QUOTE(mountain @ Mon 03 May 2004 08:46 PM) I believe most people had already switch over to submerged pumps for IOS tanks/OHFs. There are cooler as they stay submerged in water, and any electrical leak can be detected by performing the 2 finger test The problem with submerged filter is it can pose another kind of hazard. If it is of poor build quality it could leak electricity. HappyBuddha unfortunately own one made by Atman, a well recognized chinese brand name! So I guess to play it safe, we should spend more and buy quality products made by an international brand in countries where consumer takes the manufacturer to court over trivia matters. Whether it's submerged or external doesn't really matter. QUOTE(white horse T1 @ Mon 03 May 2004 10:07 PM) in the first place, he should have checked what he is buying and whether it has been tested and passed the board.... I remember in the previous incident where a pump burned down a flat, it was made quite clear such equipments do not need approval from the authority. It's up to you to decide if you trust the brand. |
