Snowman Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Easy buy a new heater from Pet Planet/Onehunga Pet & Vet or similar store, about $25 for a 300watter brand new, i gave up buying second hand as they either dont work properly or if they do not for long......new = warranty I also gave up on new Aqua One stainless steel ones, had 2 die within a year and even though they are stainless they only have a 6mth warranty. Depending on how many you want you could try Diacks Nursery, i bought 20 a couple of years ago, 150 W, 200W and 300W mix and they were $10 each new.

Cheesejawa Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 jagera are expensive and not worth the money as apposed to buying a cheap aqua one which work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 well i got them in a package deal, so im not worrie that i bought them as such but just annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Throw it in the rubbish. Buying secondhand heaters are like playing with fire. Of all the heaters that i've used, Jager is the worst. They either don't work properly, don't work at all or cook my fish. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Jaeger are top quality and top price. There is a button on the top which you pull up. If it is second hand it may stick a little initially and need assistance with a knife or screw driver. Place it in water of a known temperature for about 10 minutes with the button up then turn the dial until the dial matches the water temperature and push the button properly down. It is now adjusted correctly and you can make finer adjustments as required. I have a number of them and have never had them fail yet. Best on the market in my view.

Bastables Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Eheim jager manuals can be downloaded from here: http://www.eheim.de/eheim/inhalte/index ... ist=heizer Also a youtube video showing the difference in glass quality : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemines Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 henward, as yours was second and it may have been one of the old jäger heaters before the company merged with eheim and problems were fixed. the new jäger heaters are fantastic and come with a three year guarantee, extremely shatterproof glass and if the water level falls below the element, the heater also will switch off for extra safety.
