they look nice, but I'm trying to figure out why I would actually need them. My heaters are at the bottom of my sump - nothing touches them save water. When I clean my sump, I turn them off and carefully remove them. Heater holders would look nice, but other than that I can't see much of a benefit. Am I missing anything?

I don't have a sump anymore. AIO with a heater that gets knocked around when moving/ cleaning in that tight space, I also need a new dosing line holder, so why not?

Love mine! Flow in the sump is around the heater and into the next baffle.

Just got the double stack and now concerned about titanium around the magnets... I see you are using a titanium heater.. Any issues or concerns?

None at all.

Did you screw these into your baffle?

Actually it's a drill-through because I have one heater on one side of the baffle and a second on the other side....both held by conduit clamps. You can see all four clamps during the building of the sump:
