Nice! I didn't even think to ask about cash, didn't think it would work. Makes no difference to them really, since I'm sure Marineland is paying them back for all the heaters that get returned.Jer;4912415;4912415 said:
Stealth Pro Heater Recall!!!

Another option is to trade them in for Visi-Therm heaters.
I took in two Stealth-Pros to Petsmart and got $80.00 in credit but, like Jcardona says, everything is overpriced. I bought some frozen food and have a credit for the rest.
I didn't even think about the two old Stealth (not "pro") heaters I have, so today I called Marineland. More Petsmart credit didn't seem all that attrative, so I asked about trading them for Visi-Therm heaters. He is sending me the Visi-Therm heaters and return shipping labels for the old Stealths.
To me this is a better option than any of the heaters that PetSmart carries (which is what I really need).

If you got stuck with credit and you really want your cash but the store isn't budging. Buy something that's overpriced with the credit. Then return it the next day with the receipt. Bam, Cash return.
Just saying.

PS: I replaced my Pro's with an Aqua Via Titanium 300W. It occured to me that I had a 50 Watt of the same heater for the last 10 years and have been using it without issue. So why not try their higher Wattage heater. I set it to 78 and the 150, and the 47 are both reading at 78. And that's with the 500 GPH Mag drive, and FX5 running. As well as a Rena 400 pumping air into the tank.

I thought of that, but won't most places give it back to you in store credit?Mavrick813;4913257;4913257 said:
Glad I poked around in this section... I'll be taking mine back tomorrow. 
Too bad I already bought a bunch of jagers to replace them though.

I just took the credit. Considering I didn't even buy my heater at petsmart and olny paid 20 bucks shipped for it used. I think I made out with my 35.00 credit. I [lan on using to get a Fluval Edge.

I think thats a great idea. If i cant get cash back, i might get a Fluval Edge myself. I always thought it was cool little tank.
Forgot to ask, how much is the fluval edge running for at petsmart right now?
At work we just got this notice on Tuesday.
Stealth is not refunding used stealth heaters, only the unopened ones. They are leaving it to the stores to refund used stealth heaters.
Good thing we stopped carrying them a while ago!
