## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with media and does it have uv like larger filters**
A: Yes it does, it comes with a set of sponges (different grains) and a set of plastic spheres for the bacteria. Personally, I replaced the speheres with cermic rings. There is also a lot of dpace to add other media like carbon. It has no UV.

**Q: Hi, I purchased one of these and it has 4 square holes under the rim of where the lid attaches and water is coming out of those holes, how to stop?**
A: Read a few of the answers here , one says maybe you over filled it which isn't a viable answer due to the fact the unit needs to be totally filled with water with no air in it to work at full capacity. 
There are 4 square cut out in the top section  these are to accommodate the clips which keeps the lid on tight. When fitted correctly these clips work on a cam action and make a kind of clicking noise when they are correctly fitted and closed . 
If you don't fit them correctly the unit will leak from them .
You may also want to check the O ring that sits between the lid and the pot is correctly seated on the lid , it's usually a good idea to give it a thin coat of silicon grease or vasiline this will help it stay in the correct position when refitting the lid if the filter .
I would take pictures of mine showing this but it is actually running at the moment and I have had no issues with it leaking at all . 
Hope this was of some help. 

Another tip I can give you with these filters is many say they don't have much water flow and it won't lift the water very far . 
This usually due the air in the system and needs a good prime. 
To so this you need a bucket. 
Once you have your filter set up with the pipes in the tank run it for a few minutes then shut it off close the valve on the lid .
Now you need to take the outlet hose and place it in the bucket,  open the valve and let it start to syphon the water through the filter once you see that you have a nice flow if water ,( usually only takes a few seconds), you can now turn the power back on so the pump runs you should see an nice increase in the output of water into your bucket. 
Now all you need to do is close the val e on the lid again , refit the outlet pipes to the tank and open the valve and you should have good water flow now.
I usually put filter start or the bio bacteria ball in the top of the filter after cleaning .
Only need to clean mine every couple months .

**Q: How long are the hoses? Also what size are they if i need longer ones?**
A: The two hoses are 1.4m each, pumping height is 850mm.

**Q: Is it normal for the pump to be warm**
A: The pump is slightly warm as it also houses the voltage converter from mains power down to the pump operating voltage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant value for money
*by J***T on 28 August 2025*

Brilliant value for money bigger than expected very powerful pump Excellent filtering capability quiet running pump pond water was clear within a hourEasy to use and easy to cleanExtremely happy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fairly large, quiet and effective.
*by M***R on 4 August 2025*

Easy to set upReally quiet when it's running.water in tank is now crystal clear.I would recommend soaking the inlet and outlet pipes in hot water then hanging them straight down so they straighten out as they initially stay curled up after unpacked.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent enough for the price
*by B***N on 24 March 2020*

This is a nice, quiet and cheap little canister filter that does the job well enough. I bought it to replace an internal filter that died on me and so far so good. The set up is a little bit tricky getting it primed with no air bubbles in the flow, but once you get it going, it's perfect, completely silent and filters well. If you're struggling, this is basically a re-branded filter which sells in the states under the brand name Sunsun, so if you're struggling with the setup, I recommend searching for Sunsun canister filter setup on YouTube and you'll find loads of videos of people walking you through it. This is handy because if it does get trapped air, it's hideously noisy and the flow is awful, but once you get it going well, it's perfect. Mine is set up about a metre below the tank.There's loads of space for media, as well as a couple of little trays and it comes with plastic ball media and three sponges of different coarseness. I removed the balls and replaced them with Seachem Matrix, which has been fuss free and I had plenty of room to put the old sponges from my old filter in for a few weeks to allow the tank to keep stable and bacteria to breed easily from the old media. Honestly, I still feel like the flow is very soft in my 150L tank, but my fish are all low flow lovers anyway, so I'm okay with that, but if you need a rapid flow, i would look elsewhere. Overall, a good filter for a great price, but priming it is a little tricky and the low flow sort of goes against it. Depending on your application, you can decide if this is a heavy count against it or not.
