The Fluval FX5 is a large
capacity, multi-stage external
canister filter system. Fluval
FX5's massive capacity and
powerful integrated motor
processes and recirculates 607
U.S. gallons (2,300 liters)of water
every hour, enabling precise
management of water conditions
for aquariums as large as 400
U.S. gallons (1,500 liters).
Fluval FX5 features include:
- A self-priming instant-start
system that eliminates the need
for manual siphoning
- Unique click-fit AquaStop
Valves that regulate water flow,
rotate at 55 degree angles and
allow for fast set-up and leak-
proof maintenance
- An innovative multi-functional
aquarium rim connector to easily
secure hosing in place
- A convenient clog-free strainer
to prevent build-up of solids that
could impede water flow
- A purge valve that allows for
partial discharge of debris
without needing to move the unit
- Multi-directional twin output
nozzles tp create specific water
flows
Fluval FX5 Smart Pump
Technology (patent pending)
ensures quiet, efficient operation.
This self-priming system provides
plug-in-and-start convenience.
Smart Pump Technology
employs an electronic circuit
board to continually monitor the
pump. Impeller speed and force
are constantly measured to
ensure powerful output and
energy efficiency. On a 24-hour
cycle, the pump will pause and
allow trapped air to escape,
ensuring ultimate filtration
efficiency at all times.
The true power behind Fluval
filtration technology lies in the lift-
out stack of media baskets.
These allow custom media
configurations. The large
capacity baskets hold a total of
5.9L of media and enable
precise stacking of media to suit
the desired objectives of any
aquarium.
