FLUVAL STATE-OF-THE ART TECHNOLOGY
AquaStop Valve
Fluval's exclusive AquaStop valve offers unparalleled convenience
and ease of use. It creates an air- and watertight seal that allows you
to disconnect the hosing without breaking the vacuum that keeps
air out of the line. This means you can open the filter cover for
routine maintenance and then start the system up again, with no
need for priming. To stop the flow of water—instantly and
completely—simply lift the AquaStop valve lever all the way up.
During filtration, you can also use the AquaStop valve lever to
regulate water flow, without harming the motor or its components.
Motor
The Fluval motor is hermetically sealed to ensure reliable operation. It requires no coolant and can
be placed in a closed cabinet (where airflow is restricted) with no adverse impact on its performance
or operating lifespan. There are no moving parts, except for the impeller.
Foam Screen Frame
The screen frame contains two thick layers of replaceable foam
blocks to provide a highly efficient initial stage of mechanical
filtration. The large surface area of the foam captures particulate
waste, which will be either be broken down or held. This prevents
clogging of biological and chemical media and enhances overall
filter effectiveness.
Intake Strainer
The intake strainer has a clog-proof, wide-mouth design to
ensure steady rapid siphoning.
Output Nozzle
The output nozzle delivers a continuous flow of purified water.
By disbursing water in a strong, wide flow it creates an agitation
effect that helps break down wastes and keeps them in
suspension until they can be siphoned away by the intake
strainer. The more solids that are kept afloat, the fewer settle, for
cleaner, healthier aquarium surfaces.
