AquaClear 50 Power Filter, Fish Tank Filter for 20- to 50-Gallon Aquariums (Packaging may vary)

Product Description

The AquaClear 50 Power Filter features a unique multi-stage filtration system that provides complete mechanical, chemical, as well as biological filter media for superior water quality. The Power Filter has a filtration volume that is up to 7 times larger than comparable filters. It also allows superior contact time with AquaClear filter media. Its unique waterfall design enables filtered water to return to the tank silently, gently breaking the surface tension and creating beneficial oxygenation. The Power Filter’s patented flow control feature allows you to adjust the water flow according to your aquarium needs. The media basket prevents water from by-passing the filter media, maximizing filtration efficiency. Installation and maintenance are quick, easy, and convenient. Fill Power Filter case completely with water and replace cover. Adjust water flow control lever on intake “U” tube to its maximum position for initial start-up. Plug power cord into electrical outlet. Allow 30-45 seconds for priming (air to be expelled from “U” tube.) After priming has been completed, move adjustment control on intake “U” tube to adjust water flow rate as required. If the priming process doesn’t occur, verify that all parts are installed correctly, filter case is completely filled with water, unit is plugged into power outlet, and ensure “U” tube lever is set to maximum position. The filter comes equipped with AquaClear Foam, Activated Carbon Filter and AquaClear BioMax. AquaClear offers an extensive line of media, including Zeo-Carb and Ammonia Remover, exclusively designed for the AquaClear 50 Power Filter. AquaClear creates a wide variety of products for freshwater tanks that can be used as fish tank accessories, fish tank decorations, and aquarium filter media that is perfect for large and small fish tanks. The AquaClear 50 Power Filter is ideal for 20- to 50-gallon (76 to 190 L) fish tanks. Maximum Output: 200 U.S. Gal./h (757 L/h).

Patented Re-filtration System

Sometimes delicate fish and plants require a more gentle water flow. The patented AquaClear re-filtration system allows you to control the flow rate without compromising filtration efficiency. When the flow rate is reduced, up to 50% of the water within the filter chamber is processed multiple times.

CycleGuard Multi-Stage Filtration System

Provides optimal mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. A healthy aquarium requires “beneficial” bacteria. Invisible and harmless, beneficial bacteria are essential in the removal of toxic ammonia and nitrite. With cartridge filtration systems, when you throw away the cartridge, you throw away beneficial bacteria. It can take weeks for the bacteria to re-colonize, resulting in a stressful environment.

Typical Filter Media Placement:

Bottom

AquaClear Foam Insert, which does the following: 1. Helps with debris removal and provides optimal water distribution patterns, allowing subsequent filter media to perform at full efficiency. 2. Biological filtration, due to the porous structure of foam, providing surfaces for beneficial bacteria.

Middle

AquaClear Activated Carbon Filter Inserts contain 100% premium research grade carbon. Premium research grade carbon provides large amounts of surface area for adsorption of undesirable impurities.

Top

AquaClear BioMax Filter Inserts contain BioMax ceramic rings. The surface of BioMax is made up of a complex pore system that allows bacteria to thrive.

Power Filter Maintenance

• For maximum filter operation and efficiency, regular cleaning of the filter and its parts is recommended every two weeks.
• Always unplug the Aquaclear Power Filter prior to cleaning.
• First you want to remove the cover, filter basket, and discard water remaining in the filter case. Thoroughly rinse collected debris from the case, impeller cover and impeller assembly using clear lukewarm water.
• Then intake “U” tube and extension tube can be cleaned with a filter stem brush to remove any build-up of deposits.
• When all parts have been cleaned and thoroughly rinsed, reassemble filter and replace any scheduled media. Install the filter once again back on the aquarium making sure that the filter is tipped slightly forward.
• Then fill the AquaClear filter box with aquarium water. Finally plug the filter into an electrical outlet and the AquaClear will self-prime and begin running in a few seconds.
