Try using a different heater I use the varnado heaters they don’t use large elements and are very cost efficient and very very effective would recommend them to anyone I heat a 10x20 space to any temp I want with fans running with one little box heater that pulls 4 amps when running

I wouldn’t think a disk type heater is the best idea around water

I'm going to buy a 500watt oil filled radiator instead of using this 2,000 watt beast. And if that doesn't fix it I'm going to follow Herb & Suds advice and swap over to HID lighting :)

OOOOOOO,,, your getting screwed to death power wise right now and they have some really messed up energy cost, tax, use and management crap in the UK and EU that most if not all North Americans haven't a clue about. Your not using more power. Your being charged more because of the war and the BS shit storm of a system the UK and EU have. I would have thought you would have been on top of all that crap....

I wouldn’t waste my money on a radiator heater as there only effective in a close area after you move about three feet away or your exhaust kicks on all your heat is gone and the amount of time it takes to make that up your exhaust fan will run again and your back at square one

I'm only in a 4x4 tent dude, the one im using right now seems to keep it nice and warm without loosing heat, but it's just costing too much money, I had about £70 on electric last week and I worked it out to be about 100 dollars

Yeah, I think that's what it is, they are screwing us over and charging us nearly double if not triple the price it should be.
