I looked at the reviews on this product and they was mixed, but I purchased one anyway, brilliant, quiet and very easy to set up, I would advise to put the pipes in boiling water which make them pliable and easy to monouver, fill the cannister with tank water plug in and off you go, the seller was excellent and the product arrived the day after ordering, to sum up a very good experience

Great for the price!A little more awkward and louder than a Fluval external...but sooo much cheaper and it does the job!

Simple to set up, others have said it's noisy but I found that it is nice and quiet maybe they had a airlock in the top housing!

Ignore all the negative reviews they clearly didn't set it up properly....The instructions are not very clear but from a few helpful reviews I managed to figure out how to successfully prime the filter;When the filter is filled with aquarium water and the hoses are on the tank you make sure the lid is on tight and fully sealed by using some body weight to close it, after this you need to plug it in but only for a fraction of a second and you do this multiple times until theres absolutely zero air in the pipes and you're good to go! You can switch it on for a couple seconds and if its not silent turn it off again and repeat,I have had this running for 3 weeks with no noise at all,The filter foam that comes with it doesn't trap tiny particles so get some fine filter material,I had this on my 100l tank and it was doing a decent job other than the tiny floating particles, I've since upgraded this one as I had two fluval filters come with a tank I just boughtIf you have a tank bigger than 100l I would probably get something else,The flow is ok but I definitely expected more and for comparison the fluval 306 I just swapped this out for makes the whole tank literally swirl and I've turned it down!For the price it's good enough and I'll definitely be keeping it as a backup 👌

I have so much to say about this external filter. It's super easy to setup, i like how the lid gets sucked into position once sealed. I like how it's easily accessible to take parts out to fix. I like how it comes with all the filters that needs no replacement unless you want too. I like how easily cleanable the filters, filter pods, filtration unit, lid tubes water drainage, water sprayer is. I like that i can store this unit anywhere as i dont like units taking up space within my turts tank. The appearance is minimal though does look like a science experiment happening i sort of like it. Noise level of the unit is barely there. You'll feel it vibrate if your hand is on it but you wont hear anything unless you're clean water is sprouting out in your pond or tank. You can easily adjust the sound of your clean water flow. Quality of the unit is fare, though i do wish the motor part wasn't so easily rotatable. However no leakage or airblocks are found as the unit is in perfect order.5/5 satisfied only with one flaw i stated late above.

It was working fine for a few days until it started rattling horrendously. I requested a new pump under warranty which was sent out to me quickly but that started rattling after a few days aswell. It then occurred to me after checking that the cheaply made pump does not properly fit over the impeller shaft, causing the impeller to be unable to sit snug and not shake against the side causing an incredibly irritating noise. It got much worse though, they use cheap plastic parts for the entire filter meaning that at 1:00am the pump simply snapped off the filter housing causing half of my aquarium to drain out and on to the floor of my room. Do not buy as it may seem like a steal for the price but it’s not worth risking using the incredibly low quality plastic machinery

Great filter I needed a step up from my E150Now I have E150 pre filter & E250 biological filter both with 800L/H pumpworks great & silent

This replaces a smaller generic external filter for a 30 litre turtle tank. It’s officially way too powerful for the tank being rated for 250 litres.However turtles are a special kind of filth and need hugely powerful filtration. This delivers that in spades. The fittings were easy to use and secure to the tank. The suction cups were excellent. The supplied filtration sponges are doing their job along with the polish pad.The only thing I don’t like is plastic media for the biological component. These don’t work. Anaerobic or aerobic bacteria don’t grow on them despite surface area. So I’ll replace these with some ceramic tubes and I’ll have a perfect system.Perhaps all point solutions could stop cheaping out on such a small component. I’d pay slightly more for the unit if I knew I didn’t have to buy more things just to use it.It’s there than that. It’s a very good filter. Easy to prime. Easy to access and clean and as I said easily powerful enough.

Purtroppo non ha fatto una bella impressione dal momento che è arrivato con spina ad attacco americano e completamente unto all'interno, estremamente rumoroso, il rumore prodotto può essere paragonato a quello di un vibratore.. Per il resto funziona.
