Powerful Filtration for Large Aquariums
The Aquael Hypermax BT Thermo is designed to provide exceptional mechanical and biological filtration for large aquarium systems.
Its powerful motor delivers a maximum pump output of 4500L/H, with an operating flow rate of approximately 2400L/H when fitted with filter media.
The generous 31 litre canister provides extensive space for filtration materials, helping maintain effective water circulation and suitable water conditions for fish, plants and other aquarium inhabitants.
Large 15.9L Filter Media Capacity
The Hypermax BT Thermo features an impressive 15.9 litre filtration media capacity, including the pre-filter.
Four removable media baskets, each with a capacity of 3.6 litres, allow flexible arrangement of suitable mechanical, biological and chemical filtration media.
This allows aquarium keepers to customise the filtration system according to their aquarium requirements.
Convenient 1.5L Pre-Filter
The integrated 1.5 litre pre-filter captures larger particles before they reach the main filtration chambers.
This helps reduce debris accumulation within the biological media and makes routine maintenance more convenient.
The pre-filter is designed for easy access, allowing regular cleaning without unnecessary disruption to the main filtration media.
Integrated 300W Aquarium Heating
One of the standout features of the Hypermax BT Thermo is its integrated aquarium heating system.
Two built-in electronic heaters provide a combined heating output of 300W (2 x 150W), allowing aquarium water to be heated as it circulates through the filter.
The temperature can be adjusted between 20°C and 33°C, providing flexibility for suitable freshwater and marine aquarium environments.
By incorporating heating within the filter body, the Hypermax BT Thermo reduces the need for additional heaters inside the aquarium, creating a cleaner and more natural-looking display.
Bluetooth Control with Aquael BT App
Manage your aquarium filtration and heating conveniently using the Aquael BT App.
The app allows you to monitor and adjust important operating parameters without needing to access the filter directly.
App Control Features:
- Adjust water flow performance.
- Monitor current water temperature.
- Control the integrated heating system.
- Select different water circulation modes.
- Programme feeding schedules.
- Configure Day & Night operating settings.
- Protect settings using a PIN lock.
- Monitor filter operating parameters.
The filter can also be controlled directly using the integrated touchscreen on the filter head.
Four Adjustable Water Flow Modes
The Hypermax BT Thermo provides four programmable flow modes, allowing water movement to be tailored to the requirements of your aquarium.
- Constant Mode – Provides continuous, steady water circulation.
- Pulsed Mode – Creates rhythmic changes in water flow.
- Sine Wave Mode – Produces smooth, gradual variations in circulation.
- Intermittent Mode – Alternates between programmed flow periods.
The duration of individual sequences can be adjusted, with wave periods ranging from 1 to 60 seconds.
These settings allow aquarium keepers to create water movement suited to different fish species, plants and aquarium environments.
Programmable Feeding Functions
The integrated feeding mode allows the filter to automatically reduce water flow during feeding.
This helps prevent fish food from being immediately dispersed throughout the aquarium by strong currents.
Up to four feeding times per day can be programmed, making regular feeding more convenient.
Day & Night Operating Mode
The Day & Night function allows separate water flow and temperature settings for daytime and nighttime operation.
Lower nighttime flow rates and temperature settings can be programmed to help reproduce natural changes in aquatic environments where appropriate.
Changes are made gradually to avoid sudden fluctuations in aquarium conditions.
Quiet & Energy-Efficient Performance
Despite its powerful filtration capabilities, the Hypermax BT Thermo is designed for quiet operation.
Operating noise levels range from approximately 24 to 44dB, depending on the selected performance settings.
The energy-efficient pump consumes approximately 18–36W, providing powerful water circulation with controlled electrical consumption.
The integrated heating system has a separate maximum heating output of 300W.
Suitable for Freshwater & Marine Aquariums
The Aquael Hypermax BT Thermo is suitable for compatible freshwater and marine aquarium installations.
Its flexible filtration configuration and adjustable water circulation allow it to be adapted to different aquarium requirements.
Whether maintaining a large tropical freshwater display or a suitable marine aquarium, the Hypermax BT Thermo provides extensive filtration capacity and convenient control.
