Sun Sun HW-303B Canister Filter plus 9W UV LAMP 1400l/h

Sun Sun HW-303B Canister Filter plus 9W UV LAMP 1400l/h

The Sun Sun HW-303B Canister Filter plus 9W UV LAMP 1400l/h is an external aquarium filter that combines biological, mechanical and chemical filtration with a built-in ultraviolet sterilizer. Its large media capacity and three-basket layout suit aquarists with larger-volume tanks who want to free up space inside the aquarium.

Key Benefits

• Multi-stage filtration: tank water passes through three internal layered baskets filled with assorted filter media, giving thorough biological, mechanical and chemical filtration.
• Built-in UV sterilizer: passing water is exposed to ultraviolet light that kills, sterilizes or otherwise irreparably damages many micro-organisms.
• Quartz glass sleeve: the UV light is sealed inside a quartz glass sleeve designed to let the maximum amount of UV pass through the water, while the water is pumped slowly past it.
• Spray bar outlet: the outlet tube is fitted with a spray bar to help increase oxygen aeration levels in your tank.
• Space-saving external design: the filter sits outside the aquarium, so the tank interior stays free, and the huge internal capacity leaves plenty of room for filter media.
• Customisable media: three flexible, easy-access media trays make it simple to tailor your media choices to your aquarium and fish livestock.
• Simple maintenance: a drip-free shut-off tap lets you disconnect the filter and carry it away from the tank to a more suitable spot for cleaning.

How to Use

• Water is drawn from the aquarium into the filter through the inlet tube, passes through the layered media baskets and the UV sterilizer, then returns to the tank through the outlet tube and spray bar.
• Both the inlet tube and outlet tube are supplied.
• To clean, use the drip-free shut-off tap to remove the filter from the aquarium and move it to a suitable cleaning area.
• Each media basket lifts smoothly out of the unit. Rinse it through and return it so the filter can continue operating.

Media Options

The three media trays can hold other filtration media, including SunSun activated carbon, ceramic rings or bio-balls. Extra media is available in separate listings. Filter matting is the only media included with the filter. Ceramic rings, activated carbon and bio media are sold separately.

Suitable For

• Larger-volume aquariums that need a high-capacity external filter.
