Chris&Nicole Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi There. I use the internal filter on my Juwel 260L. It has a 1000l/ph powerhead in it. I was just wondering, is it a bad thing if I upgraded this to a 1500L/ph? I am sure that the more it flows through the filter per hour the better it is, but I have read on the Juwel website that it is the slower the better. The only reason I am upgrading is because it is free (Warrantee Claim) and they dont have any 1000L/ph in stock to replace it with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Can't see any major issues with it, as long as the filter will still work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 they are probably meaning slower so there is more contact time 1500lph will be sweet the water mite get less contact time each time it passes thru the filter but it will pass thru the filter more often so no loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yep, you'll have 50% more water flow though, so as long as the fish don't mind the extra current then its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
