AquaClear 50 Power Filter for 20- to 50-Gallon Aquariums

The AquaClear 50 Power Filter is designed with a distinctive multi-stage filtration system, ensuring superior water quality through complete mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. Its filtration capacity is impressive, boasting a volume that is up to seven times greater than that of similar filters. This design enables enhanced contact time with the AquaClear filter media, optimizing filtration performance.

The filter features a waterfall design that ensures the return of filtered water to the tank occurs quietly. This gentle cascade breaks the surface tension of the water, promoting beneficial oxygenation within the aquarium. With a patented flow control mechanism, users can easily adjust the water flow to suit the specific needs of their aquarium setups.

Installation and maintenance of the AquaClear Power Filter are straightforward. To set it up, fill the filter case completely with water and secure the cover. Then, adjust the water flow control lever on the intake "U" tube to its maximum position during the initial start-up. After plugging the power cord into an outlet, allow 30 to 45 seconds for priming to ensure that air is expelled from the "U" tube. If priming does not occur, check that all components are installed properly, the filter case is filled with water, and the power connection is active.

The AquaClear 50 comes fully equipped with three essential media elements: AquaClear Foam, Activated Carbon Filter, and AquaClear BioMax. Additionally, AquaClear provides an extensive range of media options, including Zeo-Carb and Ammonia Remover, specifically tailored for the AquaClear 50 Power Filter. These products are ideal for both large and small freshwater tanks, serving various functions such as accessories and decorations.

Suitable for aquariums ranging from 20 to 50 gallons (76 to 190 L), the AquaClear 50 Power Filter achieves a maximum output of 200 U.S. gallons per hour (757 L/h). It stands out as one of the most versatile hanging filter systems on the market, with five models available to cater to the flow rate needs of popular aquarium sizes. Its innovative design allows for up to six times more media volume and the industry's longest water-to-media contact time.

In cases where delicate fish or plants require a gentler flow, the AquaClear re-filtration system allows for flow rate adjustments without sacrificing filtration efficiency. When the flow rate is reduced, the filter processes up to 50% of the water within the chamber multiple times, enhancing mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration effectiveness.

A healthy aquarium thrives thanks to beneficial bacteria, which are vital for eliminating toxic ammonia and nitrite. Traditional cartridge filtration methods often result in the loss of these beneficial bacteria during replacements—a drawback the AquaClear system effectively mitigates.

The AquaClear Foam Insert aids in debris removal and maintains optimal water distribution, ensuring other filter media function at maximum efficiency. Meanwhile, the AquaClear Activated Carbon Filter, made from premium research-grade carbon, enhances water clarity by adsorbing undesirable impurities. Its surface area facilitates effective removal of contaminants, odors, and discoloration.

For biological filtration, the AquaClear BioMax Filter Insert houses ceramic rings that offer a rich surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization, effectively reducing levels of ammonia and nitrite in the aquarium.

To maintain peak performance, replace the AquaClear Foam Insert every two months, the Activated Carbon Filter Insert monthly, and the BioMax Filter Insert every three months. Additionally, AquaClear products come with a warranty against defects and a Lifetime Guarantee on non-replaceable parts that ensures repairs or replacements with proof of purchase.

For enhanced aquarium success, AquaClear also offers specialized products like the AquaClear Ammonia Remover, which is engineered to minimize stress on fish populations, and the Nutrafin line of conditioners, supplements, and test kits designed to optimize the aquatic environment.

Overall, the AquaClear Power Filter stands as an excellent choice for aquarium enthusiasts looking to maintain vibrant, healthy aquatic ecosystems through superior filtration technology.
