Why Ground Heaters?
Mobile Glycol Heaters allow you to keep your projects going no matter what the temperature or how much snow falls. Ground Heaters work just like radiant floor heat only for the outdoors. Evenly place 5/8" heater hose on an area of frozen ground or curing concrete. Then cover the hoses with a poly vapor barrier and insulating blankets to keep the heat and moisture directed into the ground. The two coil heaters warm the environmentally friendly propylene glycol in the reservoir to 180 F. The field pump then circulates the heated glycol through the field hoses and back to the reservoir for re-heating. Now you are ready to thaw up one foot of ground per day, ensure the curing of your concrete and keep surface temperatures up.
