Review on AquaClear Impeller Assembly Power Filter Fish & Aquatic Pets by Kenneth Seymour

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What can you say about the aquarium filter impeller?

The impeller in an aquarium filter does an amazing job moving thousands of gallons of water every day. The fact that they can last for several years before needing to be replaced speaks to their overall concept. Aquaclear Series filters use a magnetic impeller assembly with a plastic fan attached to the top of the unit. The Aquaclear 20, 30, 50 and 70 filters use the same motor and impeller assembly, the only difference being that the fan mount for each subsequent filter is slightly larger than its smaller sibling, allowing the next size Aquaclear to pass more gallons can water at once. Hour. It also gives you some flexibility in using these filters. Let's say you want to extend the time between filter cleanings while maintaining the same water flow as the Aquaclear 50. You can buy an Aquaclear 70 and replace its impeller with that of the Aquaclear 50. In this way you get more filter surface without increasing the turbulence of the water in the aquarium. Aquaclear filters have adjustable water flow, but even at the lowest setting, Aquaclear 70 is too strong for, say, a 10 gallon aquarium. However, with the Aquaclear 30's impeller blades installed in the Aquaclear 70, you get the benefit of a much larger filtration area than a 30 gallon tank, resulting in less frequent cleanings and not having to worry about your fish struggling with it anymore Flow A large Aquaclear 70 impeller. If you later decide to have a larger aquarium, you can install the impeller that came with your Aquaclear 70. f the advantages of four Aquaclear filters (20, 30, 50 and 70) as they use the same motor; The only difference is the size of the plastic fans attached to the magnetic impellers. Because of this, Aquaclear cooktop filters have changed little over the last 25 years and have a very loyal customer base. Extremely well thought out design with flexibility in mind. And you, as a fish farmer, want as much flexibility as possible. Market. And the fact that they are workhorses too only adds to the fun of owning them as they are excellent at cleaning the aquarium, although like most aquarium filter manufacturers their reviews are on the optimistic side. For example, if you are buying a 30 gallon tank, skip Aquaclear 30 and get 50 as this will filter your tank better, especially when overcrowded and heavily planted. recommends the Aquaclear range of hob filters.
