Product Information
Cast aluminum, Teflon coated, 500 watt,
120V heater and multiple thermostats all-in-one with 6 ft. cord and 120V
plug-in end. To be used in plastic units. Measures 4 3/4"
in diameter x 1 1/4" tall. Three legs, 5/16" tall, keep the
unit off the bottom of the fountain. One-year warranty.
Grill design has more surface area than other submersible
heaters so it transfers its heat better and runs cooler.
Operates over a narrow heating range for increased efficiency.
Proper Care
The unit will not work well if covered in deposits or is
sitting in muck at the bottom of the fountain. We recommend
occasionally cleaning the fountain and the element. Use a soft
bristle brush to clean the element.
The element should be removed from the fountain in the spring
and placed in the fountain in the fall. We've found that this
can double the years a submersible heat element will last.
Follow these instructions for performing an air test on a submersible element:
- Unplug the unit and remove from fountain.
- Place unit into a freezer for 1 hour.
- Remove unit from freezer and plug-in - the element should get so hot you can't hold onto it. If not, it is not working any longer.
