In the ever-evolving world of aquarium maintenance, precision and reliability are paramount. Any aquarist worth their salt knows the importance of maintaining stable water parameters, and one critical aspect of this is ensuring a consistent water level. Enter the Tunze Osmolator 3 (model 3154.00), the latest innovation in auto top-off systems designed to make aquarium maintenance a breeze. Let's dive into what sets this new model apart from its predecessor that was on the market for about 15 years or so.
Precision Water Level Control
At the heart of the Osmolator 3 lies its advanced DC sine wave pump, engineered for efficiency and whisper-quiet operation. This pump not only delivers precise water level control but also operates with minimal noise, ensuring a tranquil environment for both aquarists and aquatic inhabitants alike. With a maximum head pressure that exceeds expectations, the Osmolator 3 tackles even the most demanding setups with ease, providing consistent water replenishment without compromise.
Enhanced Connectivity and Convenience
In a move towards simplicity and efficiency, Tunze has equipped the Osmolator 3 with push-connect fittings, facilitating effortless installation and maintenance. The inclusion of blue translucent tubing, as opposed to traditional clear tubing, serves a dual purpose. Not only does it add a touch of aesthetic appeal to the setup, but it also helps to mitigate algae growth by filtering out certain wavelengths of light, maintaining water clarity and quality.
Redundant Sensor System
Recognizing the importance of reliability in ATO systems, Tunze has implemented a dual-sensor setup in the Osmolator 3. This includes both a primary and backup sensor, ensuring uninterrupted functionality in the event of sensor failure. This redundant system provides aquarists with added peace of mind, knowing that their aquarium's water level is safeguarded against unforeseen technical issues.
A constant water level keeps the salt concentration constant in seawater aquariums. Incl. Turbelle® High Jet 5030 dosing pump with integrated dry running and blockage protection, magnet holder, 12V DC power supply unit, tube and tube holder. Suitable for placement in cabinet filter systems or on the edge of the aquarium. The sensor holds on glass panes up to 15 mm (0.59”) and the tube holder up to 22 mm (0.87”).
detects the water level with an accuracy of 0.5 mm, resists air bubbles, deposits and scratches. The independent thermal safety sensor stops the Turbelle® High Jet 5030 pump in the event of overfilling, ensuring 100% overflow protection.
All required components are ready for installation in the package (except reservoir). No software setup required. The fixed parameters are based on many years of experience.
Long-lasting high-tech dosing pump Turbelle® High Jet 5030 with a maximum delivery height of 6.2 m (20.34') and pleasantly quiet operation thanks to a real 3-phase sine wave.
With remarkably high abrasion resistance, seawater resistance and extreme resistance to mechanical impact. As a result, it does not harden in water like PVC cables. With an extra high-contrast intermediate cable sheathing to detect damage at an early stage.
Produced in Bavaria by MEDI Kabel.
The set includes a corrosion-resistant, screw-in push-in fitting (¼ inch BSP to ø6 mm). In addition, a PU hose made entirely in Germany - low-emission, hydrolysis-resistant, microbe-resistant, flexible, but does not tend to kink when laid.
With magnet holder and tube holder for an attachment to any aquarium edge or in the aquarium filter up to 15 mm (2/3").
