Sicce SCUBA CTL Submersible Heater
Cutting-Edge Aquarium Heater Technology
- Built-in NFC Technology (no manual adjustment knob, only adjustable by a phone with NFC activated)
- Shatter-Resistant Glass
- On/Off Indicator Light
Sicce is taking aquarium heating to the next level with their Scuba Contactless heaters. These innovative heaters feature patented “contactless” temperature control, enabling simple adjustments and temperature checks through the free ContrAll app. You can adjust the temperature from 15°C to 35°C with an impressive precision of just ± 1°C.
Additionally, an energy-saving mode can be activated in the app, allowing for a stable temperature to be maintained while consuming only half the energy once the desired temperature is achieved.

It is important to note the absence of a control knob. This heater is the first aquarium heater to incorporate Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. This means you can connect the heater to your phone simply by holding it nearby. Just like you would pay for something using your phone at a restaurant, you hold your phone within 2 inches of the heater and tap to connect.
When you hold your phone within two centimeters of the Scuba Contactless, it will connect to Sicce’s growing CONTRALL ecosystem app, even if the heater has not been plugged in yet. From there, you can easily adjust the temperature. If you are already a Sicce SDC user, you will find that your Sicce Return Pump or Wave Pump also reads the water temperature. By connecting a Scuba Contactless to the app, all three devices can be calibrated to synchronize with each other, providing you with global updates and notifications on the water temperature in your fresh or saltwater tank.
With NFC, you can change the temperature in multiple ways: First, you can do it through the glass if your phone’s NFC chip is placed in a certain area of the phone. However, Sicce notes that not all phones can do this. Secondly, you can raise the heater slightly to the water line, hold your phone next to it, and tap. If you have a waterproof phone, you can even hold your phone next to the device and tap underwater! Please remember that this is NFC, not Wi-Fi, since Wi-Fi signals are blocked by water.
