The Simpletec power filter from Fluval is an interesting new aquarium device that can turn heads with its looks alone. Clean and simple lines make the Simpletec a looker but what’s really novel about the new power filter is the built-in backwashing capability which allows for cleaning of the specially designed ceramic balls with the turn of a knob.
The waste from the backwashed media is directed out of the aquarium for even simplified water changes which is essence, a concentrated water change. The Simpletec is designed for aquariums up to 50 gallons and it forms the heart of the new larger line of Fluval Edge aquariums and there’s even a dedicated chamber within which a Fluval Heater can be placed for even more seamless integration in aquarium use.
