Stealth 200w heater bubble?

[goldies88]

I notice my one month old stealth heater has bubble around bottom part of the heater. So what are they? And the bubble will release from time to time

Do you mean tiny bubbles that latch onto the plastic tube?

If so, they are completely normal and will go away in time... Warm water holds les oxygen, therefore as the water nearest the heater warms, it's ability to retain oxygen/air decreases causing the oxygen/air to form bubbles. Until the heater builds a "slim coat" the bubbles stick to the heater.


If you mean the plastic is bubbling...

This is a manfunction and you shuold contact the manucaturer to arrange an exchange (they have a lifetime warranttee).

I didn't know that stealths can fart. lol

in all seriousness, like nc nutcase said, if its air bubbles collecting on the tube. no problem.

if the plastic itself has bubbled up, replace the heater (preferably with an Ebo Jager )

Yeah, it is air bubble latch on the plastic tube. Not the tube itself. I should've make it clear. But why only latch at the bottom half of tube? Weird
