Product Description: |
 The System 1 Pressure Filter by Aquarium Products® is a unique, tank-mounted water filtration and short-term water "polishing" system, and may be used in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
With no hoses or valves to adjust, System 1 polishes water by moving it through a diatomaceous earth (DE) filter surrounded by Preemo-Clean, a super-fine DE medium that works with the DE Filter to remove particles as small as one micron - it even removes harmful bacteria. You can also add carbon to the DE filter.
System 1 may also be used with an optional universal cartridge to provide continuous filtration using any media. |

Product Specifications: |
Includes: Large jar, diatom cartridge, and one bag of Preemo Clean Diatomaceous Earth. Hangs on back of tank, fits most aquariums, and is easily adjusted. Includes 6 ft. cord. 300 gph filtration capacity. |

"Excelent performance, ease of use." |
Excellent filter, quite versatile and is easy to move from tank to tank, as the filter is self priming and doesn't require anything but putting the intake below the surface of the water, and turning it on. Easy to clean up and charge with fresh D/E. Polishes water with excellent results, but also can clean out a cloudy tank. The pressurized "Jar" that contains the filter element is no longer glass, they replaced it with a larger plastic container/Jar; the change was to simplify the installation by eliminating mounting brackets that hold the filter away from the outside glass and prevent glass on glass contact. I have noticed that one must tighten the plastic jar with sufficient torque to prevent leakage around the seal. This will make it difficult to unscrew, you may need to use rubber gloves or something else grippy when unscrewing the jar. The motor gets quite hot. The duty cycle is 4 hours w/ :45 min rest, however I wonder if the motor was equipped with a more aggressive internal venting fan, or external heat sinks, 4hr may be extended to something longer. The drive is 2 pullies and a rubber belt. I have not owned any other DE filters, however I can't imagine an easier filter to use. I have over-stocked tanks, and this new System 1 Pressure Filter allows me yet another tool to keep my tanks very clean. Since I have started using this filter, in addition to my other tank cleaning and maintenance routines, I have had an increase in spawning. Happy fish |
