The EHEIM reeflexUV+e helps you significantly reduce or completely eliminate germ contamination and clear up cloudy water. Now enhanced with WiFi control. The reeflexUV+e represents the WiFi-enabled evolution of the established EHEIM UV clarifier. The patented reflector technology, which boosts the effectiveness of germicidal UV-C radiation, remains unchanged. Unlike traditional UV clarifiers, where water flows past the UV-C lamp through indirect routes, the EHEIM reeflexUV+e allows for a more direct flow, leading to no power loss and enhanced energy efficiency, making it twice as effective. You can connect the reeflexUV+e with other products from the EHEIM Digital range and manage it through WLAN-compatible devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.). This allows you to select various modes, set timers and pauses, and even activate a booster mode in cases of severe parasite outbreaks. The reeflexUV+e should be utilized to complement the filter system to diminish small organisms (germs, algae spores, etc.) within the aquarium. It is available in four models suitable for aquariums ranging from 300 to 2000 litres. As always, this product comes with EHEIM’s “Made in Germany” assurance, guaranteeing top-notch manufacturing and materials.

Benefits of the EHEIM reeflexUV+e

• Quickly and effectively reduces or eradicates 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 aquarium water in conjunction with a specialized reflector ensures unmatched efficiency with minimal energy consumption.
• Almost no power loss, as the water isn’t redirected due to the clarifier’s advanced design.
• Outstanding performance: Twice as effective as standard UV clarifiers.
• Perfect for breeding tanks, as it lowers the risk of infections.
• Preserves bound cleaning bacteria in the filter, only capturing floating germs.
• Safe and straightforward handling and maintenance.
• AUTO-OFF feature: Automatic safety shut-off when changing lamps.
• Easy installation with the included bracket.
• Flexible installation options with no specific requirements for orientation or flow direction.
• Compatible with other products in the EHEIM Digital family (e.g., synchronization with aquarium lighting).
• Operable via WLAN-enabled devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.).
• Simple and user-friendly operation.
• Three different modes: "constant", "daily cycle", "smart coupling".
• Customizable burn duration, timings, pauses, and more.
• Booster mode for addressing acute parasite infestations.
• Email notifications when lamp replacement is necessary.
• Made in Germany.
• 3-year warranty.
• Suitable for both freshwater and marine environments.

Warning: UV-C radiation can harm eyes and skin even in small quantities. The light source contained in this product is intended solely for disinfecting aquarium water.

Advanced technology for crystal clear water and healthy 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). UV-C rays penetrate the water, effectively eliminating germs, algae spores, and other tiny organisms. Unlike conventional technology, which only irradiates from one side, EHEIM has integrated a reflector so that the radiation is reflected and penetrates the water from multiple angles. This leads to much greater efficiency with the reeflexUV+e, which utilizes the patented EHEIM reflector technology.

Furthermore, the EHEIM reeflexUV+e features a simplified water conduction system. The water flows directly around the burner without any detours, resulting in no loss of performance. The AUTO-OFF feature enhances safety; since UV-C radiation is harmful to skin and eyes, the reeflexUV+e immediately and automatically shuts down when opened.

The EHEIM reeflexUV+e can be paired with other products in the EHEIM Digital family (such as lighting) and is controlled through WLAN-enabled devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.). The operation is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly.

There are three distinct modes: "constant", "daily cycle", and "smart coupling". Users can customize burn durations, timings, pauses, and more. A booster mode is available for tackling acute parasite issues, and when it's time to change the lamp, you'll receive a notification via email.

It's important to note that compared to natural bodies of water, the bacterial concentration in an aquarium is relatively high due to the limited volume of water. Reducing this concentration to a more natural level is essential. However, aquarium water cannot and should not be entirely germ-free. The UV clarifier captures only the germs that are freely floating in the water, leaving the bound cleaning bacteria in the filter (biological filtration), as well as bacteria in the substrate, unharmed.

UV clarification effectively removes water turbidity caused by bacteria or floating algae. Essentially, it curbs algae growth by killing the spores. Generally, UV clarifiers contribute to healthier fish by lowering the risk of infection, making them particularly recommended for breeding tanks. Dangerous pathogens can often settle on eggs or infect young fish that lack sufficient immunity.

UV clarification typically does not alter water parameters.
