Overview
Better than gold
AQUAEL PLATINIUM HEATER is a glass aquarium heater with an electronic thermostat for precise temperature control in freshwater and marine aquariums. These heaters are a part of a series of 9 models ranging from 25 to 500 watts. Each heater is rigorously tested and calibrated in the AQUAEL laboratory, which guarantees reliability and safety.
Precision
The PLATINIUM HEATER maintains aquarium water temperature with ±0.4°C accuracy. Equipped with a fully electronic thermostat - devoid of damage-prone mechanical components - ensures reliability and trouble-free operation. The ceramic heat sink distributes heat evenly, eliminating areas of different temperatures in the tank, providing optimal conditions for fish and minimizing stress.
Ease of use
Intuitive operation is provided by the One Touch system, which allows you to change the temperature with the touch of a button. LEDs indicate the current aquarium temperature and the programmed target temperature. A set of rubber suction cups allows for easy and trouble-free installation.
Versatility
The heater is designed for freshwater and marine aquariums. With a wide temperature range (25-33°C), it is also ideal for treating fish diseases such as fishpox. The diameter of the heater is 2.2 cm.
Safety
PLATINIUM HEATER heaters are manufactured in accordance with the most stringent European safety standards, ensuring safe use and maintenance. Each device is tested and calibrated in the AQUAEL laboratory, guaranteeing precision and safe operation.
Market recognition
PLATINIUM HEATER has been recognized for years by both customers and aquarium professionals.

AQUAEL is proud to provide products that meet customer expectations and support healthy fish life in aquariums around the world.
How to use
Mount the heater in the aquarium with the suction cups, set the desired temperature with the One Touch system and monitor the LED indications. Make sure that the heater is completely submerged in water during operation.
Maintenance
After use, rinse the heater in clean water to remove dirt or algae. Store in a dry place when not in use to preserve its integrity.
Comments
Make sure the heater is properly installed and submerged before turning it on to avoid damage. Check the temperature regularly to maintain optimal conditions in the aquarium.

Why are Platinum Heaters better than normal Heaters?
Platinum Heaters vs Standard Glass Heaters
|
Feature |
Aquael Platinum Heaters |
Standard Glass Heaters |
|---|---|---|
|
Thermostat Type |
Fully electronic thermostat (no mechanical parts). Extremely accurate and long-lasting. |
Mechanical thermostat (bi-metal switch) — less precise, wears out over time. |
|
Temperature Accuracy |
±0.4 °C — maintains a very stable temperature, ideal for sensitive fish or planted tanks. |
±1–2 °C — noticeable temperature swings, which can stress fish. |
|
Temperature Control |
“One-Touch System” — digital setting with LED display for easy adjustment and monitoring. |
Manual dial — no digital indicator, easy to mis-set. |
|
Safety & Durability |
Smart auto-off feature if heater runs dry or overheats; thick shock-resistant glass with ceramic heat sink. |
Usually lacks dry-run protection; thinner glass can break more easily. |
|
Heat Distribution |
Ceramic heat sink ensures even heat spread through the water. |
Often uneven heating — hot spots near the glass. |
|
Suitability |
Works in both freshwater and marine aquariums, reliable for long-term use. |
Generally made for freshwater only; corrosion risk in saltwater. |
|
Visual Display |
LED indicator shows set and actual temperature clearly. |
No display — only an adjustable knob. |
|
Energy Efficiency |
Reaches set temperature quickly and maintains it without fluctuations — saves energy. |
More fluctuations = more on/off cycling and wasted electricity. |
|
Maintenance |
Virtually maintenance-free; easy to monitor via LED. |
Requires periodic calibration checks. |
