Suggestions
• We recommend 25 watts for every 10 degrees of ambient temperature per 10 gallons you need to raise your aquarium temperature. EX: If your home is 68 degrees and you have a 40 gallon aquarium, to reach a temperature of 78 degrees you would need a 100 watt heater.
The above calculation is HIGHLY accurate, and despite what many manufacturers print on their boxes in an attempt to get you to purchase a more expensive higher wattage heater, this formula/calculation is what should be followed.
• The Via Aqua Quartz/ Glass and Titanium (ReSun as well) are FULLY submersible heaters. The minimum water line is for the LEAST amount of water covering the heater, in other words, the heater should never out of the water past this line while plugged in. I recommend letting a operating heater cool down (in water) for 10 minutes prior lowering water level past this point.
With a new heater or when refilling an aquarium after a water change, we recommend placing the heater under/below the minimum water line at least 10 minutes prior to plugging in the heater.
Please note that the instructions for the Via Aqua Heater (#2 & #3 on the instruction sheet) is stating to not get the controller wet, this refers to the compromise of the internal controller via damage, a broken seal, etc. that allows moisture into the heater, NOT that the heater cannot be submersed.
• The manufacturer recommends indoor use, HOWEVER this is simply for legal protection (for them) as I have used these heater in mobile outdoor “ponds” that I have moved in and out of my business and other outdoor applications with no problems.
• The heaters are best installed in an upright position as this minimizes the chance of water leaks around seals, HOWEVER I have used these (& other brands) in horizontal positions with few additional problems.
• Warranty 6 months with proper use. Warranty void if not used properly as noted above
