Product information

Temperature control
There are two important factors which affect the water temperature in the aquarium: firstly the room temperature and secondly direct sunlight. If the room temperature in summer increases significantly, it is important to check the temperature in the aquarium regularly. It should be 24-26 °C. Temperatures above 30 °C are a problem and can cause substantial damage to fish and plants. Furthermore aquariums should never be exposed to direct sunlight. The higher the temperature, the less effectively the oxygen, which is vital for the animals, dissolves.

Easy to install
The bracket of the cooling fan is placed onto the aquarium rim (up to max. 2.4 cm thickness) and fixed with clamp screws.

Cools by evaporation
The JBL coolers for freshwater and marine aquariums cool between 2-4 °C with the help of cross-flow fans. Due to the air flow the warm water evaporates at the water surface and thus generates evaporative cooling. This is comparable to evaporation cooling a wet body part exposed to the wind.

Temperature control:
By expanding a JBL ProTemp Cooler with the JBL ProTemp CoolControl, the cooler can be switched on automatically if the set temperature at the CoolControl between 18 and 36 °C is exceeded. Once the temperature reduction has been reached or exceeded, the cooler switches off again.

Safety
The water cooler has a safety cover grid and is operated with a low voltage of 12 V.

Technical Data

FAQ
Can I operate two coolers with one ProTemp CoolControl?

The ProTemp CoolControl is connected between the power supply and the ProTemp Cooler. It is therefore not possible to connect two coolers to one controller. Each Cooler needs its own controller.

Can the new ProTemp CoolControl also regulate the old Cooler 100-300?

Yes, the new ProTemp CoolControl can also control the aquarium coolers of the previous Cooler 100-300 range.

The cooler does not cool down the aquarium

JBL ProTemp Coolers cool the water temperature by 2-4 °C in high ambient temperatures. To achieve this with this product, it’s important the maximum recommended aquarium volume is adhered to. Please note that the cooling effect only occurs when the cooler is in operation and that the system needs to have been running continuously for a few hours beforehand. The air flow needs to be directed across the entire width of the aquarium and be at a 45° angle to the water surface. If only a part of the water surface is ventilated or the angle is set to 90°, the desired effect will be lost or greatly reduced. The housing can be rotated 360°.

Does my CoolControl work with every aquarium aerator/cooler?

The JBL PROTEMP CoolControl was designed for use with the JBL PROTEMP Cooler, and they work together perfectly. Due to different voltages, flawless function cannot be guaranteed for use with appliances from other manufacturers. Even the connecting plug, which looks identical at first glance, may be a different strength. As a result, a cooler from a different manufacturer may cause unwanted switching, leading to noises in the relay.

Excellent, Worth every penny!

I have used this product within the summer and I have to say, that it managed to beat the heat! My tank's temperature was controlled in low levels 20-23 even though the rooms temperature was 30-32! You can check a review of this product on my instagram account " nemophilist_scaper "

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.
