Old Hartz Heater

March 26, 2008 @ 11:19 am · Filed under AquaticLife

Well I called Hartz customer service and apparently they stopped manufacturing these about 4 years ago. No wonder I can’t find any data on it! I asked the lady I got it from and she said as long as the coil at the way bottom is covered it should be fine. It is definitely submersed that far (with an extra 3″) so I think my nervous self is going to try turning it on now…
Thanks everyone!
