SunSun HW-5000 External Canister Filter

SunSun HW-5000

Smart Variable-Speed External Canister Filter with UV

The SunSun HW-5000 is a high-capacity external canister filter designed for larger freshwater aquariums, offering adjustable filtration flow, multi-stage media filtration and an integrated 9W UV sterilizer.

Unlike a conventional fixed-flow canister filter, the HW-5000 features 7 adjustable speed levels, allowing you to control the pump output according to your aquarium's requirements. Its LCD control system provides convenient monitoring and adjustment of the filter's operation.

The external canister design keeps the main filtration system outside the aquarium, helping maintain a clean aquascape while providing generous space for filtration media.

Key Features

Adjustable Flow Control

The HW-5000 provides variable pump output from approximately 1,800 to 4,600 L/H, with 7 adjustable levels.

This allows you to reduce the flow for more delicate setups or increase circulation when higher turnover is required.

Integrated 9W UV Sterilizer

A built-in 9W UV lamp provides an additional water-treatment stage alongside the mechanical and biological filtration system.

UV filtration can be useful for improving water clarity and managing suspended microorganisms and algae in appropriate aquarium applications.

LCD Control Display

The integrated LCD interface allows convenient monitoring and adjustment of the filter's operation.

The digital control system makes it easier to change the pump output without relying on a simple fixed-speed switch.

Multi-Stage Filtration

The HW-5000 uses multiple filtration stages, allowing different types of media to be combined according to your aquarium's needs.

Suitable media can include:

• Coarse mechanical media

• Fine mechanical media

• Biological media

• Chemical filtration media

Proper media arrangement allows the filter to handle mechanical debris removal as well as biological filtration.

Why Choose the HW-5000?

With adjustable flow, LCD control, large filtration capacity and a built-in 9W UV sterilizer, the SunSun HW-5000 offers greater control than a basic fixed-output canister filter.
