A great advantage of the aquarium external filter is that space is not wasted inside the aquarium. An aquarium external filter can easily be placed under or next to the aquarium. For an optimal positioning the hose connections on top of the cover are rotatable at 360°. The large container volume ensures a cleaning with very large filter volume. There is enough space for various filter media.
The SunSun Aquarium External Filter HW-302 can easily be connected to aquariums with a water volume of up to 400 liters. So the handling of large-sized aquariums is easy. The pump capacity is 1000 liters per hour. The aquarium external filter provides a high flow rate, however it works quietly. The rubber stands provide an optimal vibration damping.
The super quiet aquarium filter technique of the SunSun HW-302 aquarium external filter is suitable not only for freshwater aquariums but also saltwater aquariums.
The aquarium filter is delivered with filter media for the three filter stages. The filter baskets with their practical handles can be filled individually with the filter material. In this respect, please note that the filter material must be graded from coarse to fine. The above lying 1st filter stage, the so-called pre-filter retains coarse dirt efficiently and extends considerably the service life of the biological working filter material that is inserted in the filter stages beneath.
Filter Media:
The delivered filter material is considered as a standard equipment for your aquarium external filter.
Basically, from bottom to the top:
1.stage: mechanical / partly biological filtration
2.stage: biological filtration
3.stage: chemical filtration (activated carbon, turf, phosphate Ex etc.)
The 4 stage filters can be extended by a mechanical or biological filter stage, depending on the filtering requirements.
Ceramic Rings
Ceramic glass rings for the internal and external aquarium filters.The mechanically working filter media are mainly used for removing suspended particles. The ceramic rings cause a water turbulance in the filter basket due to their special form and large surface. By this suspended particles can accumulate during the descent and coarse dirt particles are removed from the water cycle.
This filter material creates optimal conditions for filter bacteria and reduce pollution through nitrite better than other filter materials.
Filter Wadding - Filter Fleece
Filter media like fleece, wadding or sponges are essential in modern aquaristics.
Coarse dirt particles are absorbed by filter wadding, sponges reduce the nitrate, clean the water of chemical impurities and provide ideal conditions for the settlement of filter bacteria.
Filter mats
Filter mats use structured material consisting of porous, phenol free foam.
With the water flow they retain coarse and finest particles mecanically. After a run-in-time bacteria accumulate in the tissue that provide intense biological contaminant purification. Scourable and reusable.
Bio Balls
Bio balls are used in aquaristics as mechanical and biological filter media. These balls offer bacteria a large surface for their accumulation and are considered to be high performance filter media for powerful filter systems. In contrast to other filter media, bio balls have a virtually unlimited life-cycle which makes them a popular and cheap filter medium for pond filter systems, trickle filters and chamber filters.
Activated Carbon - optional
Activated carbon is used in aquaristics to filtrate urea and humic substances, pesticides, metabolites and similar residues and to provide clean aquarium water. Additionally the ozone and the chlorine content of the water is reduced through the use of the activated carbon.
The activated carbon is particularly suitable for the pre-treatment of tap water, for water clouded with suspended particles and for filtering out residues after a medication treatment..
During a medication and algae treatment one should not use the activated carbon. However, after that water treatment the activated carbon is indispensable for removing remnants.
We recommend not to leave the activated carbon in the filter tray for a long period. After reaching the maximum absorption capacity it is possible that the bound contaminants are washed out and return into the aquarium water again.
When purchasing a new aquarium filter or after a complete cleaning, the helpful bacteria must accumulate again.
There are special bacterial working stocks that can be added to the aquarium filter, thus facilitating the start.
Operation:
After the insertion of the filter media, the aquarium external filter is filled with water. SunSun offers an excellent comfort, the ergonomic pump cylinder on the top of the external filter. For the filling of the filter container - and without irritating suction intake - you simply press the pump cylinder for several times. So the aquarium filter fills up with water caused by every pumping motion.
Cleaning:
The multi-function valve on the pump head has a quick disconnect coupling which separates the hoses from the filter container without emptying it before. The safety hose adapters on the valve, that are easy to lock, provide a high level of security against leakage. The flow rate is regulated by the multi-function valve.
Ventilation
The return hose is led into a clean bucket that is installed below the external filter.
To vent the external filter, the maximum possible flow rate must be adjusted. The manual pump has to be operated until there are no more air bubbles. Thereafter the filled hose is to be closed with one finger and to be re-installed on the return-piping on the edge of the aquarium.
Note:
Before the first operation the packaging of the filter materials has to be removed.
Be aware that only ONE wadding can be inserted into the filter at the same time.
