It gets warm but only if the immersion heater is switched on. The warmer water will rise slowly and start circulating in the tank, so you end up with a tank full of hot water.

Inevitably there will be dust and dirt in the water supply and if these build above the level of the heater, it will probably overheat. The heater should be a few inches above the bottom of the tank.

Using the Right Immersion Heaters for the Job?

Immersion heaters are electric devices that heat water or other liquids when they are immersed in the liquid. They have several uses that range from domestic to industrial. You may recognize an immersion heater as the heater that you place in your fish tank to keep the water temperature regulated. Screw Plug Heaters Screw plug immersion heaters are short tubes placed in a hexagonal plug that is threaded. They are designed specifically to fit into holes that are built in the sides of tanks that hold water or pressurized gases. The screw plug heater creates an air-tight seal when it is screwed completely into the tank. A small gauge on the head of the heater will give you the readings as the temperature inside the tank changes. Even a small immersion heater can change the temperature of a large volume of water or gas when it is contained in a sealed tank. Screw plug immersion heaters are primarily used in industrial settings. Side Mounted Heaters If you need to heat a large volume of water or other liquid but you don’t have the luxury of penetrating the side of the container, side mounted immersion heaters may be the right choice. The heating element is a long tube that is extended from the end of a vertical bar. An attachment at the top of the vertical bar will allow you to hang the heater into the liquid from the side of the container. These immersion heaters are far more flexible than other types, and can be moved from tank to tank or removed for cleaning very easily. Flanged Heaters Flanged immersion heaters create a high level of heat very quickly. They consist of several heating elements bent into a tube shape and welded onto a flange. The flange is inserted into the side of the tank that holds the substance that needs to be heated. Flanged immersion heaters are ideal for creating steam, because they heat liquid substances to very high temperatures quickly enough to cause vaporization. You can buy flanged heaters with several different sizes of flanges to fit your particular application. Flanged heaters are used for several industrial purposes.
