Canister Filter with Built-In UV

The PetWorx WXF-1800UV combines external canister filtration with a built-in UV steriliser. The canister provides space for filter media while the UV stage exposes passing water to ultraviolet light.

UV sterilisation can help reduce free-floating microorganisms and suspended algae in the water column. It should be used as part of a complete filtration and aquarium maintenance system rather than as a replacement for mechanical or biological filtration.

1800 L/H External Aquarium Filtration

With a rated flow of 1800 litres per hour, the WXF-1800UV is designed for aquariums that require strong water circulation through an external canister filter.

Actual flow through an aquarium filter can be lower than the rated pump output once filter media, hose length, lift height and normal media loading are taken into account.

Includes Filter Media

The PetWorx WXF-1800UV is supplied with filter media, allowing the canister to provide several stages of aquarium filtration.

Mechanical media helps trap suspended debris, while biological media provides surface area for beneficial bacteria. Additional chemical media can also be used where appropriate for the aquarium.

Why Choose an External Canister Filter?

External canister filters keep most filtration equipment outside the aquarium, leaving more room inside the tank and providing a larger area for filter media than many compact internal filters.

They are a popular choice for larger freshwater aquariums where stronger filtration capacity, good water circulation and flexible media options are important.
