AquaClear 50 Power Filter, Fish Tank Filter for 20- to 50-Gallon Aquariums (Packaging may vary)

Description

The AquaClear 50 Power Filter features a unique multi-
stage filtration system that provides complete mechanical, chemical, as well
as biological filter media for superior water quality. The Power Filter has a
filtration volume that is up to 7 times larger than comparable filters. It
also allows superior contact time with AquaClear filter media. Its unique
waterfall design enables filtered water to return to the tank silently, gently
breaking the surface tension and creating beneficial oxygenation. The Power
Filter’s patented flow control feature allows you to adjust the water flow
according to your aquarium needs. The media basket prevents water from by-
passing the filter media, maximizing filtration efficiency. Installation and
maintenance are quick, easy, and convenient. Fill Power Filter case completely
with water and replace cover. Adjust water flow control lever on intake “U”
tube to its maximum position for initial start-up. Plug power cord into
electrical outlet. Allow 30-45 seconds for priming (air to be expelled from
“U” tube.) After priming has been completed, move adjustment control on intake
“U” tube to adjust water flow rate as required. If the priming process doesn’t
occur, verify that all parts are installed correctly, filter case is
completely filled with water, unit is plugged into power outlet, and ensure
“U” tube lever is set to maximum position. The filter comes equipped with
AquaClear Foam, Activated Carbon Filter and AquaClear BioMax. AquaClear offers
an extensive line of media, including Zeo-Carb and Ammonia Remover,
exclusively designed for the AquaClear 50 Power Filter. AquaClear creates a
wide variety of products for freshwater tanks that can be used as fish tank
accessories, fish tank decorations, and aquarium filter media that is perfect
for large and small fish tanks. The AquaClear 50 Power Filter is ideal for 20-
to 50-gallon (76 to 190 L) fish tanks. Maximum Output: 200 U.S. Gal./h (757
L/h). AquaClear Power FilterThe AquaClear Power Filter represents
one of the most versatile hang-on filter systems available. The five models
available provide a complete selection of flow rates for the most popular
sizes of aquariums. The filter’s unique design allows for up to six times more
media volume and the longest water to media contact time in the
industry.Superior Contact with AquaClear FilterPatented Re-filtration System
Sometimes delicate fish and plants require a more gentle water flow. The
patented AquaClear re-filtration system allows you to control the flow rate
without compromising filtration efficiency. When the flow rate is reduced, up
to 50% of the water within the filter chamber is processed multiple
times.CycleGuard Multi-Stage Filtration System Provides optimal mechanical,
chemical, and biological filtration. A healthy aquarium requires “beneficial”
bacteria. Invisible and harmless, beneficial bacteria are essential in the
removal of toxic ammonia and nitrite. With cartridge filtration systems, when
you throw away the cartridge, you throw away beneficial bacteria. It can take
weeks for the bacteria to re-colonize, resulting in a stressful
environment.Typical Filter Media Placement:BottomAquaClear Foam Insert, which
does the following: 1. Helps with debris removal and provides optimal water
distribution patterns, allowing subsequent filter media to perform at full
efficiency. 2. Biological filtration, due to the porous structure of foam,
providing surfaces for beneficial bacteria.MiddleAquaClear Activated Carbon
Filter Inserts contain 100% premium research grade carbon. Premium research
grade carbon provides large amounts of surface area for adsorption of
undesirable impurities.TopAquaClear BioMax Filter Inserts contain BioMax
ceramic rings. The surface of BioMax is made up of a complex pore system that
allows bacteria to thrive.AquaClear Power FiltersPower Filter MaintenanceFor
maximum filter operation and efficiency, regular cleaning of the filter and
its parts is recommended every two weeks.Always unplug the Aquaclear Power
Filter prior to cleaning.First you want to remove the cover, filter basket,
and discard water remaining in the filter case. Thoroughly rinse collected
debris from the case, impeller cover and impeller assembly using clear
lukewarm water.Then intake “U” tube and extension tube can be cleaned with a
filter stem brush to remove any build-up of deposits.When all parts have been
cleaned and thoroughly rinsed, reassemble filter and replace any scheduled
media. Install the filter once again back on the aquarium making sure that the
filter is tipped slightly forward.Then fill the AquaClear filter box with
aquarium water. Finally plug the filter into an electrical outlet and the
AquaClear will self-prime and begin running in a few seconds.Media
