AQUAKING HEATER

The heater for regulating the water temperature of the nutrient solution tank is an essential tool in hydroponic agriculture and horticulture. A detailed description of its features and functions is provided below:

Main Features:

Submersible and Versatile: This heater is designed to be submerged in the nutrient solution tank water and can be placed either horizontally or vertically. Its versatile design makes it easy to install in various types of hydroponic growing systems.

Temperature Control: The main function of the heater is to maintain the water temperature in the reservoir within an optimal range. This is crucial because water temperatures that are too cold or too hot can negatively affect plant growth. The ideal temperature is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius.

Preventing Stress to Plants: A cold water supply can cause stress to plants, which slows down their metabolism and hinders their healthy development. The heater helps maintain a constant and proper water temperature, which promotes optimal growth and prevents plant stress.

Preventing Problems: Maintaining a constant temperature in the nutrient solution tank is also essential to avoid problems such as oxygen starvation and pathogen proliferation. Water that is too hot can decrease oxygen holding capacity and increase the risk of pathogen infections, while cold water can hinder nutrient uptake.

Varied Capacities: This heater is available in two different capacities: 300 watts and 500 watts. The choice of capacity depends on the volume of the tank and the amount of water that needs to be heated.

Recommended Maintenance: To ensure the proper functioning and durability of the heater, it is recommended to unplug the heater for at least 15 minutes before changing the nutrient solution. This prevents damage to the heater and ensures its continued efficiency.

In summary, the nutrient solution tank heater is an essential tool in hydroponic farming. Its ability to maintain the water temperature within an optimal range is crucial for healthy plant growth and the prevention of water temperature related problems. The available capacities of 300W and 500W allow to adapt to different sizes of hydroponic growing systems.
