Theres no need to put a heater in the barrel, the heat is applyed in the HWH and then it is left to settle overnight. Particle matter and suspended water will fall out of the oil when its heated up. You cant speed the settling process anymore than this. It just takes a little heat and then gravity does the rest over several hours time.
I have 200.00 in the tank, 360.00 in the filter housing, 250.00 in the pump and the various valves and plumbing stuff was another 100.00

Why is there no need to put a heater in the barrel? If I put the oil in there and let it sit for a week or so in 0 degree weather, I think I'm going to have a heck of a time to pump it over to the HWH no? What makes this different from a Bio filter, as far as filtering goes? Just a whole different process together? I know I can get the various plumbing and fittings at no cost, I already have a 55 gallon drum, I may be able to get some sort of a pump as well. Is there anything special to look for in a pump and a HWH?
