This external canister filter suits keepers of freshwater and saltwater aquariums who want to match flow to tank size and run UV clarification on a timer. The LCD controller sets the daily UV operating hours and shows the cumulative lamp run time, which helps track when the lamp needs attention.
Why it matters
- Electronic flow control: the pump speed is adjusted electronically between 1200 and 3000 l/h. At minimum flow the filter draws less current than at maximum flow.
- Programmable UV lamp: the controller lets you set how many hours per day the 9 W UV lamp operates, and it counts the total hours of lamp operation on the display.
- Four filter baskets: the baskets accept different filter media, so mechanical, chemical and biological media can be combined in one unit.
- Quiet ceramic impeller: the ceramic impeller is rated for use in saltwater as well as freshwater.
- Aqua-stop valves: the valve system stops water flow from the filter into the hoses, so hoses can be disconnected from the lid during maintenance without draining the canister.

What it works with
The HW-3000 fits freshwater and saltwater aquariums from 120 to 1500 l, and the adjustable flow lets you set the turnover for a small tank or a large one. The dual intake has a lower tube that can be lengthened with extra segments, so it can draw water from near the substrate. Pair it with the filter media of your choice in the four baskets, and use the UV lamp schedule to increase run time when algae or disease problems appear.

Frequently asked questions
The filter can serve aquariums from 120 litres up to 1500 litres. Its flow rate is adjustable from 1200 to 3000 litres per hour, so you can match it to your tank.
Yes. At the minimum flow of 1200 l/h the filter draws less current than at the maximum 3000 l/h. The flow is controlled electronically by adjusting the pump voltage, not by throttling it with a valve.
The lamp is controlled from the LCD touch panel, where you can program how many hours per day it operates. The controller also adds up the total hours the UV lamp has worked and shows the result on the display.
Yes, the touch controls are fully waterproof, so you can operate them with wet hands. The filter has a 9 W UV lamp that helps keep the water clear by limiting algae and bacteria.
The ceramic impeller is suitable for saltwater use. The filter has four filter baskets that make cleaning easier and allow you to use different types of filter media, and the aqua-stop system lets you disconnect the hoses from the lid for maintenance without water flowing out.
