Titanium Heaters

[RonD]

I run visitherms now and find them so so at best. Been looking for an all round tougher heater to do about 200+ gallons. is there a better style / brand of these Titanium Heaters than others ? Pros and or cons of a Titanium Heater as well.

Or is there one up from even these - something even better?

thanks Ron

The Jalli titanium heaters are pretty good, as are the Won brothers. Although the Won brothers controllers have been having a lot of problems. But in any event you should have a temperature controller like a medusa or Ranco to correct that. I would say that any titanium heater is good, but their controllers almost always suck. Get a titanium heater, and a good single or dual stage temperature controller. Good luck.

The only con that comes to mind is that they can short out killing everything in your system, even with a ground probe. A friend of mine had this happen a few months ago.

I run two Finnex titanium heaters on a dual Ranco controller. Is working well, knock on wood.

I agree with the Finnex heaters also, they have been serving me well for a third winter. It was a good idea to go with a lesser wattage and mutiple heaters. More surface area exposed to the water means less wear on the heater. TinMan

www.jehmco.com These guys have titanium heaters without the cheap controllers attached. Get a good heavy duty controller. I run 2 500 watt and 1 300 watt on my 380 gl system.
