Power Capacity | Small fish tanks (≤20 gallons), Ponds | Industry Standard: 30W (basic heating) Our Base: 50W (meets ASTM F2638) Our Advanced: 100W (▲▲ doubles capacity) | ▲▲ Advanced: Heats larger ponds/tanks faster (e.g., 100W handles up to 80 gallons) Base: Energy-efficient for small setups | Advanced: Higher energy consumption; Base: Limited for large tanks |
Temperature Control | Sensitive fish species, Reef tanks | Industry Standard: Manual dial (±3°C error) Our Base/Advanced: Automatic thermostat (±1°C accuracy, IEC 60730) | ▲ Precision: Maintains stable temps for coral/reef ecosystems Base/Advanced: Prevents overheating (▲▲ vs manual controls) | Higher cost vs basic heaters; requires initial calibration |
Material Construction | High-traffic aquariums, Saltwater use | Industry Standard: Plastic housing Our Base: Glass rod + ABS casing (ISO 9001) Advanced: Reinforced borosilicate glass (▲ heat resistance) | ▲ Advanced: Resists thermal shock in saltwater Base: Lightweight, eco-friendly (90% recycled ABS) | Glass may crack under extreme pressure; ABS less durable than metal |
Attachment Method | Hanging tanks, Curved aquarium walls | Industry Standard: Magnetic strips or clips Our Base/Advanced: Dual suction cups (ISO 9286 adhesion) + magnetic base | ▲▲ Versatility: Secures to glass/curved surfaces (e.g., nano tanks) Base/Advanced: No drifting in strong water flow | Suction cups may fail in heavily planted tanks; requires surface cleaning |
Safety Features | Schools, Unattended tanks | Industry Standard: Basic overheat alarm Our Base/Advanced: Auto shut-off at 50°C (IEC 60335-2-16) + leak detection | ▲▲ Advanced: Alerts via LED (red/green) + automatic power cut-off Base: Reduces fire risk by 70% vs competitors | Adds complexity for users unfamiliar with smart features |
Energy Efficiency | Budget-conscious users, Eco-friendly setups | Industry Standard: 85% efficiency Our Base/Advanced: 95% energy efficiency (EN 62301) | ▲▲ Cost Savings: Cuts energy bills by 15–20% Base/Advanced: Eco-friendly design (recycled materials + low standby power) | Requires full submersion to achieve max efficiency |
