EHEIM pHcontrol+e – the intelligent device for monitoring and adjusting the pH level in your aquarium
With the EHEIM pHcontrol+e, you can effortlessly check and optimize the pH level in your aquarium using a smartphone, tablet, or PC/MAC via a WiFi connection and your web browser. A pH sensor detects the current pH level of the water, and the pHcontrol+e automatically supplies the required CO2. By managing the magnetic valve linked to the CO2 system, it dispenses the appropriate amount of CO2 until the target pH level is attained.
To set this up, you need to connect your CO2 system, which includes a CO2 bottle with a pressure reducer and a magnetic valve (refer to the EHEIM CO2 sets) as well as a CO2 diffuser. The pHcontrol+e features a day/night control and can be integrated with the EHEIM LEDcontrol+e lighting system (check out the EHEIM DIGITAL family).
In addition to light, nitrogen, phosphates, and trace elements, your aquarium plants primarily require CO2 as a vital nutrient. The healthier they grow, the more oxygen they release, which is essential for your fish to breathe. Therefore, the EHEIM pHcontrol+e contributes to oxygen levels and maintains the optimal pH for your fish by regulating CO2. This usually falls between pH 6 and pH 8, with pH 7 representing a neutral reference point.
Note:
The foundation for measuring and stabilizing the pH level is the carbonate hardness ("KH") of the water. Consequently, the EHEIM pHcontrol+e (in Smart mode) first checks the KH value, as KH, CO2, and pH levels are interrelated.
