PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
For unsightly sheepskin coat

A common problem in aquarium tanks is a bacterial scum forming on the water surface. It limits gas exchange, hinders light penetration and spoils the appearance of the aquarium. On Internet forums devoted to aquaristics, you can find several repeated tips on how to deal with bacterial scab. Aquarists recommend, among other things, installing a sprinkler with a strong filter or temporarily collecting dirt with a paper towel. However, they indicate the installation of a surface filter as the most effective and simplest solution.

Why choose SAS FILTER 500?

EFFECTIVE

The effectiveness of SAS FILTER 500 is due to its design. Water along with surface impurities goes through the float to the filter chamber, where it is filtered. Contaminants settle on the dense sponge pre-filter, which should be cleaned regularly to maintain the effect of a clean water surface in the aquarium.

ENERGY SAVING AND UNIVERSAL

SAS FILTER 500 is equipped with an energy-saving, high-performance pump, thanks to which the device is perfect for large tanks (up to 500 liters). The water flow regulator allows you to easily adjust the filter’s efficiency also to small aquarium tanks, even 20 liters.

SAFE FOR THE SMALLEST AQUARIUM INHABITANTS

The built-in sponge prefilter protects against accidental entry of shrimps and small fish into the engine compartment. If an aquarium inhabitant ends up inside the device, it can be safely released by tilting the filter sleeve over the aquarium.

EASY TO INSTALL AND USE

SAS FILTER 500 is equipped with a maintenance-free float that will automatically adjust filtration to changing water levels in the tank. So you don’t have to adjust the filter every day. The only thing you need to take care of is installing the device in the aquarium. This is extremely simple thanks to the holder with suction cups, which ensures quick installation of the device and efficient removal of it from the aquarium. The simple design guarantees ease of cleaning and maintenance.

Particularly recommended:

in open tanks – which, due to the lack of a cover, favor the deposition of a layer of pollutants on the water surface.
after tank service – cyclical maintenance work in the aquarium (such as trimming vegetation) generates contaminants on the water surface.
in aquariums with a large number of fish – more animals in the aquarium include, among others: more uneaten food, which – just like dust and small plant remains – is deposited on the surface of the tank water.
