Heater life question
I am using the electroless nickel kit and have already suffered a heater failure. It sat in the solution for probably a couple of weeks continuously with one session of plating which had about a three to four hour heat up and then an hour of plating. Now it doesn't work. Fortunately they're cheap, but do they need to come out of the solution when not being used to prolong their life? If they are life limited in the solution, what are some sources for the glass heaters? Need 120VAC, 300W minimum. Solution temperature is 195F. I already have a temperature controller so just need a heater. Thanks for the help.
