Aquarium filter AQUAEL TURBO FILTER 500, 500 l/h (for aquariums up to 150 liters)
The TURBO 500 series filters combine the advantages of internal filters with the capabilities of external filters, thanks to the presence of a container in which any media can be placed (the container is initially filled with biological media). The amount of filtration material can be increased by attaching additional containers.

AQUAEL TURBO 500 filters are designed for purifying and aerating water in aquariums.
Thanks to the use of modern energy-saving motors, as well as high-quality gaskets under the rotor chamber, the power of the pumps has been increased. In addition, Turbo 500 is able to saturate the water with oxygen, even at great depths, where filters from other manufacturers are ineffective. The biggest advantage of the new Turbo is the high quality of filtration. Each filter is equipped with a container suitable for placing any filter media and a fine-pored sponge.
Thanks to the notches, the sponge provides high mechanical and biological filtration performance without requiring too frequent cleaning. Filtration containers are equipped with BIOCERAMAX 600 ceramic filler. This substrate denitrifies the aquarium environment, removing ammonium and nitrites.
An additional advantage is the possibility of vertical connection of containers. After purchasing additional containers, the volume of filter material can be increased and, accordingly, the filter can be used for large aquariums (or densely populated aquariums).
The containers make it possible to use any biological and chemical filter media from the AQUAEL range, such as: BioCeraMAX Pro 600, BioCeraMAX Pro 1200, BioCeraMAX Pro 1600, ZeoMAX PLUS, CarboMAX PLUS, NitroMAX PRO, PhosMAX BASIC and PhosMAX PRO.
The sealed rotor chamber contributes to their high efficiency with relatively low energy consumption. All Turbo 500 filters are equipped with a smooth system for regulating the power of water flow, in the form of an ergonomic regulator installed on the outlet spout of the pump.
All models of internal AQUAEL TURBO FILTER filters are equipped with special shock-absorbing suction cups that suppress possible vibrations transmitted to the glass and additionally muffle the operation of the device.
The larger TURBO FILTER 1000, 1500 and 2000 models are equipped with a ceramic rotor axis, which further contributes to their quiet operation and guarantees durability.
Internal filter AQUAEL TURBO FILTER 500 for aquarium up to 150 l (500 l/h, 4.4 W, h = 70 cm)
TURBO FILTER internal filters are designed for cleaning and aerating water in aquariums. High efficiency of two-level filtration (mechanical and biological) ensures the purity and crystal clarity of water. , ,Filters of the TURBO series are suitable: - for beginner aquarists (high-quality filtration, ceramic filler for biological filtration included), - for breeders (a large open sponge will protect fry from getting into the filter, a two-level filtration system will ensure biological balance).
The basic package includes a large-pored open sponge and a container with ceramic filler. The sponge is designed to remove large and small particles of dirt from water. The container for bulk fillers is filled with ceramic filler in the form of BIOCERAMAX 600 rings, on which colonies of beneficial nitrifying bacteria that process substances toxic to fish settle over time. A distinctive feature of TURBO FILTER is the possibility of increasing the filtration material by attaching additional containers with fillers. , The kit includes an aeration nozzle, thanks to which the filter can saturate the water with oxygen. The presence of a regulator allows you to change the power of the water flow coming out of the filter. The direction of water outlet can be adjusted within a range of 120°.

Aquael Turbo internal filters
Internal filters from the Polish company Aquael are very popular in the CIS countries. According to statistics, in the segment of cleaning freshwater aquariums with a volume of about 200 liters, they dominate, leaving behind external and internal models of other manufacturers.
In many ways, this trend is due to the emergence of a family of inexpensive and, at the same time, universal Aquael Turbo Filter devices. Turbo internal filters are made according to a traditional design, including a pump and a filter unit. In addition to a fine sponge, they have a filter block container. The filling of this container depends on the preferences of the aquarist.
The water pressure is regulated by a ring switch, which is located at the inlet to the impeller (old Turbo Filter line), or by a flap at the outlet of the pump (new Turbo Filter NEW models). The impeller of the Turbo 350, 600 models rotates on a steel axis, while the rotor of the Turbo 1100, as well as all devices in the NEW line, has a ceramic axis. Changing the material of the axle ensured the quiet operation of the more powerful internal filters of the Aquael Turbo.
Turbo internal filters are typically used for biological and mechanical cleaning of aquariums up to 300 liters in volume. They are divided into two lines. The earlier Turbo 300, 650 and 1000 filters have a nozzle that rotates 160 degrees to adjust the water flow entering the pump. In addition, the set includes a dividing nozzle for directing the outgoing water flow.
In the original design, the container of these models includes zeocarb filler, a mixture of zeolite and activated carbon. Many aquarists recommend changing it after a couple of months of use due to the loss of its properties.

The new Turbo Filter NEW line is designed to improve filter performance and reduce energy consumption. Compared to earlier models, the new filters have a changed head design. The included Aquael Circulator Professional pumps are also sold separately.

Dimensions fully assembled, cm | 8.0x8.0x24 | 8.0x9.0x31 | 8.0x12.0x32.5 | 8.0x12.0x33.0 |
It is possible that the creation of Aquael Circulator pumps was facilitated by the company’s desire for unification of spare parts and multifunctionality. In particular, the impeller included in the Turbo Filter can also be used in the Aqua Jet PFN 1100 fountain pump.
The “heart” of the filters has become much more powerful. The gasket under the impeller chamber significantly reduced friction losses. In addition, the pump was able to operate half submerged in water.
Internal filters Aquael Turbo Filter NEW 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000
The increase in power could not but affect the enlargement of the filter unit. The container of the NEW models has become larger and, in the factory assembly, includes a ceramic filler BIOCERAMAX 600 with an unlimited service life.
Having revealed the details of each line of Turbo internal filters, in conclusion I would like to note the most general points that you should pay attention to.
The advantages of these devices include: reasonable price; quiet operation; modular design, allowing you to add baskets for the substrate, or use the pump separately.
On the other hand, as with any internal filter model on the market, the original layout of the Aquael Turbo filtration unit is very sparse. Despite the increase in container volume in the NEW line, the total volume of filler for mechanical and, especially, biological cleaning is not enough.
When used in aquariums with a high biological load (high planting density, large volume of aquaria), contamination will occur very quickly. The filter will begin to hum and periodically spit out small air bubbles. —— https://www.e1.ru/talk/forum/read.php?f=118&i=205977&t=205977 https://aquael-russia.livejournal.com/22876.html https://www.aqa. ru/forum/AQUAEL-Turbo-Filter-350-brak-ili-u-vseh-tak-194202-page1
