What is a prefilter?

- Extended filter lifespan: By reducing the workload on the main filter system, the prefilter extends the lifespan of the filter media, saving you money in the long run.
Compatibility with different filter systems
The Filter Max III prefilter is compatible with most aquarium filter systems, including canister filters, power filters, and hang-on-back filters. It comes in different sizes to fit various intake tube sizes, ensuring a secure and snug fit.
Installation and maintenance
The Filter Max III prefilter is easy to install and maintain. Simply slide it onto the intake tube of your filter system and secure it with the provided clip.
