SunSun HW-302 Aquarium Filter

Ideal for larger or heavily-stocked aquariums, Canister Filters offer superior filtration. They are suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, and maximize filtering capacity by utilizing their large filter body. Fish enthusiasts who maintain large aquariums turn to canister filters for superior mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration.

Canister style external filters provide a greater quantity of filter materials and offer a high degree of flexibility. Water enters the canister, filled with the chosen filter material, through an intake pipe at the bottom of the canister. It then passes through the material and is returned to the aquarium through the return pipe. A pump inside the canister forces the water to circulate through the filter.

One of the advantages of external canister filters is that they provide a high volume of filter material without reducing the internal space in the aquarium. Additionally, they can be disconnected from the tank for cleaning or maintenance, and replaced without disturbing the aquarium's interior or occupants.

The package content of canister filters for aquariums typically includes 3 media trays capable of handling your choice of filtration media, as well as an adjustable spray bar. This feature is helpful if you want to adjust the output flow from the filter. The filters also come with a convenient self-priming pump that eliminates the need for manual siphoning, and a single valve disconnect and priming pump to ease routine maintenance.

Using high water pressure from a properly powered pump, canister filters force water through dense filter media. The pump can draw water from an under-gravel filter and run it into a canister for double filtration. These filters provide quiet and efficient filtration for both fresh and saltwater aquariums, making them great for use in living rooms, offices, or bedrooms.
