Titanium Heaters Via Aqua any good?

[TomToro]

I've only used Visi-Therm heaters and have a few crack on me. After reading a thread on a heater breaking and killing everything, I'd like to change to an unbreakable one.

Q: Anybody use the Via Aqua Titanium heaters? If not, is there a standard in the industry that everybody uses or should use?

I did a search and didn't see this brand in the results.


Thanks,
Tom

In my years (close to 20) of experiance I have not had a heater that hasn't leaked at one point or another (besides the old hang on type that had the dial on top). Every submersible heater I've owned has leaked at one time or another. I have used some unknown name brand heaters (too long ago to remeber), Ebo-Jager, Fluval Tronic, Rena, & Marineland more recently.

I currently have Visi-Therm Stealth heaters in all my tanks with the exception of a brand new 500W Titanium heater.

The main thing that I do not like about the visi therm heaters is that if they where to leak you would not know. I use them because of the price and construction. They are not glass and claim that they will not break, even if submerged while hot.

I have one on my 72 bowfrond with my trigger and lionfish and I have no complaints.
