Description
A common problem in aquarium tanks is the unsightly film that forms on the surface of the water. It limits gas exchange, hinders light penetration, and spoils the appearance of the aquarium. On online forums dedicated to aquaristics, you can find several recurring tips on how to deal with this problem. Aquarists recommend, among other things, installing a rain bar along with a strong filter, or – as a temporary measure – collecting debris with a paper towel. However, the most effective and simplest solution is the installation of a surface filter.
Why should you choose our SAS Filter 500?
Crystal clear surface
The effectiveness of the SAS Filter 500 comes from its design. Water along with surface impurities flows through a float into the filter chamber. There, it is subjected to filtration. Impurities settle on a dense sponge pre-filter.
Energy-efficient and versatile
The SAS Filter 500 is equipped with an energy-efficient pump with high performance. This makes the device perfect even for large tanks (up to 500 liters). The device can also be used in smaller tanks. The water flow regulator allows you to easily adjust the filter's performance even in small aquariums starting from 20 liters.
Safe for the smallest inhabitants of the aquarium
The built-in sponge pre-filter protects against the accidental entry of shrimp and small fish into the motor compartment. Even if some aquarium resident gets inside the device, it can be safely freed by tilting the filter sleeve over the aquarium.
Easy to install and use
We have equipped the SAS Filter 500 with a maintenance-free float that automatically adjusts filtration to the changing water levels in the tank. You do not need to adjust the filter's operation daily. Installing it in the aquarium will not pose major problems. This is extremely simple thanks to the holder with suction cups, which ensures quick installation of the device and easy removal from the aquarium. The simple design also guarantees ease of cleaning and maintenance.
In what situations should you use the SAS Filter 500? We recommend using our skimmer especially in specific situations and types of tanks: After tank servicing – regular maintenance work in the aquarium (such as trimming plants) generates the formation of impurities on the water's surface. The skimmer will clean the tiniest remnants of stems or leaves without the need for tedious collection of pieces floating on the surface. In open tanks – the absence of a lid promotes the accumulation of layers of impurities and dust on the water's surface. The skimmer removes this problem, maintaining water cleanliness and better gas exchange. In aquariums with a high fish population – more animals in the aquarium means m.in. more uneaten food, which also accumulates on the surface of the water in the tank.
