Does it works even at high level (meters)above the sea? I've read in the manual, this one keeps boiling and doesn't turn into "Keep warm" function.

It does keep boiling and I am at 6200 ft. You have to manually unplug it to stop the boil. It does keep it warm for an hour or so but not what you would originally purchase it for.

This unit is fantastic. The "Warm" Function is really is a simmering function. There are two lights on the side of the unit where it shows the water level. One is red which brings the water to boil and then it automatically turns on blue where the water simmers. If after the first use, and adding more water, you have time, you can simply activate the blue light by pushing down the leveler below the handle and it gradually brings the cold water to simmer. Enjoy :)

There were settings, Lo-Hi. If you set it to Lo it boiled more slowly than if you set it higher. I don't know what that translated out to in terms of degrees.

We are up at about 6300 ft above sea level, and even so I can get the output temp up to 120 degrees, but be aware the flow is limited to 3.5 gpm, so I'm now sorry I did not get the next size up, but it works fine!

I have used them with great success! very happy. I am not sure what you are asking about Temperature? it will work great in above 32 deg Farenheit = 0 celcius and I do not see any problem with it up to 50 Deg Celcius ( or 125 Fahrenheit) How hot or cold do you want to use it for? It works very reliable. I use it in $10'000 water features indoors.

Thanks for all the answers. I have discovered from the manufacturer that this heater will not operate at altitudes above 4500 feet. I'm at 6500 feet. I'm surprised that this fact isn't emphasized in the product description. Looking for another heater.

I'm at 11 to 14 feet above sea level and it reads 0 until you hook it up and turn on the water. My municipality delivers our water rated to 60#psi related by the meter and two different households had readings of 60 and 62. If you live in the mountains and have a water supply rated to let's say 80#s then it would read out 80#s on this gauge as all things are relative.

I'm not using at a high altitude but my guess is that you should be ok save for a slightly different boiling temperatures. The 'maintenance temperatures' you keep water at should not be affected by altitude given that I'm assuming they use a thermometer.

I will add to this that my unit (and I believe they are all supposed to), stops heating when the water temp goes over 120 degrees. This is a safety feature to prevent damage to the unit and scalding to the user. That means you have to be attentive if you are recycling water in your source bucket, as you can quickly get the temperature too hot and the safety shut off kicks in. When that happens, you have to wait a few minutes for the unit to reset, which can be a bit frustrating. This is really just part of learning how to use the AquaCube. It's not fool proof, but hey, it works!

It shuts off when the water is all boiled out. You can use any size of eggs however you may want to make a fine adjustment on the amount of water based on different egg sizes. I live over 6000 ft above sea level so had to make water adjustments for that also as water boils much quicker here. This does work better for me than some higher priced ones due to the altitude

I was not able to get it to heat a 20 gal or a 10 gal, so I have it in a 5 gal tank and it still doesn't heat to the level it states it will. I put it in a smaller tank with some fish that don't have to have the water temperature to be maintained at over 75, so it's working find in that situation. I suggest getting a submersible heater that allows you to adjust the heat to the temperature you want, that's what I now have in both of my larger tanks now and I was very disappointed when this one wouldn't/couldn't keep up with at least a 10 gal tank. Good Luck!

We have inground pool it works great we live in south Florida and I like warm water...I turn it on few hrs befor and done. I think the company has models for above ground too

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.

As long as a pot of water left on the stove, it doesn't have a warmer really but the water stays hot until it naturally cools down, never timed it. It heats so quickly it shouldn't be an issue

I can test boiling water with mine, but it only uses Fahrenheit mode. It doesn't seem to switch. Don't know. They seem to be very good units, but they don't last very long. You cannot get the unit wet (other than the stem). It will kill it

I've been running it in a 65 gal marine talk with a 10 gal refugium. I placed in the sump area of the refugium. It worked fine for me in a building that is climate controlled around 74-75 degrees. I found mine to be miscalibrated around 2.5 degrees, though, so you may want to consider an alternate thermometer if you have sensitive stock.

I have only used mine once but the water stayed warm. I'm not sure how hot it's suppose to be. The manual mine came with says it had the heat wave technology.
