Water care and filterung

Whether large or small amounts of water - they become stale and unhealthy with an increasing germ count. Consequently drinking bowls need fresh water on a daily basis. As tap water often contains substances, such as heavy metals or chlorine, a special water conditioner, like JBL Biotopol T , will help you to make your tap water drinkable for your terrarium animals.

Unfortunately crawling food animals often drown in the drinking bowl, leading to a high organic load in the water. JBL has therefore integrated a "rescue ladder" for feeder animals in the JBL ReptilBar GREY drinking bowls.

The situation is very different for larger bathing bowls or water sections, as needed for turtles or large lizards. Here a separate water filtration is not only useful, but absolutely necessary. You have the choice between internal and external filters. With internal filters the entire filter (e.g. JBL CRISTALPROFI i100 greenline ) is situated inside the water container - only the power cable needs to be fed out of the terrarium. For external filters, (e.g. JBL CRISTALPROFI e402 greenline ) the filter container is outside the terrarium. However, a water inlet and an outlet hose need to be fed from the filter to the terrarium. The advantage is the better accessibility of the filter for cleaning. The disadvantages are the water-carrying hoses in the terrarium.

Specifying exact cleaning intervals is difficult because a lot of factors, such as filter size (not pump performance!), dirt accumulation etc., can influence the need to clean greatly. A rough guide is 2-4x weekly in internal filters and 8x in external filters. Since the filter materials inside break down pollutants biologically, an inoculation with a bacterial starter ( JBL FilterStart ) is advised. If it comes to unpleasant odours in the water sections of the terrarium, a special bacterial preparation ( JBL EasyTurtle ) can help.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
