Marineland Stealth Recall
 

I know there have been issues with these heaters, and in case this has not been posted already, here is an official recall posted on BAs site.

Fire risk. It lists the model numbers so I am sure no matter where you bought it, if its on the list approach the dealer.

I have had two that failed on me :sad: Needless to say I will never buy a stealth heater ever again. The last one had black smoke coming out of it into my tank :evil:

I have one downstairs. Taking it out today. Might as well get the relaplacement. It goes in my reservoir of salt mix.

Petsmart will replace them.

Marineland will replace them or send a cheque for what they think they're worth, or depending on the store they may do store credit if you bought them locally.

Just watch what the give you for a replacement. They didn't want my Stealth back, just sent me a Visa-Therm 400W that crapped out in 1 week and caused RTN of a couple of corals. Going to take them both back.

With what?

I just picked the most expensive one with the same wattage. I think it's a fluval

I do not have a receipt.

Anyone think this is an issue?

Not here, I think if a shop carries the Marineland products it shouldn't be a problem. I replaced mine this AM at Petsmart, but all they had to offer was a Top Fin.... woooooo nice. In hindsight I should have had the manufacturer send me a refund.

sent mine back to the manufacturer a few weeks ago, waiting to hear back from them (hopefully with a cheque :biggrin:)

Spoke to the manager at Big Als and they will do the recall at the store. They were surpised that I still had the receipt after so long. I can exchange it for a new model or get a store credit for the value I paid.
