Eheim reeflex uv sterilizer is an advanced ultraviolet water sterilisation unit that uses UV-C light to eliminate free-floating algae, harmful bacteria, parasites, and pathogens as aquarium water passes through its reflective internal chamber. The innovative reeflex design features a mirror-polished stainless steel interior that reflects UV-C light multiple times within the chamber, dramatically increasing the effective UV dose that waterborne organisms receive compared to conventional single-pass UV sterilizers. This reflection technology delivers superior sterilization performance from a compact, energy-efficient unit. Crystal-clear, pathogen-free water for healthier fish. Available at TaraPet, the UAE's trusted online pet store.

EHEIM has been engineering premium aquarium technology in Germany since 1949, and the reeflex UV sterilizer represents their most advanced water purification innovation.

Revolutionary Reflector Technology

The eheim reeflex uv sterilizer features a polished stainless steel inner chamber that reflects UV-C light back and forth across the water column multiple times. This reflection multiplies the effective UV exposure that waterborne organisms receive during a single pass through the unit. The result is sterilization efficiency several times higher than conventional non-reflective UV sterilizers of the same wattage.

Green Water Elimination

Free-floating microscopic algae that turn aquarium water green are destroyed rapidly by the UV-C exposure as they pass through the sterilizer. Most aquariums with persistent green water problems see dramatic clearing within 48 to 72 hours of installing a properly sized reeflex unit. The sterilizer provides a permanent solution to green water without chemicals.

Pathogen Control

Waterborne bacteria, viruses, and parasites including ich free-swimmers are killed or rendered non-infectious by the UV-C radiation. This reduces disease transmission between fish by eliminating pathogens from the water column before they can find new hosts. The sterilizer provides a continuous passive disease prevention system that operates 24 hours a day.

Smart Electronic Control

The advanced electronic version features intelligent monitoring that tracks UV bulb performance and alerts you when replacement is needed based on actual UV output rather than arbitrary time intervals. This smart monitoring ensures the sterilizer always operates at effective levels and you never run with a depleted bulb unknowingly.

Inline Installation

The reeflex connects inline with your existing canister filter hoses, treating water as it returns from the filter to the aquarium. No separate pump or additional plumbing is required because the filter pump drives water through both the filter and the UV unit. This integration makes installation simple and space-efficient.

Compact Vertical Design

The slim vertical housing fits neatly behind or beside the aquarium without requiring significant space. The compact form factor allows installation even in tight equipment areas where horizontal UV sterilizers would not fit. The unit can be mounted vertically on a wall or placed standing in a cabinet.

Low Energy Consumption

Thanks to the reflector technology multiplying UV effectiveness, the reeflex achieves superior sterilization from a lower-wattage UV bulb compared to conventional designs. The lower wattage translates to less electricity consumption and less heat generation. The energy-efficient design keeps operating costs minimal during continuous operation.

Easy Bulb Replacement

The UV-C bulb is accessed by simply unscrewing the bulb housing from the main unit. No tools, no disassembly of plumbing connections, and no disruption to the water circuit is required. Bulb replacement takes under a minute, encouraging timely replacement that maintains sterilization effectiveness.

Quartz Glass Sleeve

A protective quartz glass sleeve separates the UV bulb from the water flow, preventing direct water contact with the electrical bulb components while allowing maximum UV-C transmission. Quartz glass transmits UV-C wavelengths far more effectively than regular glass, ensuring the full sterilizing power reaches the water column.

Freshwater and Marine Use

The reeflex operates safely and effectively in both freshwater and saltwater aquarium systems. The stainless steel and quartz glass construction resists corrosion in marine conditions. Reef aquarists value UV sterilization for controlling bacterial blooms and parasites that threaten expensive coral and fish collections.

Fish Health Insurance

Running a UV sterilizer provides ongoing passive disease prevention that reduces the frequency and severity of disease outbreaks in your aquarium. Fish in UV-treated tanks experience lower stress from pathogen exposure and recover more quickly when illness does occur. The sterilizer acts as continuous health insurance for your fish collection.

Water Clarity Enhancement

Beyond killing algae and pathogens, UV treatment reduces dissolved organic compounds and protein molecules that cause water yellowing and cloudiness. The result is noticeably clearer, more transparent water that enhances the visual beauty of your aquarium display. Many aquarists notice improved water clarity within days of installing the reeflex.

Safe for Beneficial Bacteria

UV sterilizers only affect organisms that pass through the unit in the water column. The beneficial bacteria attached to filter media, substrate, and surfaces inside your aquarium are not exposed to UV and remain completely unaffected. Your biological filtration continues to function normally while the UV unit targets only free-floating organisms.

UAE Aquarium Protection

The warm water temperatures in UAE aquariums create conditions where bacteria multiply rapidly and algae growth is accelerated. UV sterilization provides essential protection against the increased pathogen and algae pressure that warm UAE conditions create. The reeflex is particularly valuable for UAE fishkeepers maintaining sensitive species collections in warm water.
