I am considering purchasing an Aquarium and it will need a heater around 225 watts. I've heard (no pun intended) RFI is a known problem with Aquarium heaters. Are there any good or bad models I shoul

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's (arcing across) the contacts on a bi-metallic thermostat in the heater that makes the noise. 73, Ken Alexander VE3HLS _________________________

Hi Bob, I use to have 4 Hagen Tonic heaters and detected no RFI problems. They use solid state switching and unlike the old mechanical thermostat products of years gone by, don't arc which was the ca

Thanks. Perhaps I will purchase the heater first with a money back guarantee. Set it up in a bucket of water and listen for interference. I should know in a day or so if its noisy, if so, take it bac

You're asking the wrong question. Some of the right questions are, "what is the nature of the current source for the heating element, what is the waveshape, what is the spectra, and what is the enclo

Years (actually decades ago) ago when I had numerous tanks of exotic tropical fresh water fish, I used Superior tank heaters and never had a problem. Some of the cheap heaters generate noise when the

That's correct. On cheap heaters you can actually see the arc. The better heaters had a capacitor across the contacts and I never had a problem with those. (Superior brand). I think I might still hav

OTOH, if the heater's thermostat is a standard thermo-mechanical type, you probably don't need to know all that. I tracked down a noise source a few years ago that turned to be an older, heated dog d

Thanks for all the comments. This a summary. 1) they can be noisy 2) they can be quiet - possible quiet brands are Hagen Tonic, and Superior My plan is to confirm the PetSmart money back guarantee ha
