A big disappointment

by

This filter drove me crazy. I used a Filstar for years, but then I upgraded to this one because my tank was larger. Everything about it seemed cheap, and it quickly justified that opinion. The seals in the bottom actually started leaking for me - so I had to get rid of it. I always had problems on restarts too - always seemed to have air in the system so it made lots of noise. The clips broke off with very little effort. This was not what I expected and it was not what I experienced with the Filstar.

Amazing

by

I've had this filter running for about 8 months now. I haven't ran into any issues with mine at all. Great job Marineland.

Won't buy again

It is difficult to get water flow going. Had this filter for two years now, the pump button sticks and now leaks. It is noisy sometimes.

The best Filter

by

I have had this filter running on my tank for 5 years. I have had zero problems with it. It is by far the most silent filter of any type I have ever used. I had a few questions when I first bought it and the MArineland customer service was the best and actually did a follup email several weeks later to make sure all was OK.
The best filter I've ever had.

trouble getting it started again

by

like the flow of water but what good is it when the primer to get water to the pump is stuck took apart still won't prime anyone have this trouble don't want to throw away but what good is it very frustrated

great filter

by

Works well...a little TOO well. Once it was established, it does a great job. Priming is a little tricky, so what I did was install the canister top then fill it with tank water before installing the valve block. That way you don't need to use the primer. Once filled, insert and lock down the valve block and power it on. Just run for 10 seconds and power off for 5, then on and off again until all the air is evacuated. It IS on the noisy side, but once inside a cabinet, it's fine. ONLY suggestion I'd make is to get a spraybar for it. Output is a bit...enthusiastic.

GREAT FLTER AWEFULL TO CLEAN

by

I purchase this filter about a year ago and it filters the water really well.
I did however replace this filter after about 1 year of use because of the difficulty to clean.
This filter takes forever to clean and the pump section is VERY difficult to remove. I had to use large screw drivers and pry bars every time I cleaned this filter. It takes forever to clean this filter and has caused there to be chipping in the canister area because of the use of screwdriver/pry bar to pry the pump section off the canister to get it open.
I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS FILTER BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY TO CLEAN IT. I changed to an Owase which is soooo easy to clean and I am also now using a PenPlax. These filters are soooo much easier to work with and clean. Save yourself a lot of frustration and look in to other filters. There are much better filters available for around the same price.
