Product details

The Hydor external filter for aquariums is a comprehensive filtration system designed for aquariums up to 450 liters, featuring a self-priming mechanism for reliable operation. This model is also suitable for turtle tanks and provides effective water purification in various aquatic environments. The system includes multiple filter media: sponges, rings, and filter wool, which work together to ensure optimal water quality. With a 25 W motor, it achieves a maximum flow rate of 1320 liters per hour and a maximum head height of 185 cm, ensuring thorough water circulation. The filter housing measures 18 cm in diameter and 44 cm in height, is made from durable materials, and has a gray finish. Important safety features include flood protection and sealing rings that prevent leaks, while adjustable, stable feet with scratch-resistant pads ensure a stable stand. Maintenance is simplified by removable pipes and a carrying handle for easy transport during cleaning. For optimal performance, regular maintenance involves removing lime and gravel deposits from the pre-filter and gently cleaning the rotor with a soft brush, avoiding solvents or aggressive cleaning agents. This filter emphasizes reliability and practical functionality, meeting the needs of aquarium enthusiasts seeking consistent filtration performance.
