Description
The HALO external filter by AQPET represents one of the most advanced and professional solutions in the panorama of aquarium filtration. This system, complete and ready to use , has been designed to satisfy the needs of enthusiasts and expert aquarists who want high performance, ease of use and maximum operational safety , both in freshwater and marine aquariums.
Three-Basket Filtration System – Complete Water Treatment for a Stable and Crystal Clear Environment
The heart of the HALO filter is its multi-stage filtration system , consisting of separate baskets designed to house mechanical and biological filter media :
- The first mechanical stage traps suspended particles, debris, sediment and visible organic residues, immediately improving water clarity.
- The second biological stage promotes the settlement of nitrifying bacteria on ceramic or highly porous supports, responsible for the decomposition of nitrogenous substances (ammonia and nitrites), essential for maintaining the nitrogen cycle.
- The other baskets , which can be modulated according to needs, can be customized with additional materials such as activated carbon, resins or zeolite to refine the filtration and respond to specific needs of the setup.
The baskets are individually removable and designed for quick and easy maintenance , reducing cleaning times and minimising interruption of filter operation.
Ceramic rotor – long-lasting performance and exceptional silence
A distinctive technical element of the HALO filter is the latest generation ceramic rotor , which guarantees:
- Extremely quiet operation , making it ideal even in domestic environments, professional studios or night clubs;
- Reduced wear over time , thanks to the resistance to friction and corrosion typical of metal rotors;
- Longer engine life and higher overall energy efficiency.
The choice of ceramic as a technical material allows to limit vibrations, noises and overheatings , contributing to the solidity and reliability of the entire system.
Adjustable flow rate and powerful flow – for moving, always vital water
Thanks to the 16 mm inlet and outlet diameter , HALO ensures a wide and constant flow of water, capable of:
- cover the entire tank evenly , improving gas exchange and temperature distribution;
- avoid dead zones where water stagnates, promoting a healthier environment for all the aquarium inhabitants;
- ensure rapid elimination of suspended waste , avoiding accumulation and improving visual performance.
Flow control valves allow for precise control of intensity, adapting perfectly to tanks with different layouts (planted, community, chub, reef, etc.), and allowing for fine management of water movement based on the needs of the organisms present.
Technical innovation and electronic protection – touch start and anti-overheating system
HALO integrates advanced functions that make it a new generation product, designed for practical and safe use:
- The integrated anti-overheating system constantly monitors the engine temperature, preventing damage caused by prolonged use, blockages or lack of liquid;
- The touch start button makes filter start-up immediate and intuitive, eliminating traditional mechanical systems subject to wear and making post-maintenance restart easier.
These features make HALO an intelligent and protected device , ideal for those looking for a professional external filter that combines technology, ease of use and operational safety.
Easy installation, intuitive use and quick maintenance
HALO comes with all the components needed for installation : tubing, connectors, valves and filter materials are included in the kit, and the initial setup can be completed in just a few minutes even by less experienced users.
The compact structure allows positioning in any filter compartment or next to the tank, even in small spaces. The basket system allows immediate access to the filter materials for periodic operations, making maintenance fast, tidy and without losses .
