Cascade filters have been designed for the best possible filtration through a large volume. At the same time, the design of the filter allows it to be placed outside the tank, thus saving space in the aquarium, and the return of water, taking place by means of a cascade, perfectly aerates the water in the aquarium. Such filter characteristics far outweigh the internal filters, regardless of the volume of the aquarium.
The constructors of the SunSun CBG series have improved this concept of cascade filters with multi-stage filtration (mechanical, biological and chemical) and water sterilization with a UV lamp. The best quality of filtration along with additional solutions facilitating the filter service make the filter far ahead of the competition in this field. In addition to the low price, the CBG series is unrivaled and it can be safely said that it is currently the best product on the market.
The filter has a three-stage filtration, consisting in the operation of three different filter cartridges. Each of the inserts has a separate, dedicated place, and loose refills - a container - a basket. The filter media have a special "drawer" with a handle which allows you to quickly remove them from the filter.
Biological filtration is provided by bio-ceramic balls of different porosity. The balls are the habitat of bacteria that reduce the concentration of NH3, NH4 and NO2 in the aquarium, while affecting the health of the fish and providing a natural nutrient for plants.
Chemical filtration is ensured by activated carbon that perfectly binds metals and their compounds into humic pesticides and metabolic products. It is a cartridge that clarifies water and reduces the unpleasant smell of water. It improves water quality, including biological filtration.
Mechanical filtration is provided by a sponge with an appropriate gradation. It removes all impurities from the water, clearing the water of any dust, plant residues or small floating parts of the substrate.
Baskets for filter media can accommodate any filter cartridge depending on the needs of the tank.
A strong UV-C lamp is responsible for sterilizing the water. It has a wide spectrum of action, which is responsible for maintaining the water in excellent quality. It is extremely effective in killing all algae spores and bacteria responsible for the formation of cyanobacteria or diseases. The lamp has a switch that allows you to adjust the degree of water sterilization to the needs of the tank. Regular use of the lamp effectively protects the tank against unpleasant surprises. the lamp housing has a small viewfinder that informs the user about the lamp operation.
The water inlet to the filter takes place through two pipes for different purposes. The bottom tube draws water in the closest possible area to the bottom. In this way, the filter sucks in impurities lying on the bottom, which are a frequent cause of bottom siltation and deterioration of water quality. The second inlet is partially above the water surface - it is commonly known as a surface skimmer. It takes water directly from its surface, removing any floating impurities and protein that is visible to the human eye as a fat stain. This extremely unsightly coating is highly dangerous to the health and quality of the water, so the filter that neutralizes it ensures the best and complete quality of water filtration.
The filter has a smooth, stepless flow control, and therefore efficiency. The adjustment allows you to adapt the filter to aquariums with a capacity of 38 to 115 liters.
An additional flow control is placed on the skimmer tube, by means of which it is easy to adjust the degree of efficiency of this inlet together with the lower inlet at the level from 0% to 100% of the flow.
The telescopic bottom water inlet and a special foot enable easy and quick installation of the device in any aquarium, regardless of the height of the tank or the thickness of the glass it was made of.
The SunSun filter is built on the basis of many years of experience. It is characterized by reliability and efficient work. The impeller, which is the heart of the device, is resistant to the high resistance of the pumped water, and moreover, it has an axis made of sintered stainless metals with titanium, enabling the pump to work in sea water.
