Chihiros Cooling Fan

Chihiros Cooling Fan

The Chihiros Cooling Fan is a Bluetooth-controlled aquarium cooling fan that helps keep water temperature in a steady, comfortable range for freshwater and saltwater tanks up to 60 cm (24"). It suits hobbyists who need an economical way to take the edge off warm water, particularly through hot South African summers.

Key Benefits

• Moves a high volume of air across the water surface to encourage evaporation, which lowers water temperature economically.
• Three-speed wind control lets you tailor cooling intensity, capable of reducing water temperature by 2-4℃.
• Includes a temperature probe to gauge water temperature accurately.
• Built-in sensors measure room temperature and humidity, so you can see the wider environment around your aquarium.
• Bluetooth connectivity gives you control and customisation of settings through a mobile app, including an AUTO mode for more sophisticated management.
• Silent brushless motor in a durable aluminium alloy shell keeps operation quiet.
• IP55 protection level means it is built to withstand demanding aquarium conditions.
• Low, human-safe 9V operation keeps energy consumption down, and the coil placement minimises the risk of short circuits.

How to Use

• Fit the adjustable clamp onto the tank wall. It grips glass up to 19 mm (0.75") thick.
• Connect the supplied USB cable to a power source. A 5V3A plug is recommended for optimal performance.
• Pair the fan with the mobile app over Bluetooth and choose your fan speed or the AUTO mode.
• Place the temperature probe in the aquarium water so the fan can monitor the water temperature.

Important Note: This fan is controlled exclusively through the mobile app. The manual buttons on the fan are not functional.
