25W Aquarium Heater IP68 Waterproof

You can confidently leave the Aquarium Heater operating round-the-clock as it is designed for continuous use. Equipped with an internal thermostat, these heaters automatically switch off the heat once the desired temperature is reached, effectively maintaining the water temperature within a few degrees of the set value.

During the installation process, it is important to allow the heater to adjust to the temperature of the aquarium water. It is recommended to let it acclimate for approximately 20 to 30 minutes before plugging it in. This precautionary step helps prevent any potential damage caused by sudden temperature changes, ensuring the heater remains intact. Additionally, it is essential to always submerge the heater fully in water when it is turned on. Some models may even feature a marked line indicating the minimum water level. By adhering to this guideline, the heater can accurately measure the water temperature and regulate the heating process accordingly. It is crucial to avoid running the heater while exposed to dry air, as this can lead to overheating or damage. Hence, remember to unplug the heater or turn off the power strip during water changes.

Fortunately, maintaining an aquarium heater is relatively hassle-free unless you wish to remove algae buildup. In such cases, a gentle scrub with a toothbrush can help. However, if you need to handle the heater directly, it is advisable to wait at least 30 minutes for it to cool down to avoid any burns or injuries.
