Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / September 2005Ebo heaters
The blurbs for Ebo Jager heaters claim they're 'submersible to water line.' Does this mean that if they slip down above the water line, they're going to take on water? -- I have had some stick in the "on" position after they've been submerged for months at a time. I have two in my 280g's sump, but they are plugged into a controller to shut them off at the power source if the tank's temperature rises. Hydor seems to believe in their fully submersible heaters, and they also sell a $80 controller than can handle up to 500w worth of heaters.

The reason they are marked as not being fully submersible is to meet Canadia UL listing. The regs in Canada will not allow the heater to be fully submersible so it is it is marked with a water level so it can be sold in Canada, even though it is the same heater that used to be sold without the markings before they expanded there markets. Kim Seems strange that a manufacture would through away their products ability to be submersed, just to be able to sell it in Canada. Does Canada not allow any aquarium heaters to be submersed, or did they not approve that one for submersability?
