Product information

Easy to use
Separate the floating internal element from the external element and place it on the water at the edge of the aquarium. Hold the external element close to the aquarium pane to attract the swimming part. Move the magnet from the outside with light circular movements over the aquarium pane surface. With the JBL FloatyBlade, straight movements are more useful to remove the algae deposits in "lanes".

Convenient to use
A protruding cleaning edge even allows access into hard-to-reach spots, such as behind technical devices. Reaches into corners easily without you getting your hands wet. With the blunt blade insert you even can remove very stubborn deposits (e.g. calcareous algae).

Gentle on the aquarium
The edge protection, patented by JBL, protects the silicone seams of the aquarium tank with the help of angled edges. The swimming internal element cannot fall into the gravel and cause trapped gravel stones to scratch the pane. There is no longer any need to “fish around” in the aquarium if the internal part becomes detached from the magnet.

What’s worth bearing in mind when cleaning your panes?
The glass aquarium panes are, in contrast to the plastic (acrylic/plexiglass) panes, harder than steel. This means they cannot be scratched with blades or metal pads. However, the gravel and sand in the aquarium is harder and can cause scratches if it gets between the cleaner and the glass. So be careful when you’re getting close to the ground with the glass cleaner.
The silicone seams of your aquarium are also at risk. Avoid damaging the silicone seams with pane cleaning blades. Use a care glove (JBL PROSCAPE CLEANING GLOVE) for cleaning these sensitive areas.

FAQ
Are the algae magnets also suitable for curved aquarium panes?

With curved panes, an algae magnet, such as the JBL FLOATY, cannot fully lie on the surface to clean the soiled areas effectively and powerfully. Only the edges of the FLOATY rest on the curved sections, making cleaning more difficult. Instead, we recommend using a cleaning glove (PROSCAPE CLEANING GLOVE), a blade cleaner (Aqua T-Handy) or the the glass pane cleaner (Blanki or WishWash).

Why does my JBL Floaty / algae magnet scratch the aquarium pane?

Scratched panes after using a glass cleaning magnet are always a sign of sand or gravel particles being caught between the inner parts of the magnet and the aquarium pane. The materials used for the JBL glass cleaning magnet are softer than the glass of the aquarium pane and cannot scratch it.

Video: JBL Floaty floating glass pane cleaner with magnet for clean panes

This aquarium glass pane cleaner is designed so that one part cleans the pane inside the aquarium while you move its magnetically connected outer part on the outer pane. Should the inner part lose contact, it floats to the water surface and you can simply use the magnetic outer part to re-engage it.

An algae magnet has never been more effective

At first glance, the floating magnet tends to appear unspectacular. It only has one blade for removing stubborn algae which is attached on the side.

Sehr starker Magnet echt empfehlenswert für große Becken

Ich habe diesen Scheibenmagnet jetzt im Einsatz, ich bin begeistert von der Kraft des Magneten, meine 15 mm dicken Scheiben sind für den Magnet ein Kinderspiel. Er ist beim reinigen nicht einmal abgegangen, und die Reinigungs Leistung ist super.

Kenne keinen besseren.

Super Teil.

Super Reinigungsleistung und die stumpfe Klinge macht das, was sie soll, ohne Schäden zu hinterlassen. Und schneiden kann man sich auch nicht daran.

Tolles Produkt, meine unbedingte Empfehlung 👍

Für mich ist es der beste Scheiben Magnet den ich bis jetzt hatte. Er schaft ganz easy auch härtere Verschmutzungen. Wenn man ihn benutzt vor dem Wasserwechsel spart man sich dann einfach beim Wasserwechsel die Scheibe Reinigung.

Der beste Scheiben Magnet den ich bisher hatte.

Sehr einfache Reinigung beim ersten wich ist eigentlich immer alles weg.

Auch die oberen Kalkränder gehen prima weg.

Durch der Versatz von Klinge oder Reinigungsfläche kommt man auch an schwer erreichbare stellen, wo ansonsten der Magnet stören würde.

Auch bei ruckhaften Bewegungen hält der Magnet bombenfest, er ist mir bisher nur sehr sehr selten schwimmen gegangen bei meiner Reinigungsarbeit.

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.

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).
