heaters in overflow?

[ron101]

I always keep a heater in the tank. Yes it is not as stealth but if the return pump ever blows or seizes, there will still be heat in the main tank.

OK for heaters in the overflow, but you have to remember that if you ever shut off the return pump (or it stopped), the overflows would go dry. Dry heater = bad.

my overflow dosent go dry when my return pump is shut off it just drops 2"

Yeah, I guess the assumption is that your overflow doesn't drain when the pumps stop.
