Aquarium heater, please help

[coco]

Hi everyone,

I have an aquarium heater but the box is lost, so I don't have any instruction on hands.

After a deep verification on the body of the heater I found some related info as below :

- 28°C
- 110V
- 25W
- 0.23A

and the following sign (or logo) that I draw with Paint

I only have very limited knowledge about this thing so please confirm if my heater is submersible (underwater use), and your instructions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of heater is it?
That symbol probably means don't submerse it more than 50 centimeters.
The other stuff is just the volts and watts and the 28 degrees celcius is probably the prefixed heat setting which is like 79 I think.

It's similar to this one, but not 100%.

The upper part of my heater is made with transparent plastic and I can see electrical components inside.

So according to you I can safely put the heater in the water ?

I would not submerse a heater unless you know if it's submersible or not. That one does not appear to be submersible to me.
