SunSun Tech'n'Toy HW-603B 106 GPH 3-Stage External Canister Filter, 12 Piece Set

This is an excellent product.

Worth money

Reduces my maintenance big time, perfect size, and soundless... It's a good buy for tanks below 20 gallons.

بصراحة، ما توقعت كثير من هذا الفلتر بسبب سعره الرخيص، لكن بعد استخدامي له لأكثر من 6 شهور، أثبت لي العكس تمامًا. يعمل بكفاءة، حافظ على نظافة الحوض وثبات الماء بشكل ممتاز. جربت أطلب فلتر أغلى منه وكان سيئ وما اشتغل مثل هذا. فعلاً يستحق خمس نجوم، وبكل أمانة أنصح فيه لأي شخص يدور شي عملي وفعال بدون ما يدفع كثير.

Bought this to start a new 10 Gallon planted aquarium. This has been extremely quiet, efficient, and kept my water clear. I did use "Chemi-Pure" blue all in one filter media inside this canister and I have not once opened the canister to clean it and my water levels are perfect. I have only needed to clean the water exit plastic piece where multiple hole water spout that easily comes off is. It did take a bit to get the hose on the actual pump however once its done its good to go. This was well worth every penny spent on it. No water changes needed just adding water to my tank every few weeks. I have lost 0 fish and my plants have been flourishing. Pictures show the 7 month progress. I am buying a second one of these for my other tank.

Ok for price

I purchased this item from seller M/s. Cloudtail India for Rs. 2027/- . Its a bit on the expensive side. But it is cheaper than its counterparts available in the market. Though it is Cheaper, it is still one of the reliable products available. Its value for the money. I have a planted tank set up of size 2.5ft x 0.85ft x 1.5ft. I have used this SunSun HW-603 Multistage Canister Filter in conjunction with SunSun HW-302 External Canister Filter. I have used this filter as Mechanical Filtration medium only. The Filter has 3 types of sponge or foam (coarse, medium and fine) along with a fine mesh for filtration purposes. It has an inlet stop valve and a pump attached to the canister at the outlet which can be removed for attaching the inlet and outlet tubing provided with accessories. The quality of tubing is good. The tubing is firm and takes a little bit of getting used to handling it. The inlet and outlet accessories are also of good quality. The canister is of good quality plastic and is sturdy. The lid has a rubber seal (O Ring) which seals the lid to the canister tightly with its soft plastic clips (these clips are not so strong so be careful while using it). I used the inlet and outlet accessories of HW302 Filter since my tank was big and attached the same to inlet tubing of HW603 and similarly the outlet tubing to the inlet of HW302 Filter (HW302 Filter was used for Bio Filtration only). The tubing easily slides inside the bigger tubing hence forming a tight seal. Before finishing the setup, I filled the HW603 canister with water from my tank to the brim; applied petroleum jelly (vaseline) on the rubber seal of the lid to get a tight seal and long life ( a tip i picked up from an youtube video for canister maintenance); sealed off the lid, opened the inlet stop valve, switched on the motor and let the water from my tank to flow through the tubing to the outlet (inside a bucket). Once the flow was established removing any air bubbles in the line, switched of the motor and closed the inlet stop valve and then proceeded for the remainder of the setup. The pump works very well has a good flow and its very quiet. There was no leakage observed during operation. Its working very well. There is a small leaflet (instruction manual) on how to set up the filter. This filter can be used for both mechanical and biological filtration by removing one of the sponges and replacing it with biological media. I left all the sponges intact except for the fine mesh. I added ceramic cylinders both at the top and bottom of the separators inside the canister and its works perfect. I have only started using it and for long term results, I shall update its status after six months.

buen producto,cumple su funcion perfecto. es muy silencioso a la fecha quedo genial en el acuario de 100 litros.

I have a 15 gallon tall tank that a hang on back filter just couldn't keep clean. Was going to go for an expensive name brand cannister filter setup, and then found this for cheap. WOW I was impressed! Lack of instructions and stuff, but once I figured it out, this is the BEST filter I have ever used! Its quiet, SUPER efficient, and super easy to use! Lack of instruction on which filter goes where, but if you start out with the course filter (black?) on top, and then go finer and finer to the bottom (to the thinner white filter), its best. I actually put a carbon media filter bag between the finest filter and the sponge filter and it clears the water up QUICK. This thing filters the dirty water through the lid to the bottom out through the pump. I also installed a primer bulb from a cleaner pump into the inlet hose (cut the hose about a foot back and installed it there) to prime the filter. Works great!
