RS Electrical RS-840 Hang-On Canister Filter (8W) – 800L/H High-Flow External Filter with Surface Skimmer

Step up your filtration game with the RS Electrical RS-840, a powerful "Hang-On Canister Filter" designed for aquarists who demand the efficiency of a canister filter without the bulky footprint. With a robust 8-watt motor and an impressive flow rate of 800 liters per hour, this filter is the ideal solution for keeping medium-sized aquariums crystal clear and healthy.

The RS-840 features a space-saving design that hangs neatly on the back of your tank. It comes equipped with an integrated surface skimmer, which actively removes unsightly oil films and floating dust from the water surface, ensuring maximum oxygen exchange and light penetration for your plants and fish.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Performance Filtration (800L/H): The powerful 8W motor delivers a maximum flow rate of 800 L/H, providing superior water circulation and turnover compared to standard hang-on filters.

• Integrated Surface Skimmer: Features a specialized "oil film absorption" intake. This effectively cleans the water surface, removing scum and increasing dissolved oxygen levels.

• Space-Saving Design: Combines the biological filtration capacity of a canister with the convenience of a hang-on-back (HOB) unit. It hangs externally, saving valuable swimming space inside your tank.

• Silent Operation: Engineered for "Low noise operation," ensuring your aquarium remains a peaceful focal point in your home or office.

• Adjustable Flow Control: Includes a flow regulation valve, allowing you to customize the water volume to suit delicate livestock or create a stronger current for river species.

• Safety Features: Designed with anti-dry protection to prevent motor damage and ensure long-lasting durability.

Setup & Maintenance Tips

1. Assembly: Connect the inlet and outlet pipes to the main filter body. Hang the unit on the back of your aquarium glass.

2. Crucial Step - Priming: Before plugging it in, unscrew the top filling knob and fill the canister bucket completely with water. This removes air and allows the pump to start immediately.

3. Start-Up: Once filled and secured, plug in the power. If there is air trapped, the filter might be noisy initially; ensure the water level in the intake is sufficient to purge the air.

4. Cleaning: Regularly remove the filter material to clean or replace it. Clean the motor base and impeller periodically to maintain the 800L/H flow rate.
