The all-new 07 series marks the 7th incarnation in nearly 4 decades of Fluval’s top selling canister filter family worldwide. Not only does the latest generation incorporate the power and reliability you’ve come to expect from the leader in aquatic filtration, but it also features several new performance upgrades that make it up to 25% quieter and more robust, energy efficient, flexible and easier to use than ever before. eTEC (Efficient Technology) is at the heart of the 07 series. It’s a synergistic process where forward-thinking design, cutting edge materials, and state of the art manufacturing processes come together to deliver powerful pump performance, reduced energy consumption and ultra-quiet operation. Fluval has redesigned and enhanced several maintenance features of the 07 series, including new ergonomic AquaStop valves (which permit instant hose disconnection), as well as a fiber-reinforced priming handle (for effortless start-ups) and single action dual locking clamps (for quick motorhead detachment). These components are more substantial and effortless to use than ever before, which is sure to please users during maintenance time. And speaking of simplicity, Fluval has also integrated EZ-Lift media baskets into the 07 series, which includes a new center handle design for simplified and simultaneous removal of the main media stack.The intelligent 07 design utilizes every square inch of available canister volume, positioning media resourcefully to maximize media space without any gaps in a compact size that most aquarium cabinets can easily accommodate. An independent pre-filter cartridge includes 4 separate chambers for quick and convenient access and features a unique vertical foam orientation that grants more filter surface area than most horizontal layouts. The pre-filter area will also feature Fluval’s new Bio-Foam Max, which is highlighted by a rippled pattern that creates up to an additional 30% surface area to efficiently trap waste and debris.
