Prefilter
The Aquael ULTRAMAX filters come with a spacious 1.5-liter pre-filter integrated into the lid of the unit. This thoughtful design effectively captures larger debris, which significantly lessens the need for frequent filter maintenance. Cleaning the pre-filter is a breeze; just lift the lid, take out the sponge from the basket, and rinse it under running water. This maintenance can be done without removing the unit from the cabinet, making the process both convenient and efficient.
Double Ball Valve System
The ULTRAMAX filters feature a unique patented double ball valve system that resolves a typical problem for aquarists—the spillage of water when uncoupling the inlet and outlet hoses. This clever system simultaneously shuts off both the filter inlet and outlet as well as the hoses, preventing any unwanted water escape and minimizing mess during upkeep.
Self-Priming System
Starting up the filter is effortless thanks to the self-priming system. You only need to perform 2 to 4 motions with the piston to fill the filter with aquarium water. This straightforward mechanism guarantees that you can quickly activate the filter without any hassle.
Smooth Performance Regulation
Adjusting the filter’s performance is both intuitive and uncomplicated. It features a clearly marked small lever on the right valve for easy performance regulation. This design ensures that even novice users can effortlessly modify the filter according to their requirements.
Effective Filtration
The ULTRAMAX filters are engineered for efficient mechanical and biological filtration. They come with multiple filter cartridges housed in 1.9-liter baskets. Depending on the model, there are between 3 to 5 baskets, providing a total filter media capacity of 6.3 to 10.10 liters. This configuration guarantees thorough filtration, promoting a healthier aquarium ecosystem.
Discreet Operation
The design of the filter minimizes noise during operation. The carefully crafted pump impeller, its chambers, and the ceramic impeller axis collaborate to ensure that the filter runs almost silently. This feature makes it ideal for placement in tranquil spaces like bedrooms or workplaces.
Fully Equipped
Every ULTRAMAX filter is supplied fully equipped with selected cartridges for mechanical and biological filtration, as well as all essential accessories. This ensures that the filter is ready for immediate use upon purchase. Furthermore, the adaptable configuration of filter media allows you to customize the filter’s performance to meet the specific demands of your aquarium.
Low Electric Power Consumption
The ULTRAMAX filters are crafted with energy efficiency at the forefront. The ULTRAMAX 1000 uses just 15 watts, the ULTRAMAX 1500 uses 16 watts, and the ULTRAMAX 2000 has a reduced power consumption of 17 watts (after a 30% reduction from earlier models). This makes them both cost-effective and eco-friendly.
