Find a productProduct description
This external heater is for aquarium keepers who want to mount heating on the outside of the tank circuit rather than inside the water column. It replaces a standard potentiometer with an electronic programmer and display, which gives more precise control over the set temperature in aquariums of 500–1500 l.
Why it matters
- Electronic control: the potentiometer found in typical heaters is replaced by an electronic programmer with a display, which the manufacturer presents as the most failure-prone part removed from the design.
- Programming precision of 0.5°C within a working range of 20–35°C, so the set point can be adjusted in small steps.
- Hose compatibility: the heater fits 12/16, 16/22 and 20/24 mm (inner/outer) hoses, and the matching end caps are included in the box.
- Built-in cleaning brush: a brush supplied with the heater is intended for removing deposits from its interior.

What it works with
The heater is intended for aquariums in the 500–1500 l range and is installed on hoses of an external filtration or circulation system. Its 500 W output and 20–35°C range define the tank sizes and temperature targets it is suited to. Use the included end caps to match the heater to the hose diameter in your setup.
