 Litres | 1 | ||
If your tank is larger than 300 Litres, just buy multiple heaters.
Setting Up
Whatever size you've got, the instructions are practically the same.
Step 1
Remove from packaging and clip on the suction cups, if not attached already
Step 2
Plug into a suitable socket (switched off)
Step 3
Place it horizontally at the base of your system / tank, and push down gently so the suction cups stick in place.
Step 4
Twist the dial at the top of the heater to set your temperature - we recommend aiming for around 20oC.
Step 5
Turn on the mains suppy and leave your heater running at all times
Step 6
Make sure your nutrient solution never drops below your nutrient heater
