I've owned mine for over a year now. My original was a perfect running machine and quiet as a mouse. I had a small problem with a lid fastener getting stuck when I did filter maintenance 6 months later and the agent replaced the entire thing with another unit. Had a few issues with the new unit while it was "breaking in" but it's been running smooth-as since a month after I got it. These units have simplified my water changes tremendously and I recommend them fully. The flow rate is amazing.

i have two of them, they dont come with media, so i bought some of the ehiem ball media

havent had any trouble with both of them, only thing i found is that the polishing pads they make for them gets clogged very quickly and it makes the output very slow

Hi

I was a bit disapointed tho that for the price they do not come with any media.

i got one of my ones for $390 on trademe brand new with extra sponge set...you just have to shop around

Are the polishing pads extras that can be purchased separately or are they an integral part of the filter?

they are a add on media, about $10
