Decent filter for a small pool

Works great for a small pool with a light load. The only problem I have is that the filter gets dirty on one side before the other. It just leads to more frequent cleaning. The filter itself lasted about a month with weekly cleaning. Having to clean the filter in the aquarium water to keep bacteria out probably hasn't improved the life of the filter, but a sick or dead fish sounds even worse.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power

Fast service at no extra charge

I needed a filter mat and foam. Went to Petco where I bought my new Fluval Chi, unfortunately they hadn't had a product for almost 3 weeks, went to Revain.com and was surprised to see that they were selling this product and was very happy to see this product along with advertising receive. I bought a new case for my Chi the same week. Traveling from here to Hawaii usually takes a bit longer, but to my surprise it happened in the same week. Overall I'm very happy with the service with no extra…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Maintenance for replacement is very simple. Pull tab while on Fluval spec 2 and 5 you have to take light off hood pull everything out and get water everywhere remove charcoal and biocarrier and rinse off then repeat everything i prefer chi method less mess.

However, it does its job well and seems to take…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here

Hagen/Fluval should find a better manufacturer

This review is from the heart as I have used this product as advertised and it really doesn't do what it is supposed to do. This is a clear example of why manufacturers in China should be replaced by manufacturers in this country, where quality can always be EXPECTED AND GET, and where lack thereof can be complained about. Now specifically on the white pad, when you rinse and rinse and then put it where it's supposed to go and hook up the filter so the water goes through the pad and gets…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
