The
AquaClear Power Filter represents one of the most versatile hang-on filter systems available. Five models provide a complete selection of flow rates for most popular sizes of aquariums. Contact time with the AquaClear filter system is maximized due to the innovative re-circulation grid and multifilter media stacking. The re-circulation grid allows water to be passed through filter media more than once when slower flow rate adjustments are selected, allowing superior contact time and significantly contributing to water quality.
AquaClear Power Filters* - provide both mechanical and biological filtration for any size aquarium.

AquaClear Filter
systems incorporate the exclusive CycleGuard Insert System which ensures that all filtration requirements are fulfilled by providing three distinct filter media. This ensures continuous biological filtration as one insert is replaced at a time, while the remaining filter media supports the re-establishment of essential bacteria (along with a dose of Cycle). |

AquaClear Foam Insert *, fulfills the following functions:
- Particulate debris removal and optimal water distribution patterns, allowing subsequent filter media to perform at full efficiency.
- Biological filtration, due to the porous structure of foam, providing surfaces for beneficial bacteria.
