SURFACE FILTER SAS (SKIMMER)

Aquael SAS 500 Surface Filter – Effective Surface Water Filtration

The SAS 500 is a surface filter designed to clean the water surface in aquariums from layers of dust, protein film, and small plant debris. It helps maintain the aesthetic appearance of the aquarium and supports water filtration and aeration. Thanks to its adjustable capacity, it is ideal for both large and small aquariums with water surfaces.

One common problem in aquarium tanks is the formation of bacterial film on the water surface. This limits gas exchange, blocks light penetration, and spoils the appearance of the aquarium.

• Model: SAS 500

• Suitable for Aquariums: 20–500L

• Water Flow: 500 L/h

• Power Consumption: 4.4 W

An integrated sponge pre-filter prevents shrimp and small fish from accidentally entering the motor chamber. If an aquatic animal does end up inside the unit, it can be safely released by tilting the filter housing over the tank.

The SAS Filter 500 is equipped with a maintenance-free float that automatically adjusts filtration to the changing water levels in the tank. There’s no need for daily adjustments. Installation is the only thing to pay attention to—and it’s extremely easy thanks to the included suction cup mount, which allows for quick setup and easy removal. The simple design also makes cleaning and maintenance effortless.

Recommended Uses:

• In open-top tanks where surface debris accumulates more easily due to the lack of a cover

• After tank maintenance, such as plant trimming, when debris builds up on the surface

• In heavily stocked aquariums, where uneaten food, dust, and plant residues gather more quickly on the water surface
