it is really good.The cyclone system is a marked improvement on traditional vacuum cleaners -- there are no bags to replace and the suction doesn't decrease as it suck up more dirt. so many times i have left the vaccum on in error on my carpet, and when i removed it, it was awesome cleaned , i can confidentally say it is Good!

The "Cyclonic" filter seems to work just fine - it is aided by a reusable foam filter (that can be washed out) and a final HEPA filter that is replaceable (annually, they say) for about $12. There is no residual dust etc coming from this machine whatsoever.

It's a decent fan and filter combination. I use it as a air scrubber. The fan is strong. I bought a speed adjuster to control it. You can use it a few ways. It's a high quality product for sure. Plus it was so cheap. I've used it for a long time. I will occasionally change the charcoal. Otherwise , long life span.Good luck with your purchase... Kaptain Kindbud

I have freshwater tanks currently but I really do like this filter. I use it in my 29gal planted. I didn't use the carbon and used matrix in its place. You can slow or speed up the filter too. Easy to clean. Buy the filter replacements on Amazon. You can find non-branded ones or cut some to size you self. I don't use the drip tray prefilter though, get gunked up fast. I have a small bio wheel in my 10gal shrimp tank. I like it to but the wheel gets stuck and won't spin at times. Don't have to worry about that with this fluval filter and it has an indicator to let you know when it needs cleaning. I recommend it.

You should be all right. There's a gauge on the system that tells you if the pressure is good enough. The Better the pressure the more efficient the filter is

I've been running it on low for the last 6 weeks. I have had no problems with it. Only time I turn if off is to clean it once a week. I let the filter dry for about an hour. No issues.

You will be fine. I have 1 sponge filter that is missing clear top piece. So if you want a wide dispersal of air bubbles just take it off.

i use it in my splash superpool (look it up if interested) with same style cleaner and really recommend it - it keeps the crap out of your filter. might want to monitor it to "burp" the air out of the system every once in awhile. there's a good video for it on youtube.

So far our filter has been holding up pretty good. I haven't had the chance to change it yet. Sorry.

It filters better than a K&N, but I still bought one of the AFE filter wraps so I don't have to clean it as often, live on a gravel road, lots of dust in summer.

Hi.The one I got had a filter and was on sale for about 18.00. Works great, so I got 3 others for my family. I should be on their payroll. LOL

I tried to duplicate your problem with the B+W filter. I noticed no purple problems with it on but slight fringing w/o.

It seems to work fine. I'm thinking you need a little wiggle room for water movement Yes I got one that takes chlorine and it's evil twin BUT you have to ask for that one, and be aware There is about a month break in for the filter (Oder) after that smooth nice clean water. I live in an area that agressively treats the water and the water has many impurities.....but not for me now!

Also depends on how often you are running your system. In the mild Pacific Northwest, I probably use it 20% of the time I did in NC. Annually or more frequent if the filters look dirty.

It has very powerful suction. The different stages of filtration refers to the pressure that the unit sucks. There are different heads for different levels of abrasion. I am happy with my purchase.

I think you will be happy with this filter. I am using one in my 200 gal fish tank I like it because 1. it is a good filter 2. It keeps the water oxygenated. ( lot's of bubbles ) :-) when I get my 75 gal tank ready I all ready have one for it.
