Design and operation
The filter cleans the water in an aquarium. The filter
case is positioned outside the aquarium. It is
connected by a hose to a water intake pipe on the
inside of the aquarium. The water which is drawn into
the filter case passes through various filter materials,
each of which removes specific dirt particles. The
filter materials clean the water by biological, chemical
and physical means. Then the cleaned water passes
through a hose to the flow return pipe and flows back
into the aquarium through spray bars.
