Aquael Ultramax BT Filter

Description

Smart Filtration Made Effortless

The Aquael Ultramax BT brings smart automation to one of the most reliable canister filter platforms on the market. By integrating Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) control directly into the motor head, the Ultramax BT eliminates manual flow taps and hard-to-reach dials—putting flow customization, scheduled feeding modes, and daytime wave simulations right into the palms of your hands via the free Aquael BT app (iOS and Android).

Whether running a high-energy aquascaped plant display, a delicate shrimp biotope, or a heavy-bioload predator or marine setup, the Ultramax BT delivers crystal-clear water with minimal maintenance.

Key Features & Benefits

• Wireless App Control (Aquael BT):

  • Smooth Flow Adjustment: Electronically throttle pump output anywhere from a gentle stream to a full 2,200 L/h with infinite percentage-based slider control.

  • Dynamic Flow Modes: Choose between Constant, Pulse, Sinusoidal, or Intermittent wave patterns to replicate natural river currents and reef swells.

  • Smart Day & Night Simulation: Program calmer, reduced flow rates during nighttime hours to allow resting fish and plants to recuperate without fighting heavy currents.

  • Gentle Feeding Mode: Automatically ramps down filter flow during feeding times so food doesn’t get drawn into the filter or blown across the tank, then softly resumes normal operation.

  • Safety Alerts & Diagnostics: Visual error indicators and audible buzzer notifications alert you immediately if the impeller is blocked or compromised. PIN protection prevents accidental setting adjustments.

• Large 10.1 L Media Capacity (5 Stackable Baskets):

  Featuring a 16 L total canister volume and 5 modular media baskets (1.9 L each), the Ultramax BT allows custom configurations of biological ceramics, chemical resins, and mechanical sponges to suit any biotope.

• Top-Accessible Integrated Pre-Filter (0.6 L):

  A separate 10 PPI pre-filter sponge is housed directly inside the canister lid. It traps coarse debris before it reaches the main biological media. Cleaning the pre-filter takes seconds without needing to open the entire canister bucket, extending general maintenance intervals to months.

• Patented Spill-Free Double Ball Valve System:

  Integrated dual shut-off valves seal both intake and outlet hoses simultaneously with a single lever movement. You can disconnect hoses instantly without water siphoning onto carpets or cabinetry.

• Effortless Self-Priming:

  A built-in ergonomic primer plunger fills the canister in just 2 to 4 quick strokes—eliminating manual siphoning or messy pipe filling during initial setup.

• Whisper-Quiet Operation (<32 dB):

  A precision ceramic impeller shaft paired with silicone vibration dampeners isolates mechanical noise, allowing the unit to run in bedrooms, living spaces, and home offices.

• Outstanding Energy Efficiency & Low Voltage:

  Powered by an advanced motor drawing just 6.1 W at low output up to 13.5 W at maximum capacity, running on a safe 20 V operating voltage.
