Klir V1 Single Sensor Magnetic Mount
SKU: CV-KLIR-MAG-BRK
- 100% Genuine OEM Factory Accessory: Distributed directly by CoralVue as an exact structural fitment match for first-generation cylindrical single-eye optical sensors.
- Remote Custom Placement Bracket: Frees your infrared sensor from the fixed frame tracking slots, allowing you to position the sensor anywhere inside your sump chamber.
- Hermetically Sealed Magnet Core: Fully encased in an impermeable, injection-molded polymer shell that prevents saltwater corrosion and rust creep.
- Heavy-Duty Clamping Holding Force: Optimized to easily lock through aquarium glass, acrylic baffles, and plastic sump walls up to 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) thick.
- Reef-Safe and Chemically Inert: Free of toxic resins or metal exposures, ensuring it will not alter your water chemistry or disrupt your protein skimmer.

Klir by CoralVue provides automatic fleece filters that replace filter socks. They automatically advance 50-micron fleece when dirty, maintaining clear water with less maintenance.
Klir Automatic Fleece Filter Single IR Eye Sensor Magnetic Mount Bracket (SKU: CV-KLIR-MAG-BRK)
The Klir Automatic Fleece Filter Single IR Eye Sensor Magnetic Mount Bracket (SKU: CV-KLIR-MAG-BRK) is an authentic structural OEM mounting accessory distributed by CoralVue to maximize installation flexibility and prevent critical level-tracking failures inside your aquarium sump. Automatic drop-in roller filters serve as a highly efficient substitute for traditional cloth socks, continuously advancing a 50-micron fleece roll across the drain path to capture suspended particulates before they can decay into algae-fueling nutrients. While later V2 models transitioned to fully integrated multi-sensor blocks, legacy first-generation systems rely on a single, cylindrical infrared (IR) optical eye prism to track rising water lines. This remote magnetic bracket is specifically designed to house that single sensor eye, providing an incredibly secure, stable mount that handles high-humidity equipment areas with ease.
Engineered to strict factory parameters, the CV-KLIR-MAG-BRK features a custom-molded clip channel that snaps firmly around the barrel of the original single sensor eye. If your original mount cracked during maintenance, lost its grip, or went missing during a system move, your sensor will fall into the deep sump water—triggering constant motor runs and wasting entire fleece rolls. Dropping in this standalone factory original wet-side and dry-side magnetic pair instantly restores your setup, allowing you to position your optical eye at the perfect operating line along any internal sump baffle.
Key Features
Prevents Dynamic Level Creep: Holds the single optical eye perfectly plumb and steady, eliminating sensor rotation or floating wires.
Saves Functioning Electronics: Enables operators to replace damaged or lost mounting hardware without throwing away a perfectly good electronic wire harness.
Simplifies Custom Sump Setups: Perfect for aquarists running DIY sump layouts or highly turbulent water chambers where custom height tuning is mandatory.
(Note: This retail SKU contains (1) standalone magnetic remote bracket assembly. The electronic infrared single-eye optical sensor, V1 controller modules, motorized filter frames, and replacement fleece rolls are sold under separate product categories).

- Unplug your automatic fleece roller or top-off electronic smart controller from the wall outlet to prevent any accidental motor cycles during maintenance.
- Slide your original cylindrical single IR eye sensor barrel into the receiving C-shaped clip channel of the CV-KLIR-MAG-BRK wet-side bracket until it snaps firmly into place.
- Use a soft cloth soaked in warm white vinegar to thoroughly clean the section of sump glass where you intend to place the sensor, removing all hard algae and salt creep.
- Position the wet-side bracket with the sensor face pointing directly toward the active water volume at your desired operating height line.
- Bring the external dry-side magnet up on the opposite side of the glass to lock the bracket firmly into position.
- Check that the sensor face is completely free of trapped air bubbles, plug your controller back into the wall outlet, and press the manual advance button to verify a successful test cycle.
Pro Tips:
- Always Lift and Place the Magnets Directly into Position to Stop Acrylic Scratches. When positioning this high-strength neodymium replacement bracket on an acrylic sump panel, never slide the magnet across the plastic surface. If a tiny grain of sand or a hard flake of salt creep gets trapped beneath the hard polymer casing, sliding it will dig deep, unsightly scratches into the wall. These scratches can cloud the plastic, disrupting the infrared light beam and causing tracking errors. Always lift and place the assembly directly where you want it.
- Flick Trapped Micro-Bubbles Off the Optical Prism to Prevent False Runtime Cycles. Because this magnetic bracket allows you to mount your sensor anywhere in the sump, avoid placing it directly under crashing drain lines or near a protein skimmer's micro-bubble output. High turbulence can trap tiny bubbles on the face of the optical eye. If a micro-bubble settles directly over the infrared prism, it will fool the controller into thinking the water line has risen, causing your motor to roll continuously and empty a fresh roll of fleece in a single day.
- Do Not Confuse This Single Mount with the Newer V2 Multi-Sensor Array. When organizing your store's part bins or updating database inventory, verify that this is marked for the single-eye sensor. The CV-KLIR-MAG-BRK is a compact, rounded clip designed explicitly for legacy systems using the narrow cylindrical single-eye sensor wire. If you are servicing a newer V2 filter system that uses the flat, square block-style triple sensor, this bracket will not fit. For those systems, you will need to source the square-pocket Klir Triple Level Sensor Magnet (SKU: CV-KLIR-ATO-MAG) instead.
