Inaccurate temperature and constant outgassing

I liked this filter at first, but over time it didn't get that good. It's easy to clean and quiet. Priming is a little annoying as the pump tends to stick, but it's no big deal. What's frustrating is that it's been making a sound of exhaust fumes every few minutes lately. I took it apart and cleaned everything thoroughly which helped for a few days and then it was back. Not the end of the world because it's not that loud, but I'm wondering if something more serious is going on. The biggest disappointment was the heating. I prefer this filter to others because of the built-in heater, but the temperature is not constant. I have a regular and a digital thermometer in my aquarium and the temperature on both matches is the same but doesn't match the filter setting. I have 78 to 80 degrees and according to the thermometers 74-75. As a result, I bought a second heater for the tank until I figured out what to do.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Good, but not great
