Default Won Pro Heat II - two junked within 3 months.



Ok, so I bought two of the 250W models for my 120g tank from Gold's. They said they were great, because of the titantium heat exchanger and the remote temperature probe, AND the remote thermostat. I won't name who sold them to me so enthusiastically *ahem* lol.

Then a month later I bought a 150W model because they were doing well at the time.

Well things went downhill from there. one of the 250's died shortly afterwards. It thought my tank was running at 280 degrees! so of course it wasn't kicking in. bought a stealth to replace it.

The 150 watt has been used for a quarantine, and for heating change water. Today I plug it in, and it's having touble with it's thermostat or it's sensor too.

I'd just stay away from these. So far the success rate with them for me has been 1/3, within 3 months of purchase. They're a pain to deal with their short cords, and bulky plugs, anyways. Just get a stealth; same price pretty much anyways.
