The decision to produce a Titanium heater was made for a number of reasons.

Therefore, this new pro Line Titanium Aquatic Pond heater is also suitable for heating acids and virtually any other liquid. Accurate to + or – 0.5deg C the special thermostats have an internal relay that allows them to be used on a wide range of applications including gas and oil boilers as well as electrical heaters. These units represent very good value for money indeed. To calculate the correct heater size for your application, you will require 1Kw per every 1000 gallons (ie a 3000 gallon pond will need the 3Kw heater) All the units in this range can be connected to a normal 13amp mains supply. These new Pro Line heaters also offer ultimate flexibility in that the heaters and thermostats can be used independently. Should either unit fail, they can therefore be replaced individually and systems can be upgrade from 1kw to 2kw to 3kw using the same thermostat.
