The Aquarium Heater Thermostat: Keeping the Temperature Perfect

The thermostat is a complementary but essential element for heating your aquarium. It allows you to regulate the water temperature precisely and automatically, thus ensuring a stable and optimal environment for your fish.

What is a thermostat used for?
• Precise regulation: It maintains the water temperature at a constant level, switching the heater on and off as needed.
• Overheat protection: It prevents the water from becoming too hot, which could be fatal for your fish.
• Ease of use: Most thermostats are very simple to set and use.

The different types of thermostats:

• Mechanical thermostats: The simplest and most economical. They work using a liquid capsule that expands or contracts depending on the temperature.
• Digital thermostats: More accurate and offering more features. They allow you to set the temperature with great precision and often have an LCD screen to display the current temperature.
• External thermostats: These connect to the heater using a cable and allow the temperature to be controlled remotely.
• Thermostats integrated into the heater: Some heaters are equipped with an integrated thermostat, which simplifies installation.
