JBL ProTemp Floor Heating

The JBL ProTemp is an underfloor heating system for freshwater aquariums and is used for a thermal flow of water, which has a positive effect on the root formation of aquarium plants.

Flow of water
Aquatic plants grow better in the wild if they have access to nutrient seepage sources. Plants get their food from these sources. Due to the underfloor heating, weakly heated water at the bottom rises and cold water full of dissolved nutrients and minerals flows downwards. This creates a thermal flow that flushes food for plants directly to the roots.

Easy installation
Place the heating cable in even loops on the cleaned bottom pane when setting up an aquarium. The heating cable is fixed with the included suction cups (slot suction cups). Lead the cold leads of the cable out of the aquarium and attach them to the transformer. The separation into hot and cold conductors can be recognised by the black lines on the cable.

Safe use
For safe use in the aquarium, the heating cable is silicone-coated and works with an energy-saving transformer with 12 V voltage. The transformer should be installed in a well-ventilated, splash-proof location. The underfloor heating ensures slight warming of the substrate, but should definitely be supplemented with a heater for warm water fish.
