Sobo FE-1502 Aquarium Internal Filter (15W) – 1200 L/H Submersible Dual Sponge Pump

Achieve crystal-clear water and powerful circulation in your aquarium with the Sobo FE-1502 Internal Filter. Engineered for medium to large fish tanks, this robust submersible pump combines a high flow rate with superior mechanical filtration, thanks to its striking dual-chamber design.

Powered by a highly efficient 15-Watt motor, the FE-1502 effortlessly delivers an impressive maximum flow rate of 1200 Liters per hour (F.MAX). Housed in a modern black and transparent casing, this versatile unit is completely "Suitable for both fresh and salt water" environments, making it an essential, heavy-duty addition to any home aquarist's setup.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual-Chamber Mechanical Filtration: Features two stacked, transparent bottom canisters that house thick, ribbed yellow filter sponges. As water is pulled through the unit, "The filter sponge absorbs dirt and clears the water," actively trapping free-floating waste before it can cloud your display.

• Easy Visual Inspection: The transparent sponge canisters eliminate the guesswork from your maintenance routine, allowing you to easily see exactly when the yellow sponges have accumulated debris and require a quick rinse.

• Fully Submersible & Safe: Designed to be "Fully submersible and ideal for any aquarium filtration," giving you the freedom to place it securely below the water line. It also carries an IPX8 waterproof rating for maximum electrical safety during continuous underwater operation.

• Integrated Aeration Kit: Enhance your tank's dissolved oxygen levels without needing a separate, noisy air pump. The package includes clear airline tubing and an air intake valve that connects to the outflow, drawing surface air directly into the water stream for vital gas exchange.

• Adjustable Flow Control: Customize the water current to perfectly match the needs of your aquatic pets. The manufacturer notes that "If less flow is required, adjust the flow control lever" to dial back the strong 1200 L/H output for delicate fish or specific planted setups.

Setup & Maintenance Guidelines

To ensure the maximum lifespan and quietest performance from your Sobo filter, please adhere strictly to the manufacturer's safety instructions:

1. Submersion is Mandatory: "Always ensure the pump is submerged in water" before connecting it to a power source. Running the unit dry will cause the motor to overheat and suffer permanent damage.

2. Proper Handling: "Do not lift the pump unit by pulling the wire (Power Cord)" as this can cause internal electrical faults. Be aware that "The power supply cord provided for this appliance cannot be replaced".

3. Routine Sponge Cleaning: "A clogged or dirty intake screen will generally reduce the performance of the pump. Hence, you must wash away the surrounded debris frequently" to maintain the optimal 1200 L/H flow rate.

4. Impeller Care: To keep the motor running smoothly, regularly "Remove the front cover and the impeller cover, followed by the impeller unit. Use a small brush to clean the cylinder or just wash away the debris under running water".

5. Electrical Safety (Drip Loop): "Always disconnect from the electrical socket before performing maintenance". During installation, ensure your power plug is inserted into a socket higher than the pump so "that water will not back flow via the wire to the socket outlet".
