Water Heater for isolated spots

    Hi,

    Does anyone know if a device exists for heating water, (just to about 15 degrees or so), and keeping it at that temperature overnight?

    Or i could just heat the water using other means, and then the device would just need to maintain that water temperature overnight.

    needs to be operated in isolated areas, so, operated with gas, or solar or something like that?

    Would also need to be fairly large - say, if box sized, would need to be about 1 meter squared.

    any ideas??

    Square meter, but how deep? A cubic meter is 1,000L (a ton!) of water and a lot to heat and maintain.

    well, maybe a bit less then.

    it would need to be at least 500mm wide, x 500mm long, x 250mm deep

    also, wouldn't have the heat the water, only maintain the heat (can be heated using another source), and would only need to maintain it at 15-20 degrees, overnight..
