Fluval E Heaters
Maintaining proper temperature is one of the most important
factors in aquarium care. The Fluval E Heaters continuously
monitor and display aquarium water temperature, ensuring the
well-being of your aquarium inhabitants.
Simply the most technologically advanced submersible aquarium
heaters available today, the Fluval E Series features VueTech
technology. Its LCD display delivers peace of mind by
continuously showing real time water temperatures. During normal
operation the temperature display changes color if the aquarium
water temperature varies from the pre-set temperature. Should
external heat sources or other equipment cause the aquarium water
temperature to rise or fall excessively the colored screen will
flash, indicating a potential risk.

VueTech Technology for precision and safety- During normal
operation the temperature readout will change color if the
aquarium water varies +/-2 degrees F or more from the pre-set
temperature. Should any external heat sources or other equipment,
such as chillers, cause the aquarium water temperature to rise or
fall beyond 5.5 °F, the colored screen will flash, indicating a
potential risk. The ability to measure temperature in Celsius is
also an option.
Precise temperature setting- With the easy to use adjustment
lever, the temperature can be precisely set in 0.5° increments.
Advanced safety- The integrated fish guard offers advanced
protection. Fish and invertebrates cannot come into direct
contact with the heater core. The glass sleeve is also protected
against shocks from large fish species.
Heater bracket- Built with a secure slim profile ing
bracket. The heater can be adjusted or removed without removing
the ing bracket. The great asset of the ing bracket is
its ability for you to the heater at varied angles, so you
can view the front screen in any direction you wish. For those
with a marine aquarium and sump, you can also attach the Fluval E
heater there.
Digital micro-processor- Advanced micro-processor technology with
dual temperature sensors provide accurate and real time water
temperature readings.
The Fluval E series heater is available in four sizes:
50 Watts: Suitable for aquariums up to 15 gallons
100 Watts: Suitable for aquariums up to 30 gallons
200 Watts: Suitable for aquariums up to 65 gallons
300 Watts: Suitable for aquariums up to 100 gallons
A few key facts to know about your Fluval E Heater:
* Thermal Sensor:
The temperature sensing technology is as precise as an external
probe!
The internal Thermal Sensor samples the actual water temperature
directly through the glass of the heater tube rather than the air
temperature within the tube, as is the case with standard
bi-metallic strip thermostats. Since the Thermal Sensor actually
reads the true water temperature, it is more accurate and
reliable than conventional bi-metallic heaters.
* Reliable and Precise Electronic Components:
Advanced Electronic Circuitry, no moving parts to wear out!
Since the FLUVAL E heater has no bi-metallic points, there are no
moving parts to arc, corrode or wear. The thermostatic control of
the heater is separated from the water thermal sensor, different
from conventional bi-metallic heaters, where the sensor is
directly built into the thermostat. It is therefore less affected
by extraneous factors.

Simple Installation Key Facts
-----------------------------
* It’s recommended to fill the aquarium with water that is close
to the desired temperature you are trying to achieve.
-To ensure even and thorough distribution of warmed water and to
provide an accurate temperature readings, the heater must be
placed in close proximity to a source of water movement.
Specifically, it should be placed at the rear of the aquarium,
close to a filter or pumps water output. Water must at all times
cover the heater at least up to the minimum water level
indicated. Always maintain the water level in the aquarium to
compensate for water loss due to evaporation. Note: A unique
heater feature is its Low-Flow Indicator. If you see “LF” on your
heater screen, this simply means that you need to place the
heater in an area with more water circulation.(Refer to
Instruction Manual for more information)
1. Position the heater in the aquarium (vertically or
horizontally) and press suction cups firmly against glass, to
adhere to the aquarium wall. If rear glass ing is not
possible, use the side glass ing adapter.
2. Allow heater to acclimatize in the aquarium water temperature
for 20 minutes before plugging it into the electrical outlet.
3. After 20 minutes, plug in the heater and set the degree scale
if necessary.
4. At each Power-on, the E Heater goes through an initial
self-test procedure during which it carries out a self-diagnosis
to check internal circuitry and sensors operation, followed by a
period to verify the surrounding conditions.
WARNING: The heater must never be operated outside of the
aquarium. If the water level falls below the minimum water level
MIN, the thermostat can no longer "read” the water temperature
and therefore can no longer control the heating correctly. If it
has to be taken out of the water or when transferring or changing
the water, disconnect the heater from the power source and wait
for at least 30 minutes to allow it to cool down.
Warranty Information:
Fluval E Series Heaters are guaranteed against defects in
material or workmanship under normal aquarium usage and service
for 5 years. We offer a 5 year guarantee on all non-replaceable
parts which means that the heater will be repaired or replaced at
the manufacturer's discretion, free of charge, when the complete
heater is returned with proof of purchase and postage paid. This
warranty does not apply to any heater that has been subjected to
misuse, negligence, or tampering.
