I’m curious who’s actually making the BRS heaters. Of course, BRS isn’t a manufacturer so they struck a deal with someone to make a different version and call it their own. Much like store brand product at the grocery store is made by companies that have a currently existing product.

The question is...which brand/version did they copy? Or did they copy?

BRS is known to make a few things. I haven’t seen anybody else with their version RODI Canisters or Reactors. I haven’t seen anything else like Reef Chili either. However, I did see their oxo good grips sound damping mats in Target. :) Of course I knew they just swiped those to sell because they have a huge platform with noob reefers joining daily.

Well, it’s probably something like this. Here’s how your store brand works at the grocery store. Nabisco makes cookies and everyone loves them. Kroger comes up to them and says here’s our recipe (often just a clone of Nabisco’s cookie), make it and you get a cut of the profits. I’m sure BRS did the same thing as Kroger. I’m just wondering who is Nabisco in this example.

Nabisco is EcoTec Marine. :oops:
