Default How long does BH take?
How long should the bottle heater take to get pressure around 950. I am using the 300 watt CFN heater with pressure switch. Prior to heating pressure was around 600. Its about 40* outside. What do you think?

I have had it take upto an hour. It just depends on ambient air temps. I will say that a 300 watt heater will heat a bottle in 80% of the time it takes a 240watt heater, at what ever air temp.

So is this a 'math' thing?? If you want your heater to 'UP' the pressure
quicker then a bottle heater is a good investment.
