PROTEGE Aquarium External Canister Filter Aqua Fish Tank Pond Pump UV Light 1850 L/H

Extremely versatile and customisable, the Protege P4000 External Aquarium Filter and Pump series hold large amounts of mechanical, chemical, and biological filter material in varying combinations to provide you with the ultimate filtration. The result is maximum flexibility to create a unique filtration system suited for your needs.

The Protégé Ultra Series delivers a smooth consistent flow of water to pass through the filtration system. It provides the water flow that is vital for effectively distributing oxygen to fishes and other aquarium inhabitants. Aside from aeration and water circulation, the pump can also operate ornaments and create currents inside the tank.

Mechanical Filtration - Add mechanical filter pads to effectively remove unsightly particles from the water, including fish excrement, sludge, uneaten food and dust.

Chemical Filtration - Adding activated carbon and resins will remove various pollutants including dissolved organic compounds and keep the water crystal clear without odour. Effective at removing impurities such as copper, chlorine, dissolved proteins, medications, tap water & impurities. Perfect for sensitive fish and invertebrates.

Biological Filtration - If you have a heavily stocked aquarium or a very large fish that produces a greater amount of metabolic waste, just add biological material. These very porous ceramic noodles and bio balls allow efficient biological filtration to effectively process ammonia.

WARRANTY POLICY

In addition to your statutory rights (listed on the website separately), the seller offers a 12 month warranty on all products used for private household use from the date of purchase (unless noted otherwise). The use of products for commercial purposes qualifies the purchaser to a 3 month warranty period.

Until the nature of any fault is determined, the resolution the seller can offer may vary. Where necessary, the item may need to be returned to determine fault/issue. If the products are unusable upon receiving or there is a major fault, the customer may choose between a full refund via the original payment method or a replacement product. There may be some situations that result in a reduced refund. In the case of a minor failure, the seller warranty may cover fitment of replacement parts or offer replacement parts to the customer. Other alternatives may be offered to the satisfaction of both parties.

Should you wish to claim a warranty on your item, please follow the process outlined in the Returns section.

Warranties do not apply where items are resold/rented for the purpose of profit.
