is this filter good for shallow water

Not too shallow, maybe 10 feet and don't point it to the light. Everything will show red if you do. Definitely a great product for deeper depths!

I used it as shallow as 10 feet. Most divers I talked to said it is best from 10 to about 80 feet deep.It does make a big difference in taking out the greenish tint and allowing the blue to really pop.

No... Very efficient and very decent filter for the price. I run this on my 30 gal marine tank using the sponge it comes with, fluval carbon, seachem purigen and fluval bio max. My tank is always crystal clear and levels stay consistent

no. search on p100 filter and you'll see the 3m spec sheet that will tell you what it's good for and what it's not good for. Get your answers from mfg !!!

I followed a recommendation for this filter from a chriskresser.com. He had a link to a guy who rated them. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a product that removes everything yet. It doesn't make the water feel sticky. Our water isn't hard so I'm not sure how it would perform there. Sorry.

I agree with the others the fx6 is a great filter, but it is still necessary to do frequent water changes. No filter will do that for you.

If your bait pond is more than about 80gal. This is not the filter for you,the return fitting is about a mil off so. I just left I left the hose and let it run down a waterfall.

I'm not sure about the filter however, I operate the pump in a shallow bird bath with maybe 3 inches of water and it works fine.

No. This filter will only remove debris and sediment. Will not help with hard water scale.

Hi..I doubt this filter will help as it's for sediment ..aka tiny bits of dirt.

The source of the water shouldn't matter. However, an extra pre-filter for sediment might not be a bad idea for lake water.

I use it and seem to have no problems but I can't atest to the use in salt water. I should replace any filter sand.

I would go with 150 more filtration for your tank, I have regular 29 gallon tank and I have Marineland 200 filter works great. 2 month went by and water still clear and all water tests pass.

I have only installed this filter a few weeks ago, looking at the glass it removes a lot of sediment,I have a well. So far so good, I am happy with this filter,I would recommend it to a friend.

My documentation is not with me. I can say that the filter does a good job reducing bightness. In fact I have used it on some of the planets with good results.

I use this as a prefilter of sediment for my water filter / softening system with good results. I never had a prefilter before but hop it extends the life of the rest of the system. I do change the filter each month but the low cost seems worth it.
