DESCRIPTION

For unsightly dross

A common problem in aquarium tanks is bacterial dross forming on the water surface. It restricts gas exchange, impedes light penetration and spoils the appearance of the aquarium. Online aquarium forums offer several recurring tips on how to deal with bacterial dross. Among other things, aquarists recommend installing a rain shower along with a strong filter – or ad hoc – collecting the dirt with a paper towel. However, they point to the installation of a surface filter as the most effective and simplest solution.

Why choose SAS 500 filter?

EFFECTIVE
The effectiveness of SAS 500 filter is due to its design. Water along with surface impurities enters the filter chamber through the float, where it is filtered. The impurities settle on the dense sponge prefilter, which must be cleaned regularly to constantly maintain the effect of a clean water surface in the aquarium.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT AND VERSATILE
SAS FILTER 500 is equipped with an energy-saving pump with high efficiency, which makes the device perfect for large tanks (up to 500 liters). The water flow regulator allows you to easily adjust the performance of the filter also for small aquarium tanks, even 20 liters.

SAFE FOR THE SMALLEST AQUARIUM INHABITANTS
The built-in sponge prefilter prevents shrimps and small fish from accidentally entering the motor chamber. If an aquarium inhabitant gets inside the device, it can be safely released by tilting the filter sleeve over the aquarium.

EASY TO INSTALL AND USE
SAS FILTER 500 is equipped with a maintenance-free float that will automatically adjust the filtration to the changing water levels in the tank. So you don’t have to adjust the filter daily. The only thing you need to take care of is installing the device in the aquarium. This is extremely easy thanks to the bracket with suction cups, which ensures quick installation of the device and smooth removal from the aquarium. The simple design, in turn, guarantees easy cleaning and maintenance.

Especially recommended:
– in open tanks – which, due to the lack of a cover, promote the deposition of a layer of dirt on the surface of the water.
– after servicing the tank – cyclic maintenance work in the aquarium (such as trimming vegetation) generates the formation of dirt on the water surface.
– in aquariums with a large fish population – more animals in the aquarium means, among other things, more uneaten food, which – like dust and small plant debris – is deposited on the water surface of the tank.

Complementarity

SAS 500 Filter ideally complements aquarium filtration systems with Aquael filters such as Ultramax, Ultra or Unifilter UV-C.
The product contains small or moving parts that may pose a hazard.
