Is ICECAP honoring their warranties??

[rjbourge360]

Late last year I purchased (and registered the warranty) of a brand new 250 Watt IceCap Ballast. In April it failed.

I followed the instructions on the official IceCap website and sent it to the manufacturer for repair or replacement.

Its been 2 months now and now whenever I call any of their phone number listed on their website, I get an immediate busy signal. Is IceCap still in business or just now answering their service calls?

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

**Currently, I am rotating power input daily on my dual-halide fixture to help get light coverage on my tank.

No, as IceCap no longer exists, and hasn't for well over 6 months, maybe more. However, another company, CoralVue, is repairing IceCap issues. I'm unsure if they're honoring warranty issues, by doing the repairs free of charge, but suspect they may. Here's a quote, from Chris, at CoralVue, along with their contact information. Though I'm unsure if Chris will be able to help, with the issue of a ballast that's been shipped to IceCap, already. Wouldn't hurt to contact him though.

While this statement pertains to the IceCap 660 and 430, I suspect they'll also repair MH Ballasts.
