Oh man, I screamed twice during this video!!! Once, when you knocked the heater on the table and when you pulled the heater out of the water when it was on!!! Sicce is really quality!!! 😂🤣🤣🤣
You can't tap it in the water is the problem
You have to pull it out and scan it any time you want to change the temp which kind of defeats the purpose of contactless lol. But other than that is a real nice heater so far.
I just found this out myself. A little upset by that but so far, it’s alright.
Yeah, not so contacless as you need to make contact to pull it out to scan. They just start selling here and already my friend at the store told me from the first 3 they sold, 2 customer were mad at how useless it is to need to pull it out to scan every time, also complained about the temp being off.
I think sometimes trying to add technology seems great on paper but is useless.
None the less, great video review :-)😊
I wish I knew this before I bought it. *Completely pointless.*
This video is a nice advertisement for Sicce but Fluval for me is the way to go.
The non-contactless temp change actually makes this worse than less expensive basic heaters.
Finally a heater using modern technology. I am very excited for this. Sicce products are quality.
Agreed!
🎉🎉 GRAZIE
Yesssss i need heaters for all of my aquariums and was researching some great videos loved that u talked about the price
❤❤❤❤ lets go!
Great video, keep it up 💯👍
Thank you!
Waiting for the cichlid bro tour of polo reef tank
I can't wait for this to come out on the market. This seems very promising! The warranty and cost are game changers, too. Thanks for the upload!
Definitely, and anytime! 👊🏻👊🏻
Thank you! ❤
@@SICCEgroup You're welcome!
@@CichlidBrosHow many watts do the 2 lamps have?
It’s out ❤
5 year warranty on the heater is crazy. That alone sells me on it.
We thank you!
5 years because they know the majority of people won't keep them past the first week.
So to clarify after reading the instructions... In most cases you will need to remove the heater from the tank to adjust the temperature (what a pain). Quote from the manual below about this HUGE limitation.
You don’t have to physically tap it or remove. It works through glass
@@CichlidBros Please read the instructions "With some Smartphone models it will be possible to activate communication
through the glass of the tank, with others it will be necessary to remove the
heater from the tank in order to bring it closer to the Smartphone" meaning that if you have it in a sump, filter area, or the back of the aquarium like most people, then you will need to remove the heater for any adjustment... pretty inconvenient and a big negative for me.
@@NaturebyGus yeah with those very specific settings, the NFC won’t work. Still would have a more affordable heater than most, with a warranty. But if it’s not for you then don’t buy it pretty simple
@NaturebyGus I have a Samsung S23 Ultra and it took 20 minutes of trial and error for me to connect to the heater. There's virtually no margin for error with the NFC. My phone not only had to make physical contact with the heater, but I had to remove my phone case and slowly swipe down the front of the heater so it would pass over the EXACT spot to pick up the NFC. There's also visible moisture inside the heater within minutes of it being on and submerged. Not impressed so far
@@G0F15H At the end I decided to buy the heater and I made a full honest review (not sponsored) : ua-cam.com/video/a20cA4CQpMY/v-deo.html
This heater is great!! I brought it based off your review. I love the construction of the heater.
Love this new heater. I will be ordering some to replace old heaters!
Thanks Coach.
Just got mine today. I bought 2 of these babies today. Hooray for my Petco discount. Thank you Bros!
Love to hear it, enjoy!
Awesome. Length ? Have sump, custom Aquarium, will it fit in allocated space. Thanks.
The big 400W is 18.5 inches long. Each smaller W heater is slightly shorter, so depends on the size you go with
It’s shorty than other major heaters on the market.
Currently dealing with bad heaters from last winter. Excited that since took on heater failure so fiercely and I will be picking one of these up
Sorry to hear about the bad heaters. Been there!
How were you able to monitor and change the heat when you’re not home? Because my heater requires the tapping.
The heater sits under the top frame, so very hard to pull it off since suction cups are good. Not able to use tap function until heater is out of the water. The Fix is to have a Seachem Tidal HOB filter like I have and use the side attachment for the heater that you can easily pull the heater up out of the water.
This is a game changer. The only problem is i have 12 tanks and now i want this for all of them. Let the switch begin. Thanks brother
When you get those 12 make sure to tell us JAY sent you and we will send you some thank you gear.
Great video
LOVE IT!!🤙🏽♥️🇺🇸🇮🇹
Thanks Mel!
Game changer
💯
Looks good, thanks for making us aware Troy! ❤😊 🐠 👍
Any time!
Just ordered mine the other day looking forward to trying it out
Very nice, enjoy!
Cool!
*Taps heater 3 times on wooden table. Ten minutes later, "Unable to connect to app" DAMN IT!! 😅 Just kidding!! Awesome review! My luck, I'd get the heater, set it up, and break my phone. Lol.
Hahahahahaha well we don’t recommend playing drums with it chuck LOL
@@SICCEgroup if you did, you could sell them in pairs! 😄
Thank you for the great video!
Please include the problem with this heater in future videos that has to pull the heater out each time for reading or changing temperature! I personally prefer a Fluval electronic heater.
For water pump as you mentikned Sicce is great.
I don't know I'm a huge fluval E series guy and never had a problem and been running them for 15+ years. I'll have to wait to see what happens down the road 😁
We will be here.
Another great video. Hopefully this is the heater this hobby needs. I've tried so many and haven't ever been happy with the ones out there. No doubt the 5 year warranty say a lot about the company. Hopefully the app will eliminate the need for a temperature controller.
Tip, turn your heater horizontally, in the center , lower to the substrate, this way, it disperses the heat In The aquarium better, reducing wear on the heater, reduce electric bill as does not need to turn on as much, and you don’t need to unplug the heater when doing water changes .
This is how I do it in my sump!
It would be nice if they could make one with WiFi so you can change the temperature without having to tap the heater via NFC.
Power goes out and WiFi doesn’t connect then What? NFC was the best foot forward on a device that shouldn’t be touched as much.
Not too keen on the thought of pulling the heater out of the tank and holding my phone over the aquarium as I tap it. No thanks!
@caseyruegsegger282 and you don’t have to…
@@CichlidBrosIn the video you clearly said that you do
@@TheloniousBosch lol, did I say physically tough the heater? Just like Apple Pay, the tap is not actually touching
The NFC technology on aquarium heater, BIG mistake. i purchased the heater from Petco after watching a few videos Changing the temperature to 78F, it was easy. Places it in my aquarium, the temperature is 3.5F below the setting. I know NFC maximum distance is 4 cm. Based on the Sicce video, I place the heater sensor facing to the side of the aquarium about 4 cm away. It does not work. I have to take the heater from the tank to change the setting. Is it a contactless?????? I am returning this product, it is bad design and so inconvenience..
Preach brother. These misleading revie- uh I mean advertisements act like this heater is the second coming. When in reality its just as inefficient and 100x more annoying to use than any other below average heater.
I wish there was an on light that stays on constantly but other than that it’s awesome
Once been in the hobby since 1980 and contacts are one of the biggest weeknesses of heaters. They end up staying open or, more likely, corrode closed. It is about time we had this. Though I may need an aquarium only phone since NFC is the easiest door for hackers to use.
When Your water temperature Is 82The heater Is set for 77How come how come it's stays on
QUESTION, if you placed it towards the bottom horizontally would you have to remove the heater out of the water each time connect to it or does it reach through
It works from about 1-2 inches away, so you’d probably have to remove it
Are you able to change temperature if away and not able to scan the heater?
hmm like the idea but you have to tap it ,,,,,not sure thats great the aquasky lights are scannable but might get one have a look thank for the heads up
Thanks for the video call Mom kind of stuck in the past had no idea what NFC was lol. I'm running in a 200 watt in a 5 cubic foot chest freezer for my bait.
Is this a heater something I can put on a timer? Over the span of 5 hours my tank warmed up from below freezing up to 50°. Problem is I don't want any warmer than 40 degrees.... ideal temperatures between 32 and 40. Will I have to rescan it every time?
Troy,
This is crazy. It is always so hard with a dial to put an exact temp setting it's frustrating. I love the Tidal Filters have 2 on each tank. Those are the best HOBs you can get and they are affordable. How much are these heaters? You never actually said a price at least I didn't hear it? I think these may be my new heaters? Do they make some for the smaller nano tanks or just the bigger ones?
Appreciate this. I love technology...
Thanks Jeremey we are pushing the needle and offering value with quality
Omg! Heaters are the stupidest part of this hobby. We spend thousand la on tanks and let a $40 antiquated heater nuke everything. I have always made it my practice to change my heaters yearly. Jay Wilson and the Sicce folks just mind change my mind!!!
If you spend money on good heaters and good thermostats then you generally don’t nuke a tank.. who in their right minds spends thousands on a tank and spends peanuts on a lousy heater.. that’s the equivalent of going to a Taylor to buy a suit but going to a dollar shop for sneakers you look a muppet. Years ago you only had glass thermos flasks that you had to handle with great care, this is the same for ANY GLASS HEATER now you can go into any big supermarket and buy a metal thermos flask and guess what, you can literally use it as a weapon and it doesn’t break, this is just like a titanium heater they don’t break.
We’ve had the most expensive heaters still fail. As mentioned in the video, the scuba has been tested against heavy resistance and impact without breaking
@@CichlidBrosI fully stand by my comments on this video….
Cool, don’t buy the heater then lol 🤷🏻♂️
Just get two cheap heaters rated 50% of aquarium size. That way if one fails, it'll not nuke your tank. You'll have plenty of time to remedy the issue when one does fail. Changing yearly is a waste, imo. I used cheap and expensive glass heaters for decades. All do their job but I use 2 underrated heaters for big tanks in case one does fail.
witch model should I use for my 40 breeder when this product does comes out
I’d do the 150W or 200W
200watt
It's contactless, so will I have to still put my hand in the tank to tap my phone to change temperature?
No, it works through glass and doesn’t require a physical tap
Yea my next upgrade😅 sweet pricing on those
Right on
But does it come in black!!! I’ve been using Hygger heaters for a while now and love that they are black and gets hidden in the tank, also I love being able to use the control in the cabinet to adjust the temperature without touching the heater. This however goes another step forward with just using your phone 🤯 I like the idea and the technology behind being able to monitor my bigger tanks when I’m not home temp wise, especially my discus tank. If you’re still loving it in a few months I’ll give them a try.
When you start adding colors you change price. We manufacture these in Italy not mass production in other countries. We hope you enjoy the Scuba when it’s available 3rd week of October or you can pre order from some stores offering that.
@@SICCEgroupIf Troy gives it the nod of approval in a few months I’ll give them a try, I’ve been burned to many times by Colbalt and their Titanium heaters….looks promising though and I’m hopeful for a Black Version 🙏🏻😝
i have 2 and one is on but why doesn’t the other one turn on its already plugged in or im i missing something
What happens when heater is in aquarium? How close do you have to get with your phone to change temp?
A few inches away
@CichlidBros definitely interested in ordering.
Hi can I use this with an inkbird controller please ?
Yep!
Do you have to take it out the water to set a new temp ? Or can it be done in the tank please
Had a question I thought you had to have it plugged into to connect via nfc should of read the manual I know so it ran a few seconds while I was connecting it to NFC is the heater bad now ? Should I just order new ones then :/
Are you using only one?
Can I add 3 heaters does it have separate things n the app for each one ??
Yeah I believe it would be 3 separate devices on the app. Could put the same temp for each though and it should be even
@CichlidBros awesome ty so much yea I forgot to ask Jason when we talked lol but ty yea I got 3 pre orderd
Awesome, enjoy!
Would you feel safe using one heater for a 125 gallon though? Thanks for your channel!!
I personally don't trust it I run 2 and a controller just to be sure they fail somewhat often in my experience compared to other equipment
The 400W would likely be good for a 125. Or you could do two 200W
I love that you put it in the corner. I'm fairly new at this and I had the impression that I had to place the heater in the center of the tank to evenly heat the water..
The one of the left I do have it towards the top of the water inbetween the intake of the whale 500 and tidal 110 just don’t like having it that close to the top of the tank cause with evaporation don’t want it to run dry if it goes below the water line . Any advice on that ?
Fun fact. I almost returned mines pissed off. You have to shift the heater with the 2 silver looking bars sideways so when you put the phone close to it to can detect it. From factory they make it face looking forward so if you mount it you not going to phone your phone in the water to make it scan. Easy fix yet from factory they don’t do it strange
Hello, one heater for your aquarium? greets from Belgium
Would you recommend a sicce canister filter over a fx6? Which sicce canister filter do you guys use?
It depends. The FX6 is great and more GPH but it’s also double the price of the biggest Whale. We’d lean towards two Whales over one fx6 for redundancy
We will chime in. 2 completely different styles of canisters. Redundancy is a good thing and the FX6 has its place.
Had a question will you still be using an ink bird as back up or do they have there own safeguard from it sticking ?
I’ll probably still use ink birds just as a triple back up, even though I trust this heater
@@CichlidBros how long is the cable again I have my InkBird on my other side of the tank where I want to put this one since going with the 400
@@leo2o915 7.3 ft long, a definite pro for the heater
Hmm I can't seem to get mine to work
So if you can adjust check the temp while away from the house why do you need to pull the thing out of the tank to set the temp?
Work with a heater controller ?
Yep. I’m going to use one with it
What’s the price?
To start I love other Sicce products I have Syncra pumps, Shark Pros, an Ultra zero and they are all great
I am currently working with Sicce support for the Scuba heater
I dont mind the NFC tech I plan to set it once anyway. I use my heaters with an Inkbird and just set them higher than the Inkbird ie failsafe.
I have purchased 4 300 watt versions of this heater. I have 2 in my 200g tank that has no fish yet. After 24 hours the tank went from 70 to 72 degrees. 70 is room temp.
My plan was to run 4 300s for 1200watts the limit of a Inkbird. This tank is either Peacocks or Discus I havent decided yet.
I watched the heater and it cycles on for a minute then off for a minute. Not sure why ?
No way I am I getting 600 watts. My other tank is 110g and has 2 200w Ehiem Jagers + inkbird it holds 78 no problem. ( its even open top )
The UI for energy saver mode is not clear a bad design. Pretty sure I have that off. ( on a side note energy saver is a sales gimmick. Basic thermodynamics )
I just want it to heat like a Jager So I think there is a design flaw or I have 2 bad heaters. I saw another post where someone else has this same exact cycling issue.
We will see how this works out, but currently I am very unimpressed.
I just got a response from Sicce. Scuba heaters only run half the time at most. This is NORMAL operation. So all the watt numbers posted for these are double their real output.
This is a really bad design. They have a UI we should should at a minimum be able to turn off half power mode. They can call it wimpy mode on and off
And yes I am a bit upset that I wasted $200 on these heaters. Straight to the trash. Unless I get a full refund this will the last Sicce product I ever buy!
All good until I saw you have to pull the heater out and tap it with the phone to change the temperature. Not exactly contactless that way. I guess you wouldn't have to change the temperature too often though unless you have an ich outbreak. Price point it good and i like the app feature.
You can calibrate so you don’t have too. You shouldn’t have ich a million times because you should QT. However less touchy less issues
Why does the Red light stay on After reading The temperature
If the red light is on, it’s actively heating
ok so whats the price?
amzn.to/3GfGpqe
Mines won't go pass 35c what do I do
Why would you ever go that high?
I couldn't get my heater to scan
Bought that heater and immediately bring it back to the shop,
Nfc it's just crap, expecially if you use this Heather horizontally you need to bring it all time out of the water if you wish to change temperature or either submerge your smartphone..... Indeed really smart... For that price they foul provide it witha thrue wifi technology imho and let you check the temperature anywhere even when you are not at home for holydais for istance, this Nfc it's totally useless
😍
The burning question is, how is it supposed to be pronounced? See-shay, or like you say see-chay? Lemme know thanks .
See-Chay
Would you put this glass heater in with your Oscars?
Yep it’s what I did
Your phone battery needs to be charged 😀. But those heater did not fail 🤔
I got one yesterday , but my phone cant pick up the signal. My phone is a Zfold 4 Samsung. anybody has any problems with Samsung phones ? dont know if I'm going to keep it. Help !!
What is point of having “SMART HEATER” if it won’t read the current temperature …OR… Send you a notification if temperature is low?
It will literally do both things…
@@CichlidBros setting it initially was easy, but since when you tap the device it open the window to read actual tempuature (or something similar like that) and you tap & has never once given me the actual trmpuature. If it wasn’t for the INKBIRD’s alarm going off when it hits 68 (way low for salt) and couldn’t figure out why until I put it in a bucket. The light turns red like it’s heating (sometimes) but other times it will just turn on the light & do nothing. And as far as taking an actual tempuature from the app it has never shown it since once no matter how long you hold it still (but the picture shows you should be moving ironically). And no matter how many I’ve time I’ve tried the query of take temp just times out & cancels itself after about 120 seconds…
Is there a trick that isn’t in the instructions (as it does not show it in any of the tutorials) to actually checking it’s current tempuature?
"Contactless " is useless. You can't control the heater from the phone without being right next to your tank. I'm kinda disappointed in sicce for once with this. I figured being Contactless you'd be able to control the temperature from where ever. Now if somthing goes wrong it can't just be fixed by whoever I'd have to travel all the way home from where ever to change it with my phone. When it could just have a know that turns. It's new tech but rather inconvenient
Regardless if you don’t use the contactless feature, it’s still a better watt-per dollar option with a warranty, which you can’t say about any other heater
77 degrees is at the bottom of the comfort zone 80 degrees is the ideal temperature for tropical fish. (84 for discus) When is low as you should go is 76 why would you be at 77 to me that's like sleeping with a thin blanket in the winter time you never quite warm enough. LOL just saying I always try to keep all my tanks at 80 degrees. Except for my axolotl - high fin banded shark and giant danios I keep them at 65° colder water animals. And I'm just curious why 77 that's all I'm not trying to pick at you LOL.
I don’t totally agree with that blanket statement. A few Central American cichlids like low 80s but the majority of African or SA cichlids do best in 75-78 range. Over heating a tank can lead to expedited growth but also shorter lifespans and increase aggression at time. I keep discus at 82 with no issues.
I am sorry, but this heater makes no sense it’s better if it was Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Every time you need to change the heater settings, you have to take it out and then tap it.
Why do you need to change temperature? I set it and forget it anyway. And even if you don’t use the NFC feature, it’s cheaper than other heaters and has a warranty 🤷🏻♂️
@@CichlidBros why aren’t people reading your replies I can’t count the amount times you’ve said you don’t need to remove the heater to adjust 🤷♂️
If you have to tap it WITH A PHONE to change the temp, how on EARTH is this an improvement?
Lol okay bud. If it’s not for you then don’t buy it 🤷🏻♂️
@@CichlidBros Lol ok bud.
Horrible product inconsistent tried to reach support and of course they told me to send email tank held steady at 78 degrees after crazy calibrations come home today from work and tanks at 75 degrees with the heater light not even turning on garbage heater and company no support smh
Sounds like user error to me 🤷🏻♂️
Wish it was man followed instructions calibrated it accordingly got home one day after a week of having it and see that I’m running 3 degrees cooler 75 degrees why in the world would my water drop so low
@@Poseidonsreef You are correct horrible concept and connectivity. I have tried this over and over and it isn't user error. the issues are the following- You must lift the heater out of the water to have it connect not the advertisement of just holding your phone on the glass- if you have a case like otter box good luck getting it connected- you can not read your aquarium temp live....so really its a useless product that has no benefits over the dial heaters like EBO or others. To bad because I was all hyped up about this so called game changer.
Even without the NFC tech - it’s still a game changer being the only heater with a warranty and made by a reliable company 🤷🏻♂️ … I’ll make an update video showing the NFC thru the glass or above the waterline - both of which work for me. Why are you changing temp that much anyway?
@@CichlidBros Not changing the temp, just trying to simply use it as advertised, unfortunately after using 2 different iPhone models Im quite disappointed . It can't even monitor the temperature live to see if everything is okay...then it would be a so so game changer. looking forward to your updated video.
Ugh, i really wanted to like it, totally disappointed, i purchased one yesterday for my 125 gallon. The heater tube only has one position. Where you tap with the phone, is located in the front of the unit, so if you want to modify, check current temperature, or even modify the setting you will need to pull it out of the water every time, very annoy, it will not go through the glass! i tried as well of course "detaching it" to face the tap sensor again located in the front, if you wondering what is the current temperature of your fish tank, you will have to pull it out, so where is the contactless? it might go through the glass for smaller thanks probably less thicker but you can not rotate the tube to face the glass! i tried so many ways that i get frustrated, i will return it. Same as in the video you will end up pulling it up of the tank every single time for any modification or if you are wondering the current temperature.
You can scan thru the glass or the top of the water if it’s positioned correctly. I’ll make a video showing it, although ive seen demonstrated in a video from KGTropicals already. I’d also ask - why are you needing to change the temperature so often? I set the temp one time and forget it. Lastly, even if you don’t use the contactless part, the pricepoint is better than almost all heaters and it has a 5yr warranty, which zero heaters have
@@CichlidBros Hello, it is not to change after it is set, is more to check to make sure it is working property, i do check temperature twice a day, i do have a back up lower watts heater in a lower temp set up as "backup" just in case, my 125 gallon has a big tall wood canopy with access in the front, moving the heater over there is not an option cosmetically horrible location, in order to check the temperature in my case, i need to get my step stool and sneak my arm through the front of the tank to reach the back just very inconvenient to be tapping all the time "after being connected to the heater" i am sure this will be improved as any new stuff in the market and costumers complains, just to be able to rotate the heater for a better access to the sensor, or adding a build in digital display just to show current temperature idk. i did tried through the glass with the heater detached, holding it, to be able to face my phone just to see if that will work and think about something to fix it myself but i was front to front the only thing that was in between was the thick of the glass and nothing. Again, i was very exited when i purchased, like a little kid with a new toy, it did not worked for me. I thought this "contactless" will be convenient for my setup, faster to have a different one with a temp set and current temp display attacked to the side of your tank, that will be contactless as well, set it up one time then you just look at the display for current temperature, no tapping or pulling unit out of the water, this is just my personal experience.
oh, if you are on vacation, at work or just laying in your couch enjoying and contemplating your fish and wondering what is the temp of the tank, no way to check your aquarium if you are not going to be able to tap it with your phone, as it is required every single time, be aware.
No one mentions you got to tap each time you want to set the temperature. taking the heater out or reaching behind the tank for some people with clearance issue of multiple tanks side by side or a single tank close to the wall or furniture. The blue color won't be easy to hide an external heater controller is better or at least with Bluetooth to make it really contactless.
You don’t have to physically touch it. The NFC tech works from a few inches away and thru glass
The question is why are you changing temp so much? Also you do not have to pull it out of the water. There are many ways to CONNECT.
Heater great but the app sucks
Absolutely pointless thing to an already easy process set any heater temp done, only problem with any heater is reliability
Which is why the 5 year warranty is key. And it’s way more affordable than other heaters. But don’t buy it if you don’t like it 🤷🏻♂️
Really warranty is great agree but not cheap and own one but definitely not a game changer blooming pain keep scanning to make any changes, different strokes for different folks
How many times do you need to change setting temp
@@PeterKnopp-h8n
You don’t but it’s not a game changer heater all hype from sicce backed youtubers anyway better things to do than argue over this
It's OK but you still have to get into the tank and take it out. Kinda useless. Bc it doesn't work though the glass.
Do you really need to remove it from water to adjust the temp? That’s a horrible flaw to me… does it have overheating protection?
I love the idea but not being able to modify it without removing it from water is bad.
No you don’t. It can work through glass
@@CichlidBros ok great, in the video you kept removing it and tapping it so it concerned me haha
About contactless is not 100% closer to be true don’t buy this product if you think you are going to be able to check your aquarium temperature and change it without touching oh moving your heater you have to be moving the heater anytime you want to change the temperature because you have to tap your phone in way too do anything and I don’t know everyone else but im not going to put my phone inder water to be able to change temperature without touching the contactless heater jaja really nice idea but they should put the tap facing out the glass but nnot they did it facing to the water so you have to touch the contactless heater jaja
But, no long term testing...... just because it's fancy does Not mean its "Good"
I literally explained this in the video
We have been testing them for 2 years. Jay Wilson and the team have been testing them for 1.5 years. We had to pass strict GLOBAL certification. Remember we are a global company. We are manufacturing these ourselves we haven’t outsourced. So we control the quality and we provide the 5 year warranty. We have also been making heaters since 1974 with 5+ patents on how heaters work. Thank you for watching this video though. Supporting creators like Cichlid bros makes us happy!
So you gotta tpuch your phone to a wet heater to chamge temps.
Poor deaign, its tech over usability.
More tech more to go wrong.
No it’s not a physical touch…
The heater is not contactless! Because every time you change a setting or a temperature, you have to pull the heater out of the water and tap it. That's false advertisement.
No you don’t have to physically touch it. You can do it through the glass and you can do it just above the water line. You also shouldn’t be changing your temp so often.
Contactless is what the technology is called it’s the right name for the right technology.
Plus it features a 5 year warranty, a price to make you 😮 and it’s made in Italy. ❤
@@SICCEgroupwhat kind of phone has a better nfc than iPhone because I can’t get it work through the glass on a measly 10 gal 😢
Perfect advertising for me. I don’t need to change my temperature every five minutes. My fish don’t get sick, so I don’t have to gradually raise the temp to combat some random fish sickness.
According to Amazon customer reviews these heaters and not that good. Disappointed in your review and recommendation based on Amazon rating.
Based on Amazon ratings? I stand by what I said in this video. The heaters run all my tanks now.
Contactless..... You just need to pull the heater out and tap your phone to it. 😑
Not a physical tap…
No need to pull it out. Some phones works through glass and also all nfc phones depending on heater position. Simply raise the heater to the water and bada ding 😉
Or heck put your phone in water (we are not responsible for your phone) 😂
Ehiem new wireless heaters are another alternative with no tapping etc required.
@@Bigofft while not having the 5 year warranty... I've also had multiple Eheim heaters fail in the past
It would be nice to see a review ? As opposed to a sales pitch.
Do you have to actually touch it with your phone- or does it work through the glass of the aquarium?
Does it tell you the actual temp in the tank? - doesn't look like it does ? - but that's not addressed either.
Advertising their patents- who cares??
Contactless - that you have to contact????
No you don’t have the physically touch it. Not paid to say anything - just excited about a heater that actually has a warranty. Isn’t a review going over features of a new product?? I even said in the video that I can’t prove it’s longevity as it literally launches next week
SO it's contactless and yet you have to tap it with your phone? I feel like using a dial is way easier an quicker as you should be setting the temperature and leaving it... Also the placement of those suction caps is horrible, big fish will easily knock it and move it around.
I didn’t physically touch the heater... maybe watch the video? It can even work through glass. Weird to also comment on the suction cups which are the exact same as Eheim, Fluval, etc
Using a dial is not so much quicker. Hands get wet and you may containment the water. The other thing is it isn’t precise. With this tech we can calibrate and be way more precise and on top of it offer energy saving mode with a 5 year warranty for under $60.
@@SICCEgroup if you say so...
So you have to still tap the heater to change the temp? Doesn't that mean you still have to grab it and pull it out of the water to change the temp?
I'm a fan of what you guys are doing with this channel, but this comes across as an advertisement that is scripted by the manu. You repeat very specific lines, don't list the price and gloss over some items that look like they could actually challenge the idea of 'contactless' or being able to monitor from a distance.
This isn’t an advertisement, it’s what I believe and wasn’t scripted at all. We do a ton of product reviews to show what we use or are excited about. If you don’t like seeing those, then skip the videos. You don’t have to physically touch the heater, it works from a few inches away and doesn’t have to come out of the water.
@@normallife9363 400w heater 5 year warranty = $59.99 on the U.S. price goes down as the wattage goes down. Preset heater at 300 watts is $39.99 US. price goes down from there.
Yes you have to confirm with the heater you are making the precise change. Or just set it and calibrate it and leave it alone 😉
You can also monitor you temp from the app with SDC products and the ContrAll app. Or if you have an aquarium monitor prob you can calibrate it to that and receive notification from that controller of your have one.
