$50 says the warranty with the product has a limited liability clause that only covers the physical heater itself and wont cover any other damages caused by the heater malfuntioning.
every product has the clause. Though some lawsuits have been very successful in turning over a LL clause but it takes $$...lots of $$ |

I agree with the pipe bomb analogy. It would likely have taken my hand off if I had been holding the heater. Look what it did to someone elses tank!
That picture is from this thread - http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/eq...ro-heater.html The first page shows a tank blown out by an exploding Stealth Pro Heater. There are several more exploding heaters throughout the thread. Another thread can be found here: http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...th-Pro-Heater& There are so many examples of this happening. I really think it is all of these heaters. They haven't all exploded yet, but one day they may. Last edited by abcha0s; 02-11-2011 at 09:19 PM. |

That thread mentions copper in the heater as well. This isn't like treating fish in a tank with copper where it can potentially make a tank unfit for reefs? I'm guessing an actual piece of metal is not the same.

When it was time for a new heater I did search the net and came upon the tanks with the bomb hole, still couldn't believe the heater did this. But as a precaution I took it out of my tank(I used this heater for over a year)Now I only use it to do water changes.
So sorry for everyone's bad luck, it must be devastating. |
