Eheim ReeflexUV+e 500 UV aquarium clarifier

EHEIM ReeflexUV+e are smart UV clarifiers with WiFi control. Just like other ultra-violet steriliser/clarifiers, these are designed to reduce micro-organisms and eliminate cloudiness in aquarium water but are even more efficient and have additional operating modes.

Key features:

• Three different modes: ‘constant’, ‘daily cycle’, ‘smart coupling’
• Configurable burning duration, time, pauses, etc.
• Booster mode for combating acute parasite infestations.
• Notification by e-mail when the lamp replacement is due.

Key benefits:

• Quickly and effectively reduces unwanted and harmful bacteria and parasites,
• Eliminates cloudy water caused by suspended algae,
• Helps to create a clean and healthy aquarium.

Compared to natural waters, the number of germs in the aquarium is relatively high due to the smaller amount of water. This must be reduced and brought to a natural level. However, aquarium water cannot and should not be completely sterile.

Only germs that are floating freely in the water are captured by the UV filter. The bound cleansing bacteria in the biological filter, bacteria in the substrate etc. are spared. Cloudiness of the water caused by bacteria or floating algae can be removed very well by UV filtration. In principle, algae growth is also reduced since the spores are killed.

UV filters usually ensure healthier fish, as the risk of infection is reduced. A UV filter is particularly recommended for breeding tanks, because often dangerous pathogens settle on eggs or infect young fish that do not yet have enough disease resistance.

UV filtration does not generally cause any change in the water values.

The reeflexUV+e

• Quickly and effectively reduces or eliminates harmful germs (bacteria, fungi, viruses, other pathogens) and infectious swarms of fish parasites as well as suspended algae in the water.
• Patented reflector technology: The unique arrangement of the UV-C light source and the aquarium water flowing past it, in conjunction with a special reflector, ensures unparalleled efficiency with a low energy input.
• Almost no power loss, the water is not deflected with the clarifiers innovative design. Water takes the direct route and there is no loss of performance.
• Excellent results: twice as effective compared to conventional UV clarifiers.
• Ideal for breeding and rearing tanks, as it reduces the risk of infections.
• Beneficial nitrifying bacteria in the filter are preserved, as only floating germs are captured.
• Easy, safe maintenance and cleaning.
• Simple, safe maintenance and cleaning is provided with the AUTO-OFF automatic safety cut-off function when changing the lamp.

• Can be linked with other products in the EHEIM Digital family (e.g. synchronisation with the aquarium lighting).
• Controlled via WLAN-enabled devices (smartphone, tablet, notebook, etc.)
• Easy and insightful operation.
