The Eheim Thermopreset Heater is a compact, easy-to-use aquarium heater designed to maintain a constant 25°C without the need for manual temperature adjustment. Its electronically controlled heating system provides accurate temperature regulation and even heat distribution, making it an excellent plug-and-play option for tropical freshwater and marine aquariums.
Unlike the adjustable Eheim Thermocontrol range, the Thermopreset is factory set to 25°C, making it especially convenient for aquariums where a standard tropical temperature is required. A protective plastic guard surrounds the heater for additional durability, while an LED indicator shows when the heater is actively operating. Eheim also includes automatic dry-running protection for added safety.
