Comes with 3 White filter pads, 1 Blue coarse pad and 2 set of filter media Review: A good filter for the price - Comparable to FX6 with a good filter volume and flow rate. The advantage over the FX 6 is the variable pump speed and the price. So far it’s working brilliant. My only suggestion will be to not use the built in UV as it may degrade the plastic and can cause leak in the long run. ## Features - Adjustable flow rate: up to 1200 gallons per hour (4600Lph) - Smart digital controller that allows users to adjust the flow rate of the pump and the duration of the UV light - Included 9W UV sterilizer help control Free floating bacteria and algae which is perfect for maintaining a clean and clear aquarium - Easy to start, no priming necessary, Simply add water and turn on the power. - Comes with 3 White filter pads, 1 Blue coarse pad and 2 set of filter media ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | SunSun | | Model Number | HW-5000W | | Color | White | | Product Dimensions | 45.72 x 45.72 x 48.26 cm; 8.16 kg | | Item Weight | 8.16 Kilograms | ## Images ![SunSun Sun HW-5000 UV 9W 4-Stage External Canister Filter w/Media, 1215Gph - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gTTCKVoOL.jpg) ![SunSun Sun HW-5000 UV 9W 4-Stage External Canister Filter w/Media, 1215Gph - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41fWKS-huVL.jpg) ![SunSun Sun HW-5000 UV 9W 4-Stage External Canister Filter w/Media, 1215Gph - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41BZLuQk5lL.jpg) ![SunSun Sun HW-5000 UV 9W 4-Stage External Canister Filter w/Media, 1215Gph - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31mvir5cC8L.jpg) ![SunSun Sun HW-5000 UV 9W 4-Stage External Canister Filter w/Media, 1215Gph - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/413lQg0NDZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good filter for the price *by F***Z on 1 December 2022* Comparable to FX6 with a good filter volume and flow rate.
