FLUVAL: The Official Blog from Hagen » 05 Series http://www.fluvalblog.com Freshwater & Saltwater Designer Aquariums, Filters, & Heaters Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:34:48 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 Meet the New Generation of Fluval Externals! http://www.fluvalblog.com/the-best-just-got-better/ http://www.fluvalblog.com/the-best-just-got-better/#comments Wed, 05 Oct 2011 11:18:17 +0000 Hagen http://www.fluvalblog.com/?p=1046 Check out the new Fluval ’06 Canister Filter, the latest update to the world’s favourite external filter!

The first change you notice is the aesthetic – a sporty looking black, red and white livery now adorns the filter casing. The real changes though are not immediately obvious until you delve a little deeper.

Easy to Start

A completely re-engineered priming mechanism makes the Fluval ’06 child’s play to get started. Just a few pumps of the new, strengthened priming handle and you’re off and running.

15% More Power

The new filters are more powerful than their predecessors without increasing power usage, thanks to some clever mechanical changes which allow the filter to work more efficiently. Each model now moves up to 15% more water than its predecessor for better circulation and cleaner, healthier water.

Silence is golden

The Fluval has always been a quiet filter, but now it’s practically silent thanks to a completely re-engineered impeller and impeller cover. At the contact points between the impeller and cover sit tiny ceramic rings which are virtually friction free, reducing vibration and noise to a bare minimum for almost silent running.

Easy To Maintain

The patented Aqua-Stop system effortlessly stops water flow with no mess or leaks and the new, strengthened lift-lock handles allow easy access inside the filter. Quick-change mechanical foam media is easy to remove and the new Bio Foam media supplied (206, 306 and 406 models only) creates additional space for beneficial bacteria to breed.
