If the water level becomes too low will this heater shut off automatically? It's the right length for my tank but I'm afraid to use it.

The line that says min. water level is actually the max. water level. Do not completely submerge the heater.it can drop an inch or two below that line and should be OK. It will not shut off automatically

I'm not sure. I bought it for Winter use as its to hot where I live to need one right now. It is fully submersible so you could place it well below the water line.

No. You will need to keep an eye on the temperature of the water. It is better to buy a preset heater for the tank or use the timer.

This fountain does not automatically shut off if the water gets too low. But since it's for a pet, you should be checking the level frequently and keep the water fresh.

Stacie, I cannot say what the bottom shut-off is, but I can tell you that if I set it at #1 (and the thermostat functions a little below #1) the heater will shut of with the temperature in the low 60's. I have to bring it between 2 & 3 to get the area to the 68-70 degree range.

Yes. When the water tank is empty, the unit has an automatic shut off. I've never had any problems and leave the unit on 24/7 at the desired humidity level.

Mine has been submersed in my 55 gallon tank for almost a year. The water level comes just above the dial and onto the cord. I have not had any issues with it heating and my thermometer and heater settings are dead on. I would buy it again. 300 watt version for my 55.

You can run the heater on either "Hi" or "Low" and it will not shut off on those setting. If you choose to use one of the "Hi and a temp" or "Low and a temp" it will shut off when the heater reaches that temp, but will start up again just like your furnace. Hope that helps.

My heater started working immediately. I suggest not leaving it out of water for any length of time. It will get hot to the touch very quickly. Even though it has a constant on feature, there is a limit to how hot the tank can get which is a combination of the tank size and the ambient temperature of the room. I am using mine in a 1.77 "goldfish starter kit" (who are they kidding) with an added external light and this heater and my Betta is doing fine. He is a classroom Betta, and my room gets cold!

must be a pressure demand. I use mine on a 5 or 7gal tank and it works fine. I have noticed that it automatically cuts off after about 1/2 hour. I like that but didn't see anything stating that this is supposed to happen. I have been pleased with the heater.

I don't know what temp it stops the water, my tank is set at medium low. I turn on only the hot water and when the water gets hot it turns to trickle mode. There is nothing to adjust the temp

I have not had a problem wth the float. T tank and that valve is where I have had trouble. I will have the unit shut down with a full tank of water. Hope this helps.

It shuts off after the water level is too low. Just add more water to keep using, or dump leftover water if you won't be using for a few days.

Yes, it will shut off automatically when it runs out of water, even with power connected.

Yes, the Auto Shut off safety feature will stop the misting once the water level is low.

You will have to turn the volume of water down. Install a gate valve before the heater and turn it half closed. These are great little units but if the incoming temperature is low they don't have enough btu's to raise the temp that much. Hope this helps.

I fill mine to the water level or just a tad higher, i.e. like 1/4" or less. And it runs I would say between 6 to 7 hrs and then shuts down; after it shuts down it cools down to room temp...or cold. So mine does shut off by itself when the water runs low.

I believe the float should remain at bottom and is suppose to trigger machine off when water is too low....but my machine never shuts down when water out as indicated.
