Franklin, WI (February 22, 2007) – With innovative Aqueon™ Power Filters, keeping aquarium water clean and fish healthy is easier than ever. Aqueon Power Filters are the only to use a four-stage filtering system with chemical, biological and mechanical components—including a wet/dry array.

The filter's unique wet/dry array provides sufficient surface area to support beneficial bacteria that naturally process ammonia and nitrates. This final stage of the filtration process polishes the water as it passes through the array. This means water is optically clear and oxygenated as it returns to the aquarium.

"The wet/dray array function of the Aqueon filter makes aquarium water healthy for fish," says Paul Andrews, associate brand director. "Designed by expert hobbyists, these filters enhance water quality and clarity, increase oxygen levels and lessen noise. Plus, our increased flow-rates are unmatched in the industry."

Designed for novice to advanced hobbyists, Aqueon Power Filters are equipped with auto-starting internal pumps to operate quietly and add an extra element of safety. With this unique attribute, the pump automatically re-starts the system after power interruptions and eliminates the need for priming.

Customers will also find it simple to choose the appropriate filter for a new aquarium using color-coded packaging that coordinates with the Aqueon aquarium packaging. With high-performance Aqueon Power Filters—it's all about the fish! For more information, please call 1-800-255-4527
