With the EHEIM reeflexUV+e, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate germ contamination while also clearing turbidity from the water. Now featuring WiFi controls, the reeflexUV+e represents the advanced, WiFi-enabled evolution of the established EHEIM UV clarifier. The patented reflector technology remains unchanged, providing increased germicidal UV-C radiation. Unlike traditional UV clarifiers that require the water to flow around detours to reach the UV-C lamp, the EHEIM reeflexUV+e allows for a more direct water flow. This design leads to no power loss and enhances energy efficiency, making it twice as effective. The reeflexUV+e can integrate seamlessly with other products in the EHEIM Digital family and can be managed through WLAN-enabled devices such as smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. For instance, you can choose various modes, set timers and pauses, and even switch to booster mode during severe parasite outbreaks. It is recommended to use the reeflexUV+e alongside your filter to minimize small organisms (germs, algae spores, etc.) in your aquarium. Available in four models, they accommodate aquariums ranging from 300 to 2000 liters. As always, it comes with EHEIM’s “Made in Germany” assurance, guaranteeing top-notch manufacturing and material standards.
Benefits of the EHEIM reeflexUV+e
- Quickly and effectively reduces or eliminates harmful germs (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other pathogens), as well as infectious fish parasites and suspended algae in the water.
- Patented reflector technology: The innovative arrangement of the UV-C light source and the water flowing past it, paired with a unique reflector, delivers unmatched efficiency with minimal energy input.
- Almost no power loss, as the innovative design prevents water deflection.
- Outstanding results: Twice as effective as standard UV clarifiers.
- Ideal for breeding tanks, as it lowers the risk of infection.
- Preserves bound cleaning bacteria in the filter, capturing only floating germs.
- Safe and easy to handle and clean.
- AUTO-OFF: Automatic safety shut-off feature during lamp changes.
- Simple installation with the included bracket.
- Flexible installation with no set position or flow direction required.
- Compatible with other EHEIM Digital family products (e.g., synchronization with aquarium lighting).
- Controlled via WLAN-enabled devices (smartphones, tablets, notebooks, etc.).
- User-friendly operation.
- Three distinct modes: "constant", "daily cycle", "smart coupling".
- Customizable burn duration, timing, pauses, and more.
- Booster mode available for addressing acute parasite problems.
- Email notifications when lamp replacement is necessary.
- Made in Germany.

- Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Warning: UV-C radiation can be harmful to eyes and skin even at low levels. The lamp within this product is intended solely for disinfecting aquarium water.
Innovative technology for crystal-clear water and thriving fish
In a UV clarifier (also referred to as a UV sterilizer), aquarium water is passed in a thin layer past a UV-C lamp (burner). The UV-C rays penetrate the water, neutralizing germs, algae spores, and other minute organisms. While conventional methods only irradiate from one side, EHEIM optimizes this with a reflector that mirrors the radiation, allowing it to penetrate the water from multiple angles. This results in significantly enhanced efficiency with the reeflexUV+e, utilizing EHEIM's patented reflector technology.
Additionally, the EHEIM reeflexUV+e does not feature a complicated water conduction system. Water is not diverted but flows directly around the burner without any detours, ensuring no performance loss. The AUTO-OFF feature also provides maximum safety. Since UV-C radiation is detrimental to skin and eyes, the reeflexUV+e automatically turns off when the unit is opened.
The EHEIM reeflexUV+e can be integrated with other EHEIM Digital family products (such as lighting) and is managed through WLAN-enabled devices (smartphones, tablets, notebooks, etc.). Operation is straightforward and intuitive, with three different modes available: "constant", "daily cycle", and "smart coupling". The burning duration, timings, pauses, and other settings can be adjusted to your preference. There is also a booster mode available for tackling acute parasite outbreaks, and you will receive email alerts when it's time to change the lamp.
It's important to note that the bacterial concentration in aquariums tends to be higher compared to natural water bodies due to their smaller volume. It's crucial to lower this concentration to more natural levels, but the aquarium water cannot and should not be completely devoid of germs. The UV clarifier only captures freely floating germs in the water while preserving bound purification bacteria in the filter (biological filtration), as well as those in the substrate. Turbidity caused by bacteria or floating algae can be effectively eliminated through UV clarification, which also helps curb algae growth by killing spores. Generally, UV clarifiers promote healthier fish by lowering infection risks, making them especially recommended for breeding tanks, where dangerous pathogens may attach to eggs or infect young fish that lack sufficient defenses. UV clarification does not alter water parameters.
