Titanium Heaters

[Tazmaniancowboy]

I purchased a 1000w JBJ tru temp titanium heater with controller through one of our sponsors. When I opened the package I was impressed and for the next couple of months, it was awesome how my temp no longer fluctuated as much as it always did. Then I ran into the problem that I have now read lots of people run into in a short time of use....The heating element burnt out! Now not only was I angry that this happened, but I was also let down by the party I purchased it from with no offer to help at all(but that is besides the point!).

So I missed out on the warranty because life got busy and I now have to buy another element. I do not see replacements sold anywhere??? They all can't be bad because I read mixed reviews. I want to give JBJ a second shot at redemption, but can't find the replacement I need. Has anybody seen these elusive things???

If I can't find a JBJ replacement, I see that Coralvue now makes one that would plug into my JBJ controller....any thoughts or experience with them?

Any other Titaniums out on the market?

I'm using a blueline 500 watt titanium heater with my controller. Can't vouch for its long term reliability since I've only had it about 5 months but so far so good. I picked it up from champion lighting for around 35 or 40 dollars.

Don, you’re talking to a limited number of people who don’t have swimming pools for fish tanks. Not many of us use 1000W heaters. I’m a Jager believer, but they only go up to 300W....and they are glass. I’d suggest posting this over on RC or R2R.

Blueline has a 1000 watt model

I have also been using the blue line 500 watt for over a year now but with a apex I think it's a good heater

When the float switch on my JBJ ATO went by the way side I was in a similar situation. No one sells just the JBJ replacement float switches. So I called them up and I was able to purchase the float switch right from them. The lady on the phone was very friendly and helpful and I had a new switch in 3 days. I would call them direct for a replacment.
