All Pond Solutions External Filter Boosters (EF-2-Booster (2.3L))

I bought this as a pre-filter for my Fluval 307, and it works perfectly. It fits well and does an excellent job of trapping debris before it reaches the main filter, helping to keep the system running efficiently. The material is durable and easy to clean, making maintenance simple. A great addition for anyone looking to enhance their filtration setup. Highly recommended.

Excellent product, I used to have the in tank Eheim pre-filter, swapped to this a few weeks ago. It gets an ugly piece of plastic out of the tank and holds the waste out of the tank (cleaning the Eheim resulted in waste getting released into the tank). It’s a good price hence 5 stars even with the following issues: weird pipe connector size (17mm), awkward lower inlet location, gets in the way of the lid clips and the lid clips are pretty naff, they have a tendency to fall off when open. But ultimately none of these are showstoppers

Functionality is exactly what I needed. But I expected it to be clear pvc as advertised in the photos. Instead received a white pvc canister which is not see through. Other than that, everything is fine. Don't effect the flow of my FEF-230 canister. The tubing matches with my existing canister which is also 16mm inner-18mm outer diameter. Of course you still have to apply a little petroleum jelly around the valve ends and dip the tube ends in boiling water for 30 seconds and then jam it all the way in. Came with 3 sponges. No leaks.

Really pleased with this purchase. Used to have an Eheim professional + (can’t remember the model number) but it was a nightmare to clean and then prime (it hadn’t a built in pump). I got this and a small water-feature pump and it’s is a thousand times better. It’s a doddle to clean, and it actually does a fantastic job in its own right of removing solids. I have a lot of plants in my aquarium so they do the biological stuff that is missing from this - but if you use a bio-filter then this would be an excellent choice for a pre-filter as it is so easy to clean. As other people have said, there are a few niggles with it, like the clips come off when you clean it, the inlet position is inline with one of these clips which is awkward, and getting he lid off with wet hands and nothing firm to grip on is difficult, but for the price I can happily live with all of these minor niggles. If I build out my aquarium I will definitely use more of these filters.

Very quiet as there no pump to it.Well made and come with filter media. Fast delivery.I would highly recommend this product.Made my water extra clear.One thing make sure you check the pipe dimensions as they might be different to yours. So you will need to purchase the pipe for it as it don't come with it.But still a very good product and good value for money.Very happy 😊

product looks good wasn't Expecting to to receive a Second hand product Returned cause the first user said it was in a unused state it had all his return details on the side of the cannister so it not even been checked if i wanted second hand i would of went to car boot sale what a joke When i paid full price

A pre-filter (mechanical) for a larger bio and chemical filter seems to make logical sense. It's a smaller unit. Easier to carry and clean than the 2000ef I also purchased. However the unit looks used. It arrived without instructions. There are clearly marks where mechanical grips have been used to tighten the inlet connector. It is understandable why someone has done this as the inlet connector leaks when the unit is moved. I will be asking the supplier for a replacement. Sending a replacement back may be awkward as my the tubing was cut to exact length and my aquarium cannot operate without the pre-filter.

It has a lever on each connection that you can close and unscrew to clean the filter.Then you just connect the inlet pipe, open the leaver to let the water come in, connect the outlet and done. No mess, no fuss.Good as a prefilter. As many other reviewers, I have filled the main filter with media and I clean this minifilter once a week.
