HW‑602B – external filter

This canister filter suits hobbyists with 50–100 l aquariums who want continuous mechanical and biological filtration without frequent intervention. It can run as the primary filter on a smaller tank or as a prefilter ahead of a larger filtration system.

Why it matters

• Three filtration stages: three sponges, filter wool and bioballs remove both coarse debris and fine suspended particles, and the bioballs provide surface for biological filtration.
• Prefilter capability: used upstream of a main system, it captures debris first, which reduces the load on the main filter.
• Flow rate of 400 l/h: the pump circulates water at a steady rate, and the rated power draw is 6 W.
• Compact footprint: measuring 140 × 140 × 255 mm, the unit fits inside a cabinet beneath the aquarium.

What it works with

The unit is designed for small freshwater or marine aquariums in the 50–100 l range, where it can serve as the main filter. Its 400 l/h flow suits tanks of this size, and the included valves simplify servicing and hose changes. In larger systems it can be placed ahead of the main filter to extend the service life of that filter.
