5. Safety Features

The AQQA Aquarium Heater incorporates advanced safety systems to protect your aquatic environment.

Overheating Protection:

If the water temperature rapidly exceeds 95°F (35°C), the LED screen on the controller will flash “EE” and the heater will automatically stop heating to prevent harm to your fish and equipment.

Dry-Run Protection:

If the aquarium heater is not fully submerged in water, the controller will display “Er” and automatically power off. This prevents the heater from operating dry, which could cause damage or fire hazards.

• Cleaning: Unplug the heater and allow it to cool completely in the water (15-30 minutes) before removing. Gently wipe the heater's surface with a soft cloth to remove algae or mineral deposits. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Inspection: Periodically check the heater and its power cord for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear. Ensure the suction cups are securely holding the heater in place.
