is this safe? (its related to saltwater)

so i went out to mix some water up.. forgot i left my bucket of RO in the garage... so the water is about 60* or so. my question is, is it safe to put a heater in the bucket to raise the temp? if yes to that one is it safe to put a broken heater in a bucket? haha back when i was having heater issues in my tank i replaced it and just kept this broken on for whatever reason. not physically broken, just wont turn itself off so the water heats up fast and stays on till i shut it off.

I don't think there is anything wrong with that as long as the water is the same temp when you stick it in the tank. You would have to keep a close eye on it so it didn't get too hot.

ok thanks thats what i thoght... i figure if i can get it to room temp i am all set. i am only doing a 2 gallon change tonight anyways. I also figure its easier to cool down then heat up lol

You could also add a stand alone thermostat.
