AquaClear Filter

The AquaClear Power Filter represents one of the most versatile hang-on filter systems available. The five models available provide a complete selection of flow rates for the most popular sizes of aquariums. The filter’s unique design allows for up to six times more media volume and the longest water to media contact time in the industry. The AquaClear flow control will reduce the flow by up to 50% without harming the filters motor or impeller. The AquaClear filter media system includes the patented, innovative re-circulation grid and multi-filter media stacking. The re-circulation grid allows water to be passed through filter media more than once when slower flow rate adjustments are selected, allowing superior contact time and significantly contributing to water quality.



Patented Re-filtration System

For a healthy aquarium and clear water

Sometimes delicate fish and plants require a more gentle water flow. The patented AquaClear re-filtration system allows you to control the flow rate without compromising filtration efficiency. When the flow rate is reduced, up to 50% of the water within the filter chamber is processed multiple times. More impurities are filtered out, creating a healthier tank with sparkling clean and clear water.

AquaClear Power Filters - provide both mechanical and biological filtration for any size aquarium.


AquaClear Filter

The AquaClear Filter incorporates the exclusive Cycle Guard System which includes the BioMax Ceramic media insert. By incorporating BioMax Ceramic media, the AquaClear filter Cycle Guard System ensures that all filtration requirements are fulfilled by providing three distinct filter media. This also ensures continuous biological filtration as one insert is replaced at a time, while the remaining filter media supports the re-establishment of essential bacteria.

How It Works

The AquaClear Power Filter draws water from the aquarium through an extension tube into the motor which then pumps water out of the impeller assembly. The intake "U" tube directs the flow of unfiltered water through filter inserts to trap particles, debris, and purify the water.

CycleGuard Multi-Stage Filtration System
Provides optimal mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration

AquaClear Filter
A healthy aquarium requires "beneficial" bacteria. Invisible and harmless, beneficial bacteria are essential in the removal of toxic ammonia and nitrite. With cartridge filtration systems, when you throw away the cartridge, you throw away beneficial bacteria. It can take weeks for the bacteria to re-colonize, resulting in a stressful environment. The AquaClear multi-stage filtration system is different. Only one of three filtration components is changed at a time. This ensures that significant amounts of beneficial bacteria remain. There is never a sudden depletion of bacteria, so biological filtration remains at highly effective levels.

Typical Filter Media Placement:

Bottom

AquaClear Foam Insert, which does the following:
1. Helps with debris removal and provides optimal water distribution patterns, allowing subsequent filter media to perform at full efficiency.
2. Biological filtration, due to the porous structure of foam, providing surfaces for beneficial bacteria.

Middle
AquaClear Activated Carbon Filter Inserts contain 100% premium research grade carbon. Premium research grade carbon provides large amounts of surface area for adsorption of undesirable impurities. The Activated Carbon Filter Inserts will remove unwanted odors, discoloration and impurities resulting in a crystal clear aquarium. AquaClear Carbon filter inserts provide more than five times the carbon found in most single cartridge clip on filter systems. This level of carbon will provide optimal water clarity in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

Top
AquaClear BioMax Filter Inserts contain BioMax ceramic rings. The surface of BioMax is made up of a complex pore system that allows bacteria to thrive. Use of the BioMax Filter Insert will provide optimal living space for beneficial bacteria and enhance the removal of ammonia and nitrites resulting in a healthy aquarium environment.

Power Filter Maintenance

For maximum filter operation and efficiency, regular cleaning of the filter and its parts is recommended every two weeks. Always unplug the Aquaclear Power Filter prior to cleaning. First you want to remove the cover, filter basket, and discard water remaining in the filter case. Thoroughly rinse collected debris from the case, impeller cover and impeller assembly using clear lukewarm water. The intake "U" tube and extension tube can be cleaned with a filter stem brush to remove any buildup of deposits. When all parts have been cleaned and thoroughly rinsed, reassemble filter and replace any scheduled media. Install the filter once again back on the aquarium making sure that the filter is tipped slightly forward. Then fill the AquaClear filter box with aquarium water. Finally plug the filter into an electrical outlet and the AquaClear will self-prime and begin running in a few seconds.

Media Replacement
AquaClear Foam Filter Insert: Replace Foam Filter Insert every two months.
AquaClear Activated Carbon Filter Insert: Replace Activated Carbon Insert every month.
AquaClear BioMax Filter Insert: Replace BioMax Insert every three months

Warranty
The AquaClear Power Filters are guaranteed against defects in material or workmanship under normal aquarium usages and service for as long as you own the filter. We offer a Lifetime Guarantee on all non-replaceable parts which means that the filter will be repaired or replaced at the manufactures discretion, free of charge, when the complete pump is returned with proof of purchase and postage paid. Please include $5.00 to cover shipping and handling. This warranty does not apply to any filter that has been subjected to misuse, negligence or tampering. No liability is assumed with respect to loss or damage to livestock or personal property irrespective of the cause thereof.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Power Filters in the Market, August 9, 2006
By 
This review is from: AquaClear 50 Power Filter - 110 V, UL Listed (Includes AquaClear 50 Carbon, AquaClear 50 Foam & AquaClear 50 BioMax (Misc.)
The Aquaclear power filters are the best in the market. These filters provide a HUGE surface area for an efficient biological treatment of the aquarium water. I own four of these filters and have been running continuously for more than three years! They are extremely quiet. I have experienced only two problems with these filters. First, the filters drain into the aquarium during power outages and will not restart on their own. Second, if not cleaned frequently the foam blocks will be pushed upwards and displace the cover. Overall, these are great filters and I would not replace them for another power filter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, August 17, 2006
This review is from: AquaClear 50 Power Filter - 110 V, UL Listed (Includes AquaClear 50 Carbon, AquaClear 50 Foam & AquaClear 50 BioMax (Misc.)
I use this in my 29 gallon, and the filter is excellent. The best part about it is the ability to control the amount of water brought in. It is also very quiet. However, when the power goes out and comes back on, it won't begin working again. You must add water to it to get it up and running. This has been a problem when I've gone on vacation and I've come home to cloudy water. The refills are also pretty expensive, and can get a bit messy. It's all worth it, though. It keeps my tank in nice condition. :)

These are by far the best filters I have ever used. I have had aquariums for approx. 23 years, and these filters are so easy to maintain. They do a great job.
