New external aquarium filter
Intelligent electronics ensure clean water in the aquarium
Deizisau, April 2020 – EHEIM has developed a new, intelligent aquarium filter that can be programmed and controlled wirelessly via smartphone, tablet or PC/MAC. The electronics monitor everything.
Aquatics is a fascinating hobby and, if you maintain your aquarium properly, you can enjoy a wonderful underwater world. This is only possible with good technology and the aquarium filter, invented by Gunther Eheim more than 60 years ago, plays one of the most important roles.
Over the years, aquarium filters have become increasingly sophisticated and technically complex. Now EHEIM has released an electronic external filter which offers everything an aquarium enthusiast could wish for. The professionel 5e, has an integrated WLAN function and can be individually programmed and controlled wirelessly – using a smartphone, tablet or PC/MAC. You do not need an extra app.
The electronics are designed to monitor all functions and keep the water flow constant. Faults are automatically corrected, air locks under the filter head are expelled and the degree of contamination is also subject to constant monitoring. The electronic flow regulation system ensures that the cleaning intervals for the biological filter material are significantly extended and, when the filter needs cleaning, a message is automatically sent to the e-mail address stored by the aquarium owner.
The functions of the new filter can be set to individual requirements. You can choose between constant flow, bio mode, pulse mode and manual mode. In constant mode, the electronics detect increasing contamination in the filter and automatically readjust to the set output. This guarantees permanently constant flow rates and long intervals between cleaning. In bio mode, two alternating flow rates (day/night) can be set and, in pulse mode, the electronics ensure a natural, alternating flow.
It is also possible to link the filter to other devices - e.g. a corresponding lighting control (EHEIM LEDcontrol+). When all programming is complete, the WLAN connection can be deactivated.
"EHEIM.digital is EHEIM’s new platform for intelligent devices. Customers can look forward to future-proof and innovative products. This is only the beginning" says Ibrahim Mefire Kouotou - managing director for EHEIM.
There are four professionel 5e models for aquariums from 180 to 700 litres, including a thermofilter (600T) with integrated heater. Three models are suitable for both freshwater and marine but the thermofilter is suitable for freshwater only.
