Heater condensation?

[Alkane]

Just noticed that two of my Hydor Theo heaters have small amounts of condensation in them.

They are both about a year old. I haven't experienced any shocks or malfunctions. They both work better than other heaters I have(had).

Can I keep using them?

I think you will be fine just keep close tabs on temp

Someone correct me if wrong

They start at that then they fill up with water then they Don't work any longer. I just had to replace a heater the temp dropped 10 degrees when I found it. Watch it close.

Just go ahead and buy one so you'll have it on hand, because its gonna fail soon. Just don't wanna be caught with ur pants down on a cold night.

Thanks!

I'm just using it as back-up in my main tank and to heat up water for PWC's. I'm more worried about it zapping my fish and possibly me.

I'll leave it in there for now and if it dies or fills up with water I'll trash it.
