Do you need a heater with this produce and what percent waveless is it?
1246544
Yes, a heater on a waterbed is almost a must unless you have a really heavy duty mattress pad. This matress is 80 to 90% waveless with motion stopped in 2 to 3 seconds.

I returned mine unopened. Found water damage to the bed frame, so could no longer use the mattress. Sorry to not be of help.

I do. This is the third winter. No problems. I use the heater on the "low" setting. At high it would be about 1500 watts. At low, a bit over half that. Gets the bathroom warm in a couple minutes

very very very very little - basically none. Only time is when I let it run out of fuel. That is my fault - not the machine. I have had 3 heaters in my lifetime - this one is the best. BTW - I use my as a landloard to unthaw frozen water pipes. Put it in the crawl space and 10 minutes later the water flows....

I used a small heater in mine - one that operated on a thermostat. It saved my plants when we had temperatures in the teens and twenties. Be careful where you place the heater of course, with all the plastic parts. I put mine on a concrete block in the center of the greenhouse and it did perfectly fine. If the oil type space heater is a radiator style, it should be fine. If it has open flame, I would not use it because of the exhaust produced. M Miller

Hardware.... I had a contractor run wire from circuit box in my basement to a double stall garage that I keep my summer car in. And it was well worth it. I should have done this several years ago. The heater has to be run on a separate line due to the 5,000 watt...240 volt draw. You can set the thermostat low so that it only comes on once in a while. Amazing how well this heater works in a double stall garage. If you were to heat a single garage the next smaller unit would do the job quite well.

Don't know about wattage (can't be much tho), but there is no heater besides the piezo itself on the bottom.

Nope. It's only 400 Watts, and even with the temp reading 71 degrees, I held my palm on the flat surface for a minute with no discomfort. I would NOT allow kids or pets close to it, and I'd be sure to keep the space in front and around it clear of any paper, fabric, anything flammable. It gives off a gentle, warm heat, and is not intended to be the sole source of heat.

No, but doesn't need one, very efficient, no heating probs. Extremely quiet.

glenda, sorry i can`t help you. i use mine for cold application only. without a micro wave i think it would be impossable. direct heat from a direct source might well ruin it. i just use a heating pad.

I am currently Using a 100 watt light bulb without issue. I'm not sure about a ceramic heater but as long as it isn't near anything flammable it should be fine.

You can use it, but without a reflector such as: http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-FLCDG125D-Fluorowing-Compact-Fluorescent/dp/B001UV6P9I/ref=pd_sim_lg_1b (bulb that comes with the hood is for vegetative stage, colder blue spectrum) much of the light will not be directed towards the tomato plants. Use the warm bulb for the flower and fruiting stages. Found this lamp to be of some use for supplemental fill in areas not well lit by the primary light source. Serious (small 4'x4' up to 6'x6') greenhouse vegetable growers are better off with: http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-Digital-Greenhouse-%20600w-HPS-Grow-Light ,use the standard 92,000 lumens bulb that comes with it for flowering and purchase the GrowBright 600w MH Conversion Bulb (72,000 lumens) ($44.00) for vegetative growth.

No. A heat lamp would melt the plastic if it was too close. You can use a high output CFL plant light. Use a seedling heat mat and controller for warmth.

I live in Brisbane, Australia so do not need heating so didn't notice. After closer inspection, however, it seems there is no place to plug the heater in on mine either. Probably something people in colder climates need to be aware of!

sorry, I cannot see a temperature scale on it. however, if you really only want to use enough electricity to prevent freezing, this unit is not appropriate because it will be on much more than the minimum to do what you need. Suggest you look at greenhouse thermostat, which will control a heater to come on at any temperature down to freezing, and costs about $35 on eBay. It will control up to 10 Amps, which will be a heater of about 1200 Watts, more than you will need to prevent freezing. What do you do when the power goes off, or does it not? My solution would be to use a heat pipe to bring heat up from the earth below. You can make one with a length of copper pipe.

This heater is rated as 110 volts. There are converters on the market which will reduce the voltage from 240 down to 110 allowing you to use the unit. Without the converter you would fry the heater and cause possible damage to yourself and your surroundings.
