Aquael PAT Mini Turbine Filter

AQUAEL PAT MINI is a tiny turbine
filter intended for use in small freshwater aquariums. This device
consists of a small head and a carefully selected filter sponge. Thanks
to the innovative design, the maximum throughput of the filter head
reaches 400 l/h, which is comparable to the typical performance of a
medium-sized turbine aquarium filter. Despite its high performance, the
filter operates at a power consumption of 4W or less. Given its
specifications, PAT MINI can provide efficient filtration even in a
120-liter tank. However, you should not be concerned about the filter
creating an excessive whirling motion in smaller tanks, since there is a
performance control switch in the front part of the head that allows
you to adjust throughput as required. In addition, the filter is
equipped with a directional nozzle that can be used to control the
outflow of water into the tank e.g. by directing it towards a tank wall.
The aeration tube connected to the outlet nozzle ensures efficient
oxygenation of the water.

The sponge supplied with the PAT MINI
filter can trap even the finest visible impurities, performing efficient
mechanical filtration of water in the tank. In addition, the sponge
provides an ideal living environment for strains of beneficial
nitrifying bacteria that oxidize ammonia and nitrates, toxic substances
that are harmful to fish. Maintenance of the sponge is very simple and
takes less than a minute. Regular maintenance will guarantee continuous
operation of the filter, and the inhabitants of our aquarium will swim
in crystal-clear and toxin-free water.

The device is very easy
to install thanks to a holder equipped with strong suction cups and a
functional bracket that can be used to hook the filter onto the edge of a
tank wall.

The PAT MINI filter is compatible with the AQUAEL
sprinkler and the AQUAEL MINI UV water sterilizer. Replacement sponge
media can be purchased separately. They are available either in the
standard version or in the CARBOMAX and PHOSMAX versions. The CARBOMAX
sponge is saturated with activated carbon to remove chemical
contaminants and water discoloration. The PHOSMAX sponge is intended for
removing phosphates from the water in order to prevent the growth of
algae.
