EHEIM reeflexUV 1500 UV-steriliser

EHEIM reeflexUV effectively reduces microorganisms in your aquarium water and eliminates turbidity more efficiently than ever. This product showcases EHEIM's innovative spirit: with a built-in reflector, the UV-C radiation that kills microorganisms is significantly enhanced. Unlike traditional UV sterilizers that direct water through indirect paths around the UV-C lamp, the EHEIM reeflexUV allows water to flow straight through, ensuring no loss of efficiency while requiring less energy. Its effectiveness is 1.8 times greater than conventional models. EHEIM reeflexUV is designed to be used alongside a filter to diminish small organisms (microorganisms, algae spores, etc.) in your aquarium. There are five models available, suitable for aquariums ranging from 80 to 2000 liters. For aquariums of approximately: 700 Liters For aquariums up to around: 1500 Liters Height: 500 mm Width: 115 mm Depth: 130 mm Power at 60 Hz min.: 18 Watt Maximum pressure at 50 Hz: 0.8 bar Frequency: 50 Hz Manufacturer's warranty: 3 Year(s) Freshwater: Yes Sea water: Yes **Advantages of EHEIM reeflexUV** - Rapidly and effectively reduces harmful bacteria and fish parasites in their infectious stages in the water. - reeflexUV 350 = Maximum flow capacity: 200 l/h - reeflexUV 500 = Maximum flow capacity: 400 l/h - reeflexUV 800 = Maximum flow capacity: 600 l/h - reeflexUV 1500 = Maximum flow capacity: 1000 l/h - reeflexUV 2000 = Maximum flow capacity: 1500 l/h Eliminates turbidity caused by algae or bacteria: - reeflexUV 350 = Maximum flow capacity: 400 l/h - reeflexUV 500 = Maximum flow capacity: 800 l/h - reeflexUV 800 = Maximum flow capacity: 1200 l/h - reeflexUV 1500 = Maximum flow capacity: 2000 l/h - reeflexUV 2000 = Maximum flow capacity: 3000 l/h The internally fitted high gloss aluminum reflects the UV-C light, ensuring more efficient sterilization. You’ll enjoy excellent results with low energy consumption—1.8 times more effective than standard UV sterilizers—without any performance loss, as the water flows directly around the burner. This makes it perfect for breeding tanks, as it lowers the risk of infection. Beneficial bacteria are safely retained in the filter, as only floating organisms are captured. **AUTO-OFF:** Automatic safety cut-off when changing the lamp. Easy to install with the included fixing bracket; variable installation with no specific position or flow direction. **Included accessories:** EHEIM UV-C lamp, fixing unit, ballast with power cable, 2x hose connection taps ø 12/16 mm, 2x hose connection taps ø 16/22 mm. **Special technology for clean water and healthy fish** In a UV sterilizer, aquarium water is channeled as a thin film past a UV-C lamp (burner). The UV-C radiation penetrates the water, effectively eliminating microorganisms, algae spores, and other minute organisms. Unlike traditional technology, which only irradiates one side, EHEIM’s built-in reflector allows the reflected radiation to penetrate the water from multiple angles, resulting in significantly enhanced performance. Moreover, the EHEIM reeflexUV has a straightforward water flow system. The water flows directly around the burner without detours, preventing any loss of effectiveness. The AUTO OFF feature also provides optimal safety, as UV-C radiation can be harmful to skin and eyes; the system shuts off immediately when the unit is opened. **What you should also know:** The bacterial count in an aquarium is relatively high due to the limited volume of water, making it beneficial to reduce this level without eliminating all bacteria entirely. The UV sterilizer captures only floating bacteria; established cleaning bacteria in the filter (as part of biological filtration) and those in the substrate remain unharmed. Turbidity caused by bacteria or floating algae is efficiently cleared away through UV sterilization, effectively curbing algae growth by killing off spores. UV sterilizers generally promote healthier fish by lowering the risk of infection. They are particularly recommended for breeding tanks, as harmful pathogens can latch onto eggs or infect young fish that lack adequate resistance. UV sterilization does not alter water quality parameters. The light source in this product is solely intended for disinfecting aquarium water.
