As the best selling power filter in the United States, a Whisper power filter is one of the most reliable, functional, effective, and cost-friendly aquarium filters on the market. If you're looking at starting up an aquarium between the sizes of 2 gallons and 60 gallons, a Whisper power filter may be exactly what you need to achieve the highest-standards of mechanical, chemical and biological filtration.
A Whisper power filter comes in one of five models, the Whisper Power Filter PF-10 (for aquariums ranging from 2 gallons in size to 10 gallons), the PF-20 (for aquariums up to 20 gallons in size), the PF-30 (up to 30 gallon tanks), the PF-40 (for up to 40 gallon tanks), and, finally, the Whisper Power Filter PF-60 (designed to be used on large aquariums, up to 60 gallons in size). These are just general sizing guidelines, however; if you have an aquarium with a lot of plants and aquatic life, it's recommended that you purchase the next size up.
Regardless of the model, each and every Whisper power filter product features the highest-quality filtration in three areas:
- Mechanical. The filter removes standard negative items from the tank, such as waste, uneaten food, plant remains, etc. This is the basis of a good filtration system, in that it provides the most basic of filtration. Mechanical filtration is the first step in obtaining a fresh, healthy, and clean aquarium water supply.
- Chemical. A proprietary active carbon system removes odors and discolorations from your aquarium's water supply-an important step toward maintaining the safest supplemental and chemical water levels for your fish.
- Biological. Eliminates harmful toxins by encouraging the growth of helpful bacteria in your tank's water. While the effects of biological filtration isn't always seen to the naked eye, it's a crucial step toward maintaining a happy, healthy home aquarium.
They obtain such high quality filtration with the Whisper power filter exclusive Bio-Bag filter cartridges (available in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes), which are filled with patented ultra-activated carbon, and are effective and easy to change out. The Bio-Bag filter cartridge is easy to insert into the power filter, and is disposable-making maintenance hassle-free. Bio-Bag filter cartridges need only to be changed once a month and/or once your power filter begins to cause a bit of water overflow.
Whisper power filters and the accompanying Bio-Bag filter cartridges are made and distributed by the popular Tetra company, a world-leading supplier of aquatic equipmentand supplies, as well as books on fish and aquariums.
