+1! I'm on my second one and the first one is still working after about 13 years of not being exactly babied. Highly recommend.

From what I heard there is not a recall on heaters allready purchsed... Marineland just pulled all their stock from the shelves, and discontinued the product because its garbage...
If you had a faulty heater, you could get a refund or glass replacement. I just sent back 5 broken stealth heaters and asked for glass replacements..
jager heaters are about the best.

Yeah, I swapped my marinelands for Jagers as well.

OK should it be the Jager 250 W Heater 17 inch UL approved or the Hydor THEO Heater 400 Watt?




It is a recall on purchased heaters as well. This is a copy of a retailer's letter that was sent out

IMO ebo jagers are the best I've only had one fail in all my years and it wasn't an issue because I have a controller

[masonicman]

Same with me. I have a temp controller.
