The complete line, consisting of Fluval U1, U2, U3 and U4 Underwater Filters, includes many practical and versatile features that make them ideal for application in fresh, marine and reptile environments.
Fluval U series filters provide the option of setting the flow output in 3 different positions, a key benchmark in underwater filtration. The Adjustable 3-Way Flow Control feature (U2, U3 and U4 models) lets you position the water flow output to meet your specific needs. The Top Output setting provides maximum circulation and oxygenation, the Integrated Spray Bar setting provides a gentle, even flow for planted aquariums, and the Bottom Output setting is for deepwater agitation.
Fluval U Filters also include a convenient flip-top lid that allows quick and easy access to the filter cartridge for maintenance or replacement including Fluval's Clean & Clear cartridge (A499). Packed with special high performance resins, Clean & Clear is proven to reduce phosphate and nitrate while preventing the spread of algae, providing you with a cleaner, clearer aquarium and healthier fish for longer intervals.
In addition, Fluval U Filters offer installation versatility: they can be installed vertically against the aquarium wall to create currents or customized flow patterns; or they can be placed horizontally in shallow water tanks or to create decorative features such as waterfalls.
The Fluval U3 Underwater Filter is ideal for use in fresh, marine or reptile environments. It comes complete with the Adjustable 3-Way Flow Control feature, 2 Foam Pads, 2 Poly/Carbon Cartridges, and BIOMAX Biological Rings.
The U3 is suitable for aquariums from 90 to 150 L (24 to 40 U.S. gal.).
