What’s New in the Fluval 06 Filter Canisters?
Re-Engineered Priming System
This powerful primer plunger functions in unison with the secondary check valve resulting in drawing water to the filter even when the water surface is as much as 12” below the aquarium rim.
Redesigned Aquastop
Levers for better grip, strength and durability. Fluval’s AquaStop valve offers unparallel convenience and ease of use. It creates an air and watertight seal that allows you to disconnect hosing without breaking the vacuum that keeps air out of the line.
Lift Lock Clamps
The lift lock canister clamps have been redesigned to provide additional strength and less tensile flexing. The handles seat into the sides of canister for increased ergonomics and security. Fluval Lift locks canister clamps not only secure the filter head to the canister itself but also provides a convenient lever action that easily opens the filter without mess for your regular maintenance and changing of media.
