Internal, external, mostly Heater Mate , I believe.1800 to 2000 watts.My machine uses a 3 piston General pump to 2 1103 jets, so the flow rate is fairly high. The best was the the Little Giant, but that was propane.

Concur with Ed, High flow with a portable electric heat exchanger sucks. Low flow would will give you better heat.

I'm goin' on 36 and I already know women WAY past their prime. You're only young once. Procrasination can be a tough thing to swallow when you look back and think "coulda, shoulda".

You're right Mr. Mike..........but sometimes we can jump into a hot fire.....by the time we make our mind up weighing in all the variables and equations.......it's too late............so what you're saying is that if we see a beautiful woman waiting for a bus.........just go up to her and put the moves on her and hope for the best

Willy,
The only electric in-line heater that would keep up with high flow and high pressure was 220 amp of power. Kleen Rite actually has a dual unit that has 2 110 power cords. But these 2 cords coupled with a powerful 2 cord machine would be a fuse blower. At this point we are limited to our 110 power.

The best in-line electric heater is a simple device called a kite, at the tip you attach a key and wait for a storm, as the lightning hits the key , drop your handle in the water and watch it get hotter than anything you've seen before............

Hey Folks,
I have it on good authority that Powr-Flite and CFR (they are owned by the same firm) will be introducing a new patented technology called "Perfect Heat" within the next month or so.
I have seen the test data. It outperforms the best (Kleen Rite? US Products? Ninja?) by a substantial margin. In fact, there is one configuration that will maintain heat at about 150 degrees with the entire machine drawing about 18 amps on one cord! Higher flow units, 400PSI-500PSI for example require two cords but maintain heat levels much higher than current technology. These are REAL results over long periods of time in real use situations, not the bogus claims many of the companies are making that you all know are not true.
I can't give the details of the technology just yet as patents are being applied for. Look for more details in about 30 days or so.

Ted's right on ,once again, when it comes to ELECTRIC heaters here in the States, and their LIMITATIONS.
However, some will always want to believe they can put alot more coins into their already full Piggy Bank that's ready to explode.
The beat goes on..................................
