Hygger Intelligent Canister Filter

Hygger Intelligent Canister Filter

The Hygger Intelligent Canister Filter is a self-priming external aquarium filter with an integrated UV light. It gives freshwater, saltwater and planted tanks mechanical, chemical and biological filtration in one canister. It suits aquarists who want clear water and simple maintenance without siphoning or manual priming.

Key Benefits

• Self-priming design: no siphoning, pumping or manual priming is needed to get the filter going.
• One-touch start button for quick, effortless setup.
• Resumes operation automatically if power is interrupted and then restored.
• Three stacking, large-capacity media trays handle mechanical, chemical and biological filtration quietly and efficiently.
• Customisable filtration: swap or rearrange the media to suit the needs of your particular tank.
• Integrated 7-watt UV bulb in a protective case helps tackle algae blooms and reduce cloudiness, so you may need fewer water changes.
• Quick inlet and outlet connect valve lets you adjust or stop the flow and attach or detach the hoses without lifting the canister out of its cabinet.
• Media basket with a handle pulls out easily for cleaning or replacing the media.

3-Stage Filtration

The canister holds three stacking media trays. The trays carry a foam pad, activated carbon and ceramic rings. Together they remove debris, polish the water and support beneficial bacteria. Because the media is not fixed, you stay in control of the filtration process and can adapt the set-up as your tank's requirements change.

UV Light for Clear Water

A 7-watt UV bulb sits inside a protective case and works alongside the filter media. It is aimed at algae blooms and cloudy water, helping keep the tank clear and clean for your fish and other aquatic pets.

How to Use

• Press the one-touch start button to begin self-priming. No siphoning, pumping or manual priming is required.
• Make sure the canister is properly sealed before running it.
• Make sure both the intake and the output are submerged underwater.
• Control the flow with the connect valve. Pull the valve up to stop the water, or pull it down for maximum flow.
• For maintenance, use the quick connect valve to shut off the hoses and disconnect them from the canister. The canister can stay in its cabinet. Then lift out the handled media basket to clean or replace the media.

Suitable For

• Freshwater aquariums
