Turtle Clean External Canister Filter - 15 gal

Providing adequate filtration is an integral part of aquatic turtle care, as these fascinating creatures can be quite messy. To help you maintain optimal water quality for your shell-dwelling pals, Zoo Med has developed the Turtle Clean 15 External Canister Filter.

Designed for use in aquatic turtle habitats up to 15 gallons in size, this powerful and energy-efficient filter employs 3 highly effective stages to keep you water clean and your turtles happy. It features an adjustable flow rate that maxes out at 79 gph, and includes an optional spray bar to increase oxygenation and efficiency.

Stage 1 - Biological - ceramic rings provide an ideal surface for the colonization of beneficial bacteria. They help improve water quality by converting harmful waste (e.g. ammonia) into relatively harmless nitrates.

Stage 2 - Chemical - a pouch filled with premium activated carbon removes potentially harmful contaminants and impurities including discoloration, heavy metals, odors, and organic waste.

Stage 3 - Mechanical - a fine mechanical filter sponge effectively traps and removes debris and particulates from the water (e.g. uneaten food, waste). It also provides supplementary biological filtration.

The Zoo Med Turtle Clean 15 is designed for easy installation, operation, and maintenance. It comes will all the required parts and media, and boasts an easy priming feature to simplify initial and post-cleaning start-ups. It also features anti-vibration bushings to ensure near-silent operation.

Performing routine cleanings and media changes couldn't be easier thanks to the Turtle Clean's easy-open filter head. Simply shift the locking slides to gain instant access to the media and impeller for maintenance and/or replacement.

The Turtle Clean 15 features a compact, space-saving design that fits easily into tight spaces. It is manufactured in Italy using the highest quality materials, and is cULus listed for safety and peace of mind. 5.9" x 3.5" x 6.5"
