FLUVAL STATE-OF-THE ART TECHNOLOGY
AquaStop Valves
The AquaStop valve makes maintenance easy by allowing you to
stop the water flow with an easy 90-degree turn of the valve
lever. This means you can separate the hosing from the filter in
one step. The valve lever can also be used to regulate water flow
with no harm to the motor or its components. Three Valves are
provided; one for the intake, one for the output and one to be
used to drain the filter under certain circumstances during the
maintenance process.
Click-fit Connectors
Click-fit connectors are designed for quick set-up and leak-proof
maintenance. You just push the intake and output assemblies
(Aquastop valves and attached hosing) down. Once you hear the
“click,” you know the connection is secure and watertight.
Lift-Out Stack of Media Baskets
The lift-out stack of media baskets is at the heart of Fluval multi-
stage filtration. These large capacity baskets enable you to stack
filtration media in the precise combination of layers that will
work best for your aquarium. Each basket is lined with a foam
insert for effective mechanical pre-filtering. The instant-release
T-handles let you lift, then separate the basket stack quickly and
easily, making routine maintenance simple.
High Capacity Canister
The FX5’s compact, super capacity tank processes and recirculates
fully 607 US gallons (2300 liters) of water every hour and
accommodates the stack of media baskets with their capacity
of up to 1.5 gallons (5.9 liters) of media. Yet this enormous-
capacity tank is short enough (21 in./54cm) to fit under most
large aquariums.
