Juwel Heaters And Replacements

[stormy78]

I have the Juwel heater that came with the tank. It sits inside the filter box in the back corner (its a Trugin 190 tank). Will other brands of heater fit into the brackets supplied by Juwel? Does anybody have any experience of replacing the heater? Thanks

Im pritty sure they would, ive still got mine and seems like a standard size just get yourself a replacement of the some wattage that the original had.

The Juwel heaters are actually quite a bit thinner than say a Visitherm - so the latter wouldn't fit. You'd more than likely have to buy a Juwel heater again specifically designed for the filter as most heaters have a wider top part - and again this is something that the compartment wouldn't allow room for.

If your internal heater broke, just buy any other heater with a heater guard and stick it next to the filter. That would work just as well.

Thanks guys, my LFS stocks Jewul so I may ask them if they can show me which heaters will fit ok in there. My current heater works but I dont have much faith in it as its set to 30 (for testing purposes) at the mo but the temp never goes above 27 and doesnt seem to drop if I lower it to say 24.
