The NEWA Duetto submersible filter, although small in size, guarantees complete filtering action:
- MECHANICAL: In the first stage, an efficiant pre-filter traps and holds suspended particulates
such as fish excrements, overfeeding, etc. It is removable and cleanable.
- BIOLOGICAL: In the second stage,bacterial colonies grow which convert toxic ammonia into
nitrites and afterwards nitrates.
- CHEMICAL ADSORBENT: In the third stage water is further purified by removal of dissolved
organic matter which eliminates bad smell and color.
The filtering elements of the three stages are separate, one from the other, allowing independent cleaning
and replacement of spare parts. Therefore, bacterial colonies can be permanently established and continue
biological filtration without disturbance.
The NEWA Duetto filter, thanks to its accurate, innovative, refined design, and its flattened shape, is
ideal for small and medium aquariums and tanks for turtle or other reptiles. The NEWA Duetto filter
has, in addition, a flow-adjustment device and a patented and efficient aeration system. In the "COMBI"
version, in combination with a NEWA Therm heater, it becomes a superb and independent thermo-
filtering station.
