EHEIM thermocontrol-e - the electronically controlled version of the precision aquarium control heater thermocontrol. The legendary heating element with all the advantages. Even more accurate and convenient. With guarantee for highest quality and safety.
With the EHEIM thermocontrol-e heating element your fish get the right temperature even more precisely - in every aquarium.
As you know, fish from tropical and subtropical waters need a certain constant water temperature. Before the engineer Eugen Jäger invented the aquarium heater decades ago, there was no really satisfactory solution to produce the appropriate water temperature. They dealt with complicated and sometimes curious methods. Some put the aquarium in the sun or by the heater or stove.
The EHEIM thermocontrol aquarium control heater is a further development of the legendary heating element and thermocontrol-e is the latest electronically controlled variant.
The temperature can be precisely adjusted from 20 to 32 °C. The control accuracy is ± 0.5 °C.
The heat is kept constant. A control lamp indicates the heating function.
The heater is absolutely waterproof, can be fully immersed, has a dry run protection (Thermo Safety Control) and is suitable for fresh and marine water.
One of the most important innovations is the glass coating:
It increases the heating surface,
compresses the heat, ensures optimum, uniform heat output and
forms a heat shield (the aquarium inhabitants do not mind touching it).
The coating is made of special laboratory glass. This was created for research purposes. It is therefore free of pollutants that could be released into the water. Chemical and biological substances do not attack it. There are no cracks and hairline cracks through which condensation water could pass. It is impact resistant. And even extreme temperature fluctuations, such as those that may occur during water changes, do not affect this glass.
Features:
Precise temperature adjustment from 20 to 32 °C
No readjustment necessary
Control accuracy ± 0.5 °C
The heat is kept constant
Control lamp indicates the heating function (red: heating up; green: temperature reached)

Thanks for the review mate, found really helpful!
Awesome!
Thank you very much for your review. It was well thought out and easy to understand even for a beginner like myself. I've just gotten my first aquarium and finding a reliable heater that's less likely to prove dangerous to my future fish (L046 plecos!) is paramount. I had come across the eheim heaters in my research but being able to see the item in question, as well as hear about user experience and usage, is extremely helpful. I'll definitely be picking one up!
Everything I needed to know, thanks bro
Love the humour. See you post on Facebook, I’m the one who always says you have great videos :) but thank you for the review, I wasn’t expecting an old company like Eheim to release a new product. They seem a bit stale but none the less well known for good products.
Thank you for the kind word :)
Indeed Eheim don't release new product often but you can tell they tested their stuff before.
I have also one of their filter and I bought a new Fluval last year and... honestly the Eheim is just better because it's more convenient. Tunze is another brand also similar to Eheim in a way. They test a lot before.
Great video, thanks.
Good review.
Thanks for the review for the new EA games one ;) The old dial never confused me, i actually liked the detailed temperature selection haha. Since its been so hot in montreal, i removed all my heaters as i dont keep the AC on generally and in the winter my apartment is well heated. i think heaters are overhyped in this hobby but thats just my 2 cents on it. LFS just heat the room instead :)
Nice review and comparison with the previous popular model! I like all the little improvements they made to the new model... and yes, the old manual compensation dial confused me, I don't think I ever figured it out, lol. One thing, did the auto-off when it's out of the water not working?
I have a video coming soon with a more Direct comparison with the Jager (because why not), I'm not sure to be honest about the auto off. The only thing I can tell is it's NOT Super duper hot compare to the jager if I do the same experimentation. I think I felt the heat just because it was the residual heat. I had a previous moment in the past where it was in the air (by accident) but didn't notice the green light... so I'm just assuming it detect a Overheat and shut off, something like that.
Yeah I bought a cheap heater and it exploded in my sump (even though it was on a controller) - I got a Sicce - don't think I would use a heater without a controller on my display but maybe on my QT I will get one next time (though I should get an Inkbird for that too)
I had the older version blue top of this heater it lasted 12 years ,it just gave up on me yesterday the light was on but no heat.
Good run!
i have same as this heater i have it on 28 c but the thermometer read 20 c
I see they removed the mechanism for recalibration they just want you to stick with the factory settings. Another thing is the wire got thinner I think the cable of the old jager will last longer than this new model
Thanks for the informative video. If I understand correctly, one Eheim 300W heater can provide sufficient heat of approximately 84 degrees in a 200 gallon aquarium?
Probably, but would recommend 2 or 3 150w instead
@@AquaSplendor Thanks!
All the volume recommendations on the box asume start from room temperature at 18-20°C.
Heaters are not guaranteed to reach specific temperature, only a specific difference (delta).
And on your video you touch the heater and you burn your hand is it fine for the fish are can get burn too?
Usually it's fine in the water, I never notice any fish or living creature being bother by it. But I notice some of them love to sleep on it lol :P
What wattage would you recommend for a 25 gal tank. 95 Ltres.
Following the recommendation of the manufacture, I think they are spot on. 150-100w
Looks like part of uncle Rico's time machine from Napoleon Dynamite.
Mine lasted just over 3 years and broke today. Unplugged it to do a water change and it never came back on. Luckily still have my old Eheim as a backup. Wouldn’t buy another one. It was good but clearly not that reliable. My old Eheim is 5 years old and still going strong. More electronics is just more to go wrong with it.
actually mine died also after 2 years, i unplugged it for summer period and never came back. I have heard other people having the same problem. if they take it out of the plug for too long, it wont start again...
Thats true old models have more durability on electronic parts and build
actually you need to cover the temp sensor that shows in the minute 5:32,
Hi can I use 150 watt for 40 gallon?
Sure
Can one mount it also horizontally?
Best way
No, I called the company and they advised me that if you place it horizontally, the heater will not last as long.
Hello I have one more question about it should there be such a small red light on this heater when it heats up? Because I barely see it
Yep, make sure to rotate so you can see it (if you want)
@@AquaSplendor the light is almost invisible not like regular
@@ariannasorrentino4430 hmm I don't know what to say :(
@@AquaSplendor ok so I add it on my 40 gallon tank 2 days ago on 79 it's 26.111 celsius so it's has 24 celsius only it's not going upper still I was afraid it's will over heat my tank but it's heat it up like all small aquneon heatters why lol
@@ariannasorrentino4430 Could be different reason, the monitor you take to measure is set a little bit offset (they are all are to be honest).
You can just turn down the dial a little bit. Keep in mind there's a variation of 0.5C, Look time to time if there is any green led, it will tell you it reach the correct temperature set.
I never got a Thermo Control E to ever work for me. I still have them lying around.
Reach Eheim, they have good warranty
Hey man, can I get this heater - 150W for 250 liter aquarium?
Maybe, depends on your environment and what temperature you want to set it.
If it's just tiny degrees adjustment, no problem
@@AquaSplendor for saltwater, like 25 degrees
@@danailpetkov1815 If you ambiant room is 25 you don't need a heater
Question! The thermocontrol states in the manual that it should be kept in vertical position, is it safe to put it in a diagonal position?
Yup
@@AquaSplendor Awesome, thank you! Any idea why it specifies it being kept in a vertical position?
@@Midnightwolf1333 I'm not sure honestly, the flow play a crucial role. That being said all my heater are mostly vertical and ... a bit diagonal. But the flow is the most crucial point to consider.
@@AquaSplendor Awesome, I've got the heaters sensor right next to the outflow so it's got a constant current on it.
Sure the "e" stay for electronic controlled :-)
"EHEIM thermocontrol-e - the electronically controlled version of the precision aquarium control heater thermocontrol."
Here in Germany, we used them decades. The previous company name was Jäger (Hunter)
I never have big issue with them, sometimes they died. Sometimes they lose power, because the heating filament slid together.
Well here the thing for the E: The Jager is also Electronic ... so ... I don't know, it didn't make sense to me having that "word" in the new model... kinda weird, lol.
I didn't know Jager meant Hunter, good to know, and... it doesn't make sense either, so maybe that E is for Electronic after all lol
How long did you use them before they "die" or else? I've been running different one for 3--5 years with no issue (except when I have a accident but it's my fault)
@@AquaSplendor This make absolut sense, because the Germans must label all different products correct, precise and short (it is not a law, it is just freaky). There is no space for a long product name or emotion ;-)
I have no idea how the old an new heater works. Maybe the old one works only with a bimetal in a mechanical way. The new one measure and control the temperature for sure. That difference must take place in the name. :-D
Is like the same weird (shit) thing with german cars, like Audi. A = Audi and the number are type of the base model. For example A1, A2, A3....:-D
And Jäger is only the old company name, or rather the name of the inventor. Eheim have purchased the company Jäger for many years, but they still put the name on the heater :-D
Yes, we are a kind of very weird.
Jager most likely uses an bimetallic thermostat, so no, that's not electronic, it's a mechanical thermostat. It's like those cheap builder grade Honeywell baseboard thermostat.
You can’t have the heater touching the aquarium, or anything else or having it horizontally. I called the company and they advised me not to do that. However we could have it in a 45 Not a HORIZONTAL position.
Could elaborate on this? I can't see any logical explanation
@@AquaSplendor temperature cannot reach fast enough the overheating sensor (dry run). As a result you dont have protection. Also in a horizontal position is possible to get condensation inside.
Basta ler o manual de instruções! Depois dizem que não presta
Alright people, is it worth it or not?
Because I have a long plan with my aquariums, for me it's worth it the extra cost but everyone has different needs!
Hopefully, the price in North America will be normal one day but for now, If you want some from amazon here some links:

The manual specifically says to not place the heater horizontally. o.O
Yep, as long you have good current it's fine.
@@AquaSplendor thanks for the clarification
I doubt anybody would buy it if it really was $720 AUD lol
may be a calculation error lol 300w is $130 aud
Speak slower
Ooooookkkaaayyy
Dude, I literally did not understand a single word. No offence tho.
