Product Information

Full details

This guide is for Oase FiltoSmart 300 aquarium filter owners looking to add integrated heating capabilities. The key benefit is transforming your existing filter into a thermo-filter, eliminating the need for a separate, external aquarium heater. A potential caveat is that the heater itself is not included and must be purchased separately. The ThermoFit kit allows for a discreet and safe integration of heating, maintaining optimal water temperature for your aquatic environment.

FAQs

What heater do I need for the ThermoFit kit?

The ThermoFit kit is designed to work with Oase HeatUp aquarium heaters. You will need to select a wattage appropriate for your aquarium size (e.g., a 100W heater for a 50-gallon tank).

Can I use a heater from another brand?

While the kit is designed for Oase HeatUp heaters, compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and may affect performance or safety. It is recommended to use the specified Oase heater for optimal results.

Does the kit come with the aquarium heater?

No, the Oase ThermoFit accessory kit includes the adaptation module only. The HeatUp aquarium heater must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the ThermoFit module?

During routine filter maintenance, gently clean the ThermoFit module with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using soap or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the filter is unplugged before cleaning.

Will this kit work with other FiltoSmart models?

No, this specific ThermoFit kit (MPN: 45050) is designed exclusively for the Oase FiltoSmart 300 filter.

Is the heater adjustable with this kit?

Yes, the kit works in conjunction with an adjustable Oase HeatUp heater, allowing you to set and maintain a specific water temperature.

Troubleshooting

Heater not turning on

Verify the heater is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and that the filter is functioning correctly to power the module.

Water temperature is not reaching the set point

Check if the heater's wattage is appropriate for your aquarium size. Ensure the heater is correctly installed within the ThermoFit module and that the filter's flow is not hindering heater performance. Consult the heater's manual for specific performance guidelines.

Filter is making unusual noises after installation

Turn off and unplug the filter. Disassemble and reassemble the filter and ThermoFit module, ensuring all parts are correctly aligned and secured. Check for any obstructions.

Water leakage from the filter

Turn off and unplug the filter. Check all seals and connections between the filter body and the ThermoFit module. Ensure all O-rings and gaskets are properly seated and undamaged.
