Feedback for Boyu Cannister Filter EF-05

[version79]

Well, I can share abit of trouble shooting knowledge having bought 2 of these units myself..to get it to work.

1) Has to be filled to the very brim before you turn it on
2) Good seal has to be formed by O-RING. For suction and to prevent leakage
3) If the pump is lower than water level you may have to lift the filter initially for the water to run and flow.There after it should pump well.

I agree that the flow isn't good and particles do get stuck in the inlet and outlet piping.But for this price, who can complain?

Hi, I am not sure if this thread is still available, but I recently purchased the Boyu EF05, and the instructions stated not to shorten the tubes/hose. Since I am putting on my table next to my tank, I would like to shorten it. But before I cut it off, is there any reason as to why if is not advised to do so?

hi bros

i am too looking at this boyu mini canister to filter my 1.5ft gex tank. i like it since it has larger media capactiy.
the question is, can it work when place above my tank 35cm higher? cos i want it to be on the top of my tank same with my tec chiller. it needs to be able to pump up 35cm higher to pump into the tec chiller.

thanks

I would advise not to put the canister above your tank. You will have trouble primming the filter and at the same time, the performance of your motor will be affected because it needs to push water up to your canister filter above your tank. My personal opinion.
