Good product, instructions needed

Works well, needs more detailed instructions, needs details on how low the pump should be, what water level it's operating at. It's hard to refuel.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unreliable product in filter accessories

Cannot keep up with tank even with extra filter. Difficult to assemble and difficult to drive. Currently it won't even turn on, so I'll have to invest in a new filter. do not recommend!

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Quiet and efficient

Watched some installation videos. This is necessary as the instructions were limited. Once set up, I'm amazed at how quiet it is. I had to constantly check if it really works - it's so quiet! Good product

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Some errors

Terrible Product: Fish & Aquatic Pets

@ExoTerra I can't tell you how dissatisfied I am with your turtle filters. I've bought FOUR in the last 9 months and none of them work properly or last more than 2 months. They don't suck water into the filter and they don't clean anything.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • No Automatic

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not a reliable product.

Bought this item to replace the same one I had which lasted about 3 years before the pump died. I thought this one would last at least as long, but after 5 months this one stopped working too. I gave up this product and bought another brand. While this product is good when it works, the unreliability makes it very poor which is why I'm only giving it one star.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • I won't say anything

I've been looking for a good turtle filter for a long time

I've never written a product review but this one deserves it. I received this filter on Tuesday and am sending it back today (Thursday). I've been looking for a good turtle filter for a long time. I've had a red ear slider for 23 years so I bought him a new 40 gallon tank and decided to give this filter a try. There is a very poor guide to setting up this filter and my images were small and blurry. I decided to take it to PETCO where they helped me set it up, they noticed my filter was used…

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Vulgarity
