Why You’ll Love It The hygger 150 all-in-one backpacking water filter system comes with 3-stage filter media chambers, combining mechanical, biological, and surface oil removal for crystal-clear water and a thriving aquatic ecosystem. It is an integrated fish waste collector with one-touch discharge, simplifying fish tank cleaning, water changing, and surface oil removal. Key Features Whisper-silent Performance Engineered with vibration-dampening supports and precision motors for whisper-silent performance. The HG150 backpack filter includes interchangeable inlet/outlet accessories (oil skimmer, bottom suction, shower pipe) that adapt to rimmed and rimless tank setups (Not for saltwater tanks and thick rimmed tanks >12mm). All-in-One Filtration & Surface Skimming – Built-in Oil Film Remover: The floating surface skimmer continuously removes oily residues, improving gas exchange and clarity. – Fish Waste Collector: A transparent chamber with a stainless steel drum traps debris for easy visual monitoring and one-touch drainage. Adjustable Flow & Versatile Output – Flow Rate Control (132 GPH Max): Adjustable flow rate dial in gentle currents for delicate species or stronger flows. – Multi-Outlet Flexibility: An optional air hose for tailored water movement and aeration. Choose from a rain-like spray bar, directional jet, or aerated stream to suit your tank’s needs. Effortless Maintenance – Quick-Drain System: Connect a 1/2″ hose (not included) to the drainage outlet for hassle-free water changes and waste removal. – Tool-Free Media Access: Swap filter pads or ceramic balls in seconds without disassembling the unit. – Stainless steel mesh, high-quality components, and reinforced filter baskets ensure longevity. Compact & Silent Design – Whisper-Quiet Motor: 6W energy-efficient pump operates at <25 dB; as a backpacking water filter, it is ideal for home or office environments. – Slim Profile: Mounts discreetly on rimless tanks (up to 12mm thickness) with secure mounting clips. How It Works Intake & Pre-Filtration: – Water is drawn through the adjustable telescopic intake (9.8″ length) or surface skimmer, which removes oils and films. – A stainless steel rotary drum immediately sieves out large debris like fish waste and plant matter. 3-Stage Filtration Process: – Mechanical Stage: Filter floss pads trap fine particles and suspended solids. – Biological Stage: Ceramic filter balls cultivate beneficial bacteria to break down harmful ammonia and nitrates. – Chemical Stage (Optional): Add activated carbon or resin (not included) to eliminate odors, discoloration, or toxins. Return & Aeration: – Filtered water is returned via 3 customizable outlets: – Spray Bar: Creates gentle surface agitation for oxygenation. – Directional Spout: Adjustable flow for targeted water movement. – Air Infusion Tube: Inject oxygen bubbles for enhanced aeration. Usage Tips 1. Critical Installation Tips: Always prime the filter with water before startup to prevent dry-run damage. For rimless tanks, ensure mounting clips are fully secured to avoid slippage. If your tank border is thin enough, <12mm, it can also be installed normally. 2. Maintenance Best Practices: Clean the stainless steel drum weekly to prevent clogging. Replace filter floss every 2–4 weeks, depending on the bioload.
