Product Description

Product Description

The Fluval C4 Power Filter features 5 stages of filtration: 2 mechanical, 1 chemical and 2 biological stages for top performance. The C4 Power Filter is equipped with the Fluval C4 Poly/Foam, Activated Carbon, C-nodes and Bio-Screen pad. An integrated trickle chamber filled with C-Nodes is where biological filtration is super charged for fast and efficient nitrification. The mechanical filtration is performed by a dual layer of foam and polyester, and is easily removed for quick cleaning. The patented recirculation grid enhances mechanical filtration when the flow rate is reduced. A convenient chemical insert basket directs water flow to maximize toxin removal. Maintaining only one stage at a time will preserve beneficial bacteria, resulting in a stress-free environment, while ensuring aquarium water stays clear. The Fluval C4 Power Filter clips on, and is ideal for use on aquariums up to thirty gallons. It is the perfect way to provide your fish with refreshing and clear water.

Fluval C Series Power Filter

Maximum Versatility and Premium Performance

Engineered to create superior water quality, the Fluval C Power Filter provides extensive 5-stage filtration for outstanding results. The Power Filter is designed to provide maximum surface area and optimum dwell times in all stages of the filtration process.

New 5 Stage Filtration System

Stage 1 & 2: Mechanical- Poly/Foam Pad Effective mechanical filtration is essential for efficient chemical and biological filtration. The large surface area of the Poly/Foam pad effectively performs two stages of Mechanical filtration. The first stage of porous foam traps large particles and the second stage of dense polyester captures fine debris.

Stage 3: Chemical- Activated Carbon Insert The Fluval Activated Carbon Filter Insert contains 100% premium research grade carbon, which provides large amounts of surface area for adsorption of undesirable impurities. The activated carbon filter insert removes unwanted odors, discoloration and impurities, resulting in a crystal clear aquarium.

Stage 4: Biological-Bio-Screen An additional hydraulic circuit conveys part of the intake water to the Bio-Screen placed at the top of the Trickle Chamber cover. Fluval’s Bio-Screen removes any debris before dripping into the biological chamber. It also ensures that the water pumped to the Trickle Chamber is evenly spread through all areas before it drips on the C-Nodes, which are contained in the chamber. The motion of water dropping slowly through the grids mimics the rain.

Stage 5: Biological- C-Nodes The surface of the C-Nodes is made up of a complex pore system that provides optimal living space for beneficial bacteria to thrive and enhance the removal of ammonia and nitrites. The new “Star Shape” provides a higher filtration surface and more biological power than a traditional cartridge, resulting in a healthy aquarium environment.

Patented Refiltration System

Sometimes delicate fish and plants require a more gentle water flow. Fluvals’ patented re-filtration system allows you to control the flow rate without compromising filtration efficiency. When the flow rate is reduced, up to 50% of the water within the filter chamber is re-processed multiple times. More impurities are filtered out, creating a healthier tank with sparkling clean and clear water

Bio-Screen: Replace Bio Screen every 2-3 months.

Motor O-Ring: Replace once a year to prevent leaking.

Power Filter Maintenance

For optimal performance it is recommended to clean the impeller cover assembly once a year. The motor should be thoroughly cleaned every three months. Always unplug the Fluval C Power Filter prior to cleaning. Remove cover, filter media and discard water remaining in the filter case. Thoroughly rinse collected debris from the case, impeller cover and impeller assembly using clear lukewarm water. The intake "U" tube and extension tube can be cleaned with a filter stem brush to remove any buildup of deposits. When all parts have been cleaned and thoroughly rinsed, reassemble filter and replace any scheduled media. Install the filter once again back on the aquarium making sure that the filter is tipped slightly forward. Then fill the Fluval C filter box with aquarium water. Finally plug the filter into an electrical outlet and the Fluval C Power Filter will self-prime and begin running in a few seconds.

The filter is designed with little to no filter bypass, which is a very important function for maintaining the filter media.

So much better than the Marineland Penguin Pro 275
5 Stars
So much better than the Marineland Penguin Pro 275
I bought this because my first filter, the Marineland Penguin Pro 275, crapped out on me for 1/2 a day. I had turned it off/back on, cleaned it out, etc, but it acted dead. And that filtration system is only 5 months old. It has bad reviews and I, myself, can not get the filter to quit overflowing and the bio-wheel never turns. It did begin to work on its own again after a few hours of not messing with it, because filter systems are like that and simply like to mess with you.On to this review of the C3 Fluval. I'm so happy I bought it. Both of these filters are rated for 50 gallons, but if you review my one picture, you can tell the Fluval puts out so much more than the Marineland just by looking at the surface agitation. (Fluval on left, Marineland on right.) I did lubricate the pinwheel, pin, and magnet parts as others have suggested. It's very quiet. I can hardly hear it. I have noticed that it takes a bit to get it primed and going once it turns off. When I set it up, it wouldn't prime and begin filtering until I attached the leveler. When I shut off the filter to water change, it came back on instantly when I plugged it back in. However, when I moved the system 3 inches to the side to clean the glass, it stopped working and wouldn't come back on again. I primed it with water. Then I dunked it in the tank and shook it around to get any air bubbles out. Finally, when I began poking the pinwheel part, it started on its own. Might have been a piece of sand stuck in there. I was having mild cloudiness issues because I fed green beans to my fish, and the Fluval has cleared it up immensely.Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product. I'm happy I can still depend on Fluval when I've begun having so many issues with Marineland products. I love that I don't need a canister to have 5-stage filtration. I also love that it gives me some clearance and won't be sucking up my sand with the intake! I had to put river rocks underneath the Marineland to prevent this issue. Thank you, Fluval!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fluval C4 eficaz gran calidad silencioso totalmente recomendable
Reviewed in Spain on March 29, 2022
Tengo un acuario de 80 litros con 4 peces cometa de un año. Anteriormente tenía un filtro interior de otra marca con muchísimos problemas de eficacia, ya que no limpiaba lo suficiente y cada semana debía renovar una parte de agua y limpiar.

Compré el producto filtro fluval C4 y me vino un primer envío, el producto era completamente nuevo pero tenía una esquina del filtro con un pequeño roto. Pedí el cambio y en 24 h me lo reemplazaron por otro filtro completamente nuevo en condiciones perfectas y rapidísimo. Sin queja ninguna. Servicio excelente.

Lo coloqué y comenzó a funcionar, lo tengo aproximadamente un mes. El cambio ha sido fantástico. El filtro funciona perfecto. A los 2 días de funcionar ya tenía el agua limpia, cristalina, transparente, y así la tengo desde entonces.

El aparato mide aprox. 21,5 centímetros (cm) de ancho, por 16 cm de profundidad total y de altura total mide 22 cm de altura (sin contar el tubo de captación).

La mochila sobresale por detrás o lateral 10 cm respecto del acuario

De altura sobresale del acuario 7 cm por arriba.

El tubo de captación de agua yo lo tengo a 25 cm de profundidad por debajo de la cota de agua. Puede llegar un poco más. Es regulable en altura, se puede bajar o subir y con ranuras en la captación para evitar que entren partículas grandes.

No hace prácticamente ruido, sólo el ruido propio de un pequeño aparato, que casi ni se nota, y es completamente normal. Y además lo que se oye es el tranquilizador y relajante sonido del agua al caer por la cascada.

Ya lo que es el filtro tiene primero el filtro C esponja o foamex o poliester, el carbón activo, una tela filtrante, las cánulas cerámicas o vidrio, y el agua vuelve a verterse por la cascada. Creo que es un filtrado completo.

Se limpia fácilmente, cada 2 semanas retiro los filtros, los enjuago en un recipiente con la propia agua, y los vuelvo a poner, muy fácil.

Tiene 2 velocidades, se regula con una palanca parte superior a izquierda, yo lo tengo al mínimo y es suficiente. Algún rato lo pongo al máximo pero casi nunca. Esta palanca no regula la potencia del motor de extracción, parece que sólo regula la entrada de captación de agua, pero el sistema yo lo veo bien.

Tiene un pivote rojo, arriba a derecha, que sube cuando está sucio. Pero a mi no me ha subido nunca.

El autocebado, con el nivel de agua de acuario alto, he comprobado que desconectando unos minutos la corriente eléctrica, y volviéndolo a enchufar, el mismo se autoceba y vuelve a extraer agua y bombearla. Quizás si pasa más rato, y el nivel del agua del acuario es muy bajo, el filtro perdería agua acumulada y podría no funcionar.

Algo en contra, que no tiene esquimer de recogida de residuos superficial. Pero creo el sistema como está es suficiente.

Por tanto, es eficaz filtra y limpia perfectamente, gran calidad, silencioso, calidad precio buena, totalmente recomendable.
