Product information

Most aquarium fish come from tropical waters and need water temperatures between 22 and 30 °C. In community aquariums with fish/invertebrates from different regions, a water temperature of 24-26 °C has shown to be effective. 30 °C is only suitable for some fish breeding (e.g. discus fish). Many shrimp species come from cooler waters and do not tolerate temperatures of 25-30°C.

The water temperature should be set with an "adjustable heater" which regulates the temperature automatically. For this purpose, there are rod-shaped heaters which are fixed in the aquarium (JBL ProTemp s) in various wattages and external heaters/in-line heaters which are integrated in the water-returning hose of an external filter (JBL ProTemp e) in two wattages. The advantage of external heaters is that it is one less product to be placed INSIDE the aquarium and the distribution of heat in the aquarium is more even. In addition, the digital display of the external heater always clearly shows the current water temperature. The outdoor heaters can of course also be operated with a separate water pump.

Undergravel heating is NOT used to set the water temperature. An undergravel heating cable ensures a better flow of water through the substrate of the aquarium, as the heated water at the heating cable rises and colder water flows into the areas between the heating cables. Thus nutrients are flushed to the plant roots and ensure optimal plant growth. Undergravel heating cables must always be supplemented by a "main heater" (JBL ProTemp s or e).

FAQ
What does the indication E-1 to E-8 on the display of my external heater mean?

As already described in the operating instructions, E stands for Error and indicates an error in the operation of the JBL PROTEMP external heater. Here you can see how each message can be easily solved.

E-1: Cause: Water temperature is at least 1 °C above the set temperature. Solution: Regulates itself when water temperature drops.
E-2: Cause: No water or air bubbles in the heater. Solution: Ensure that the heater is positioned as vertically as possible and that there is sufficient water flow.
E-3: Cause: Electronics defective. Solution: Can only be fixed by a specialist.
E-8: Cause: Temperature above 93°C. No water flow, or the inside is too soiled. Solution: Clean the inside of the heater with a hose brush (see chapter 8 Maintenance) and ensure sufficient water flow.

Does the alignment of the external heater matter during its installation?

Yes, because temperature measuring requires constant contact with the water. When installing, please pay attention to the flow direction marked by arrows on the heater housing. Attach the heater to the suspension loop provided for this purpose in a position as vertical as possible with the flow direction pointing upwards. This is the only way to ensure that the device is vented and that the temperature measuring functions properly.

What water pressure are the PROTEMP e in-line heaters designed for?

This device may only be used for heating aquariums in the private area. For this purpose, the in-line heater is connected to an external filter or a feed pump. These systems are unpressurised systems which only use the principle of circulation and do not build up any pressure, as the inlet and outlet also provide an additional drain and the impeller does not build up any water pressure when pumping. The use of accessories or parts not recommended by the manufacturer can lead to hazardous situations and a loss of warranty. Installations on pressure pumps or directly on water pipes are therefore not possible.

Where should you install the external heater?

First place the JBL PROTEMP e In-line heater on the outlet side of the external filter, before positioning the UV-C units, CO2 diffusers and other attachments. If this is not possible, you can still install the heater after the UV-C unit, but then only install diffusers behind it.

Gute Heizung außerhalb des Aquariums. Lässt sich mühelos an alle gängigen Aussenfilter montieren

Top!

Zeer blij met deze nieuwe verwarming. Gemakkelijk om te installeren op mijn Cristalprofi filter.

Er zijn aansluitingen voor diverse apparaten diameters van slangen voorzien (12/16-16/22-19/25mm).

Gewenste temperatuur kiezen en klaar!

Je ziet en voelt aan alles het Jbl kwaliteit is. Top!

Un chauffage externe fiable et solide !

Je l'utilise avec les robinets double raccord rapide sur un JBL CRISTAL PROFI e402 pour une cuve de 60 litres.

Je le trouve plus esthétique qu'un chauffage interne. Celui-ci est caché dans le meuble avec tout les accessoires techniques.

Parfait 👌

Eigentlich eine sehr sehr geile Sache,allerdings ist es schade das es keine vernünftige Halterung gibt ich möchte mir nicht extra einen Haken in den Schrank schrauben, um den Heizer an diesem Henkel aufzuhängen

Für mich die beste Lösung auf dem Markt. Wer einen Aussenfilter nutzt, sollte von diesem Heizer unbedingt gebrauch machen.

Die Heizung ist Klasse! Habe jetzt endlich keinen unschönen Heizstab mehr im Becken :)

Läuft ruhig und heizt das Wasser schnell aus. Nutze diesen in einem 60L Becken.

Achtet nur darauf die Heizung mit der Ösen aufzuhängen um den Schlauch zu entlasten und das die Heizung vertikal hängt.

TOP!!!

Ich weiß gar nicht so recht was ich sagen soll außer dass ich einfach nur Begeistert von diesem Produkt bin.

Super schnell eingebaut. Heizt schnell auf wenn man beim Wasserwechsel mal etwas kälteres Wasser einfüllt. Keine hässliche Technik mehr IM Becken und er hält die eingestellte Temperatur ohne wenn und aber! Und das bei diesem Preis.

I have the protemp 300 on my 160 liter aquascape and this is the best heather I ever had. Always accurate temperature and no Heather needed in the tank, because this is a Inline product, so you put in between the Inline hose and the water is on temperature in no time

Ein Heizer der schon lange bei mir in Betrieb ist, ich bin sehr zufrieden mit Ihm, sowohl was die Heizleistung, als auch die Genauigkeit angeht. Und vor allem nimmt er keinen Platz mehr im Aquarium weg. ✌🏻

Idealer Heizer für alle, die wenig Platz im Aquarium haben oder so wenig Technik wie möglich innerhalb des Aquariums / Aquascapes haben wollen (wegen der Optik).

Ich verwende seit ca. 2 Jahren den e300 Heizer in Kombination mit dem e902 Filter und Proflora Inline Diffusor an meinem 125l Becken und bin sehr begeistert.

-->Gebrauchsfertige Auslieferung. Es ist alles dabei (Heizer, Reinigungsbürste, versch. Anschlüsse für unterschiedliche Schlauchdurchmesser).

-->Genaue Temperanzeige (0.1°C - Schritte) + Temperatureinstellung (0.5°C - Schritte)

-->Seltene Reinigung notwendig

-->Nicht hörbar

-->Warnungen bei Temperaturabweichungen

-->Gute Ersatzteilversorgung

Viele Grüße

Perfect for aquascapers. I don’t like that ugly heater in the tank. With this inline heater that problem is fixed!

Ich liebe den Heizer. Allein die Größe ist bei begrenztem Platz im Unterschrank etwas hinderlich wenn weiteres Zubehör wie ein Inline CO2 Diffusor und Schnelltrennkupplungen verwendet werden.

Bögen oder 45° Adapter für die Anschlüsse und eine Click-Aufhängung zum anschrauben an den Schrank wären praktisch, oder aber eine leichtere Mini-Version mit 100W.

Eigentlich 5/5, aber Aufgrund der Größe nur 4/5 Sternen.

Sehr genauer Heizer mit Digitaldisplay. Lässt sich kinderleicht einstellen und heizt unauffällig im Unterschrank. Heizt nach dem Wasserwechsel innerhalb von Minuten auf die gewünschte Temperatur auf.

Für mich gibt es nie wieder einen anderen Heizer

Aquaklausi - German

Für mich die Perfekte Lösung um auch große Aquarien ohne bzw mit sowenig Technik wie möglich im Becken zu betreiben.

Ich habe den Pro Temp 300 bereits an 2 Aquarien verbaut und bin super zufrieden.

Die Möglichkeit verschiedene Schlauchdurchmesser anzuschließen macht den Heizer super flexibel.

Ich würde jedem Aquarianer oder Aquascaper eine ganz klare Empfehlung aussprechen.
