AllPondSolutions 1400L/H + 9W UV Aquarium External Filter 1400EF+

Tanks approaching 600 Litres need more media than any internal filter can carry, and they need help with green water too. The 1400EF+ from AllPondSolutions covers both: a 1400 Litres per Hour external canister with a built-in 9w UV system, filtering through a series of distinct filter materials held in separate layered baskets so biological, mechanical and chemical filtration each get their own stage.

Mechanically it works on the same principle as an internal powerhead filter, but it lives outside the tank. Water is drawn in through an inlet tube and pushed back through an outlet tube fitted with a spray bar, which increases aeration within the tank. Nothing unsightly sits inside the display, and the media capacity is far greater than an internal unit can offer - which is precisely why this style of filter suits much larger tanks.

Run on the supplied media and you will see a much improved level of waste-free water, strong biological purification and active control of your water characteristics. The layered basket system is easy to reach into, so customising your media choices around your aquarium and livestock needs is straightforward.

The built-in UV steriliser exposes passing water to lethal doses of ultraviolet light, killing, sterilising or otherwise irreparably damaging many micro-organisms. Water is pumped slowly past the UV light, which is sealed inside a quartz glass sleeve designed to let the maximum amount of UV reach the water.

Maintenance is very easy. The drip free shut off tap lets you move the filter away from the aquarium to an area better suited to cleaning. Each media basket lifts easily out of the unit, rinses over a sink or similar and returns to the filter to continue its operation.
