Won Titanium heater blowout, what now

[MrKrispy]

I had a Won Titanium heater that was only 1.5-2 yrs old die on me. Of course, like all things reefing, it died while I was on vacation. We had someone staying in our place and he noticed the breaker was off. He turned it back on and said the tank looked fine. When I got home 2 days later I noticed the tank temp was a little low. After some testing I figured out the heater was dead. Good thing I swore never to buy glass heaters again. However, now I am in the market for a new titanium heater, what is a reliable brand?

Man, seems like the Won heaters get most of the complaints. Why do you think a glass heater would have been worse? Do you think it would have exploded or just failed to turn on like the Won heater? Just curious.

I have a 200 watt Via Aqua for $15 if you want. 6 months old.

yeah I definitely stay away from glass, exploding heaters are waaaay too common.

Thanks for the heads up Shawn, I want to stick with a brand new one though.
