Tenho um igual mas de 300w na minha tartaruga. Está mais do que aprovado. O meu está completamente submergido, inclusive uns 15 cm de fio, e ainda leva porrada da minha tarta.
Eu que pensava "porcaria de porco tresanda". Heis que entrou o Johnny na minha vida e tudo isso mudou.
Tenho um da mesma marca de 50w
Podes por á vontade todo dentro de água e até podes por na horizontal mas não na sua totalidade, eu mandei mail para o apoio a clientes na altura e eles esclareceram-me a duvida.. vou postar aqui o mail
Dear Pedro Miguel Salvador Varela,
We thank you for taking the time to contact us.
Any heater that is marked submersible can be placed totally underwater without any damage to the heater. The confusion often comes from the certification requirements, They do not feel that a power cord should be placed in water at any time, thus they require a water line to be etched on the heater tube to keep the power cord above water. The heater has been designed to be submersible, and is sold that way without markings in many other places in the world. We did not change the totally submersible characteristics when we got approval, just added the particular requirements needed to be accepted.
They do have valid concerns, and although I have never heard of a heater cord failing, you should always inspect the cord for any type of damage as time goes by - either inside or outside the tank. If the heater is suspended but allowed to move, there could be wear and tear on the cord over time. Sometime aggressive fish are kept, and they may bite an exposed cord in the water. If these cases exist, always inspect for damage to the insulation of the power cord over time.
The heater can be submersed in almost any orientation in the water, although we have found that accuracy is best when the heater is placed slightly off vertical with the control area on top and the heater element below.
We have found that the heater should not be placed perfectly horizontal, for some reason the accuracy is impaired in this orientation.
Other tips, since the heater does use the glass tube to radiate heat, it should always be totally surrounded by water, do not allow rock, decorations or gravel to touch the heater, as this will cause uneven temperature differentials that can cause the glass to heat unevenly, stress it and crack. Of course the glass should never be knocked or banged around, as this can weaken the structure and cause breakage at some later date.
Best Regards,
