Material and Design Breakdown
The low-profile submersible body is designed to sit unobtrusively within the aquatic zone of a paludarium. The easy-access door on the filter housing allows the cartridge to be swapped out quickly without pulling the entire unit from the water, reducing maintenance time and habitat disruption. The included spray bar distributes filtered water evenly across the surface, while the venturi valve introduces additional aeration into the water column. The extra-long 9.8-foot cord accommodates a wide range of tank sizes and outlet placements.
Setup and Compatibility Guidance
This filter is designed for paludarium water features up to 20 gallons. Mount horizontally or vertically on the inside wall of the habitat using the included mounting hardware. Attach either the spray bar or venturi valve depending on your preferred water flow and aeration style. Fully submerge the filter before plugging in. The 9.8-foot cord provides ample reach for most paludarium setups.
Care and Maintenance
Open the easy-access door to remove and replace the filter cartridge as needed without removing the filter from the tank. Rinse filter media with tank water (not tap water) during routine maintenance to preserve beneficial bacteria. Check the spray bar or venturi valve periodically for debris buildup and clean as needed to maintain optimal flow.
