One of the world’s best loved filters gets a makeover
 |
Fluval has launched the FX6, the newly improved canister filter with Advanced Motor Technology, energy efficient motor and super quiet operation....
Branded as the ‘salvation for your aquarium’, the new FX6 High Performance Canister Filter is an upgrade of the FX5 model and takes the hard work out of tank maintenance with its Smart-Pump Technology and beefy specifications it’s the ‘Don’ of the filtration world.
Just one of the new benefits of the FX6 filter is that it comes complete with full media selection including foam, biological media, carbon and bio foam which allows the marine hobbyist to maintain a healthy environment.
Catering for large home aquariums the FX6 has been designed with some great features. Its powerful integrated motor re-circulates 2130 litres of water every hour, enough to keep a 1500 litre aquarium clean and healthy and the unique, intelligent Smart-Pump Technology means you just add water and plug the filter in - no need for manual siphoning.
 The filter will fill with water from the aquarium, pause to evacuate air and then immediately begin the filtration process, continuing until it is unplugged. Once every twelve hours, the filter pauses to evacuate any trapped air so that the total vacuum is maintained.
An electronic circuit board continually monitors the pump, while impeller speed and force are measured constantly to ensure maximum output and energy efficiency.
Feature Click-Fit technology creates fast setup and leak proof maintenance. Valves rotate and are at a 45 degree angle for easy positioning and the advanced motor technology provides better performance and reliability while consuming 10% less electricity.
A unique feature of the FX6 model is its maintenance reminder. Monthly Indicator Dials allow you to remember the date of your last filter maintenance / water change and with the FX6 water changing is a breeze, just attach the appropriate hose to the output and the FX6 Smart Pump Technology will do the rest – no need for buckets!
Virtually clog-proof, the FX6 has a telescopic intake strainer making it easier to position, and its wide, rounded mouth is shaped to siphon water quickly. The fine beveled screen repels debris and the flared spout of the adjustable output nozzle sends streams of purified water in all directions, creating currents that agitate the water to break down wastes and hold them in suspension until they can be drawn into the filter by the intake strainer. With more waste solids kept afloat in suspension, bottom surfaces remain cleaner.
Thanks to the canister’s purge valve with drain hose and reengineered canister clips, the entire stack of baskets is easy to lift and quicker to open when changing or cleaning filtration media.
“The FX5 model was a market leader in the large filter market and we have made some great enhancements to create the FX6, notably the introduction of Advanced Motor Technology which provides better performance whilst consuming 10% less electricity,” said Paul Trott, Marketing Manager at Hagen.
“With its super quiet operation, maintenance reminders and Smart Pump Technology, the FX6 is the premier choice amongst hobbyist and professionals,” concluded Paul.
The Fluval FX6 Canister Filter has a suggested retail price of £299.99.
