EHEIM reeflex UV+e 500 UV-steriliser

EHEIM reeflexUV+e 500 UV-Steriliser

Ensure crystal-clear, healthy aquarium water and effectively combat harmful pathogens with the EHEIM reeflexUV+e 500 UV Steriliser. This intelligent UV clarifier utilizes EHEIM's patented reflector technology and convenient Wi-Fi control to provide superior sterilization performance for smaller to medium-sized freshwater and marine aquariums.1

Product Description:

The EHEIM reeflexUV+e 500 is a smart and highly efficient UV clarifier, designed to significantly improve water quality in aquariums from approximately 120 to 500 liters.2 This unit effectively reduces or eliminates suspended algae, harmful bacteria, fungi, viruses, other pathogens, and infectious stages of fish parasites, which can cause cloudy water and stress to aquatic life.3

What sets the reeflexUV+e 500 apart is its unique, patented internal high-gloss aluminum reflector.4 This innovative design directly guides the water past the UV-C burner with minimal power loss, resulting in up to 1.8 to 2 times more effective germicidal UV-C radiation compared to conventional UV sterilizers.5 With integrated WLAN connectivity, you gain the power to monitor and control the device remotely via your smartphone, tablet, or PC using the intuitive EHEIM Control App.6 This makes managing your aquarium's water parameters simpler and more precise. The reeflexUV+e 500 seamlessly integrates with your existing filter system, helping maintain a clear, safe, and healthy aquarium environment without affecting beneficial filter bacteria.

Key Features:
