it all depends on the amount of water you can usually get by with a 10 gallon heater
I would not use a heater of less than 100 watts for anything. The price difference is minimal between 50 watts and 300 watts. Basically it is only the comparative physical size of the tank and the heater that decides how 'big' a heater should be. My usual surmise is "bigger is better" because it will not have to work as hard or as long as a smaller wattage one.
Yes but you will not get the full watt rating out of the tank. Watts = amps x volts. Say the tank draws 20 amps. 20A x 240V = 4800 watts. 20A x 208V = 4160 watts. It will take longer to heat your water with less wattage.
Yes, any turtle, whether from a pet store or not, needs a water heater. The water temperature, for most aquatic turtles, should be from 74-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The average size water tank is 4500 watts. The generator's supply will be large enough to operate the water tank. Larger tanks over 5000 watts will not heat correctly.
Watts in a Tank was created in 1980.
The GE water heater SE50M12AA01 is a 5500 watts or 5.5 Kilowatts water tank. The amperage on such a tank is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Since most hot water tanks in North America use a voltage of 240, the amps will be 22.9 amps. It must be fed with a #10 conductor from a 30 amp breaker.
For a general cost ,A 1500 w tank heater will be $103.00 per month. Go to morgransou.com/energy calculator, then click on farm equipment.
A tank, Uvb lights, basking land, water filter, water heater , stones and food.
It depends what type of turtle. My yellow bellied turtle (yellow bellied slider) in Scotland cost me £18, but that wasn't the tank, filter, water heater or heat lamp, (you may also need a UV lamp) that was just the turtle.
a tank alligator?
Which ever one you purchased. They are all rated different, if your talking 50gal well most are around 4500watts. But somewhere on the tank or the paper work that you got with the heater,tells you what wattage of the elements is. If you can't find it, you should be able to see who the MFG of the heater is and model#, you can go online to the mfg website and find info on the heater.
YES, you can put a map turtle in the same tank with a slider.
