It's known for its reliability, quiet operation, and unique features that make it stand out, particularly in larger freshwater and saltwater setups.

Key Features & Specifications

• Capacity: It accommodates tanks ranging from 300 to 700 liters, depending on the model, ensuring efficient filtration for a wide range of aquarium sizes.

Prefilter System – The Standout Feature

One of the most attractive features of the Aquael Ultramax Canister Filter is the built-in prefilter. This prefilter is designed for easy access and cleaning without the need to disassemble the entire unit, allowing you to extend the time between full canister cleanings. The prefilter captures large debris like plant matter or waste, which helps to protect and extend the lifespan of the main filter media.

• Ease of Maintenance: You can clean the prefilter by simply opening a separate compartment, making maintenance quick and hassle-free. This is especially beneficial for aquarists who want to minimize disruption to their tank and ensure consistent water quality.

• Durable and Reusable: The prefilter media is reusable and durable, further cutting down on replacement costs and making the Ultramax both an eco-friendly and economical choice.

Noise Reduction and Longevity

Another advantage of the Ultramax range is its silent operation. Aquael has designed the unit to operate with minimal noise, making it ideal for use in living spaces where peace and quiet are a priority.

The filters are also built for long-lasting performance, utilizing robust materials and precision engineering, ensuring that they remain reliable over time.

Conclusion

Overall, the Aquael Ultramax Canister Filter Range offers a powerful, efficient, and easy-to-maintain solution for aquarists, particularly those with larger tanks. The integrated prefilter is a standout feature, making regular maintenance simpler and less disruptive while ensuring the main filter media remains effective for longer.
