⚠️ Important Information - Please Read
This is an unregulated heating element. It MUST be operated with a reliable, external temperature controller (sold separately). The controller will switch the heater on and off based on the aquarium's water temperature, while the heater's internal PTC technology provides the critical redundant safety layer.
What is PTC Technology?
PTC stands for "Positive Temperature Coefficient." Instead of a simple resistance wire, these heaters use a solid-state ceramic chip that is self-regulating. As the element heats up, its own electrical resistance increases, automatically reducing the power draw. This means the heating element itself cannot overheat and run away, even if the controller fails in the 'on' position. It’s a built-in, foolproof safety layer that provides unparalleled peace of mind.
Why Titanium?
Titanium is the premium choice for heating elements for a reason. It's virtually unbreakable (no more cracked glass), completely inert and corrosion-proof in saltwater, and transfers heat far more efficiently than glass. This means faster, more stable heating for your system.
These heaters are the unregulated elements only, designed to be paired with a high-quality external temperature controller. This combination gives you two layers of protection: the controller accurately reads your tank's water temperature, and the PTC element ensures its own core can't dangerously overheat.
Built to the highest German standards and holding Australian electrical certification, this is the safest and most reliable heating solution for the serious aquarist.
