New Budget Aquael Aquarium Filters

Posted By : Guest

AQUAEL has launched a revolutionary new line of budget internal aquarium filters which will be available in South Africa towards the end of June 2015. The ASAP filters with affordable pricing between R200 and R350 will combine high performance and great usability features with a clever design that reduces the time required to do maintenance on your aquarium.

The ASAP internal filters consists of a motor that uses very little electricity and placed in a stylish housing and a large transparent filter bowl filled with carefully chosen filtration sponge. The sponge is quickly populated by beneficial bacteria, so water passing through the filter undergoes biological as well as mechanical filtration. Thanks to this, your aquarium water remains clean and safe for your aquarium inhabitants.

The filter requires two basic types of maintenance procedures. One consists in removing the filter bowl and replacing it with a new one (Aquael offers standard cartridges as well as cartridges with activated carbon or phosphate absorber to prevent the growth of algae). The other involves the rinsing of filtration sponge in water drained from the tank. This operation can be performed without the need to remove the entire filter from the aquarium tank, which is very convenient and significantly reduces maintenance time.

The new ASAP internal filters are also ideally suited for use in aquaterrariums, since they can operate in shallow water as little as 5 centimetres deep. In addition, they effectively oxygenate water in the tank by causing strong water surface agitation.

There are three models of the filter available, with a capacity of 300, 500, and 700 l/h correspondingly. They are designed for use in aquarium tanks with capacities ranging from a few dozen to 250 litres. Thanks to their functional properties, these filters can be used by beginning and experienced aquarists alike.
