The SunSun HW-5000 LCD + UV is an external canister filter for keepers of larger freshwater and marine tanks who need to match filtration to tank volume and to control UV sterilisation separately. Its built-in controller lets you set the pump flow and the daily operating time of the UV lamp without changing hardware.
Why it matters
- The pump speed is regulated electronically by changing the voltage, not by throttling a valve. According to the supplier, the filter draws less current at 1800 l/h than at 4600 l/h, and the motor avoids the wear associated with valve-based flow control.
- The UV-C lamp runs for 2, 4, 8, 16 or 24 hours per day. Shorter cycles suit stable tanks, while longer cycles can be used when algae or disease problems appear.
- The body, lid and other plastic parts are made of ABS. The impeller is ceramic, which the supplier states makes the pump suitable for seawater.
- Three large filter baskets allow different media to be combined and make routine cleaning easier. Aqua-stop valves let you disconnect the hoses from the lid during maintenance without draining the filter.

What it works with
The HW-5000 is designed for tanks in the 350 to 2500 litre range, where its wide flow range lets you set the turnover to the tank size and to the conditions you want to simulate. It fits with the Loc-line system and spray bar supplied with the filter, and its UV lamp is intended for keeping the water clear of algae and microorganisms that cause cloudiness or disease.

Frequently asked questions
The filter can handle aquariums from 350 to 2500 liters. Its flow can be set between 1800 and 4600 l/h, so you can match it to your tank.
Yes, the UV lamp is controlled by the built-in computer and can run for 2, 4, 8, 16 or 24 hours a day. The running time can be extended when algae or disease appear in the tank.
Yes, a lower flow draws less electricity than a higher one. On the first pump setting (1800 l/h), the power consumption is 10 W.
Yes, the pump has a ceramic impeller that allows it to operate in seawater.
The aqua-stop valves block water flowing from the filter into the hoses, so you can detach the hoses from the filter lid during maintenance work.
