HW302 (264gph, up to 75 gallon) HW303 (370gph, up to 100 gallons) HW304 (525gph, up to 150 gallons) Review: Great for turtles - Previously, I had this filter set up with a 20 gallon tall aquarium. This is my 4th shot at a filter for my two baby turtles, which all failed miserably. I also tried the zenblue canister before this and I couldn't even get it started up. This one was easy. It came with media and filter pads and I've set it up as follows: Bottom layer, heavy particle blue pad then white pad. Second, bio media. Third, white pad and purigen. I had my tank close to the floor with the filter right beside it. I soaked the hoses in the bathtub with hot water to make them less ridged and adjusted the length, which is a must. I filled it with water and hit the priming button a few times, plugged it in...after about 30 seconds and some bubble sputtering, it started flowing and smoothed out. No issues at all. Very quiet. I checked it out after the first 5 days, and it was definitely doing its job. My water was a little cloudy due to my filter struggles, but no longer the smelly light tea color. After cleaning out the filter, day 6 showed perfectly clear water. Really impressed. The really great thing about this filter is that you can add your own media. Not having to buy specific filter cartridges is really great. After a lot of research, I found you can keep this thing running pretty cheap. After 14 months the filter is still functioning great. I have since upgraded my tank to a 55 gallon and the water is just as clean as it was in the 20 gallon. Two of the four clips that hold down the side did break off, but it is not affecting the performance of the filter, and the top seals well by just pushing it on, kind of like a vacuum pressure. Also, the plastic tab at the hose input/output connection snapped off, but there is still enough left for me to unhook it. Yes the plastic seems extremely cheap, however the filter itself works very well. I'm still amazed at the difference this filter made compared to other brands that I had used. The water is clear and smell free, and I only clean the filter once a month. Which for turtles, is saying something. Review: Way better than I expected for the price!!! - Let me start of by saying I've started in the aquarium hobby in 1982 and have kept fish (fresh and salt) continuously since then. I am currently a breeder. I have always been some what of a "filter snob" . I ONLY USE EHEIM canister filters. I have owned several and currently own 2 X 2215's (yes they're old but they're EHEIM's and they still work great. I have started breeding Super Red Bristlenose Pleco's. If you have never had these I can't convey how much they poop! I had one of my Eheim 2215's on a 15 gallon grow out tank trying to keep it clean. I had to clean it once a week because of the zucchini "stuff" in the water from feeding. I set up a 20 gallon breeding tank for the adults. I moved the 2215 over to it. Again, I have to service it weekly or it completely clogs up. Decide to try one of these "SunSun" canister filters back on the 15 gallon. I read the instructions, installed the hoses and media as required, hooked it all up, plugged it in and IT WORKED PERFECTLY. No leaks, no noise, and a the next morning the tank was crystal clear. I let it run for almost a month before I noticed the output slowing down A LITTLE. Decided to clean it today. WOW! It was full of "stuff". The "toggle" release for the hoses was great and removing the trays to clean the individual media was very easy. Filled up the canister before reconnecting the hoses, pumped the "prime button" and it took off running again. VERY pleased with it's performance so far and will be ordering another one this week. I read all of the Pro and Con reviews before ordering and said "for $50 I can't replace the hoses and connectors on 1 of my Eheims so what do I have to lose?" Maybe I just got lucky and got a "good" one. Don't know, don't care. I'm still going to order another one :-). Will it keep a 75 gallon clean? Probably not. I would think MAYBE a 55 AT MOST but for anything smaller it works way better than I expected for the price! A good bargain! ## Features - Hw-302 Pro filtration kit, good for up to 75 gallon aquariums - Flow rate: 265 GPH (1000L/hr) - Dimension: 9" L x 9" W x 15. 5" H - Pro kit includes Canister Filter, 3 White filter pads and 3 Media baskets - Includes 1lb of premium filter Carbon, 1lb of Ceramic rings and 1 set of Bio balls ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00MGX7JXA | | ASIN | B00MGX7JXA | | Best Sellers Rank | #120,820 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #574 in Aquarium Filters | | Brand Name | SunSun | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,536) | | Date First Available | August 6, 2014 | | External Testing Certification | NSF | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00680596396482 | | Included Components | Filter, Media kits, accessories | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9"D x 9"W x 15.5"H | | Item Type Name | Aquarium Canister Filter | | Item Weight | 12 Pounds | | Item model number | HW302PRO | | Manufacturer | SunSun | | Manufacturer | SunSun | | Manufacturer Part Number | HW302PRO | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 180-day | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | HW302PRO | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Efficient multi-stage filtration for a healthy aquatic environment | | Product Dimensions | 9 x 9 x 18 inches; 12 Pounds | | Set Name | Set | | UPC | 680596396482 651046603795 | | Unit Count | 1 Ounce | ## Product Details - **External Testing Certification:** NSF - **Item Weight:** 12 Pounds - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Benefits:** Efficient multi-stage filtration for a healthy aquatic environment - **Product Dimensions:** 9"D x 9"W x 15.5"H ## Images ![SunSun Hw302 265GPH Pro Canister Filter Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ar3JgOkiL.jpg) ![SunSun Hw302 265GPH Pro Canister Filter Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610eWvkZhxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you use this filter for lower water level tanks such as turtle tanks?** A: I use this in my 55 gal turtle tank which has about 7" of water in it. I had to tape up the intake pipe joints to reduce air leaks and I had to manually prime the intake line to get it to start but it does work fine once the siphon gets started. I'm going to drill the tank below the water level and convert it to gravity fed because it's a real pain to get started due to the vertical distance the water has to travel to leave the tank. **Q: Can I use this on a 45g reef tank** A: Yes. I'm putting it on my 55 gallon reef. **Q: Can I use this in a half full tank? I have a 20gallon long breeder tank a little over half full, about 11 or 12 gallons** A: There is plenty of power in the pump but you will have to make some modifications to the fittings in order to extend the height in the tank. I set mine up for turtles and was able to get the water level 5 inches below the rim with the firings provided. **Q: Will this be good in a 40 gallon breeder tank ? With sand ? Or should I just stick with 2 power filters** A: I have two of these filters and I use one in a 55 gallon tank with pea gravel and it works perfectly. The other I use in a 100 gallon indoor pond and the water is crystal clear. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for turtles *by M***Y on January 17, 2015* Previously, I had this filter set up with a 20 gallon tall aquarium.

A good bargain! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome filter for 40 gallons or less. 4 Stars because of overstated GPH. *by R***Y on August 11, 2025* I bought this to replace a HW-304B that I had for 4 years running 24/7. It was a great filter and gave me no problems until recently when the gasket failed. I bought this smaller unit mainly because of my budget and the fact that I only have a 40 gallon tank. Setup was super easy as everything needed is included. I just cut the tubing to length with a PVC pipe cutter and reused my old media. The only issue is the stated GPH. According to my little test run and limited math, I calculated that at 4ft head height and the canister loaded with filters and media. I get about 140 GPH from this unit. So, if you have a 40 gallon tank filled with rock and sand, this filter is just big enough. Assuming you’re aiming to cycle 4 times your tank volume per hour. Small tip: fill the canister with tank water before connecting everything and use the lubricant it comes with, it makes connecting the tubing a lot easier. ## Frequently Bought Together - SunSun Hw302 265GPH Pro Canister Filter Kit, white - 9 Piece Set - AQUANEAT Replacement Canister Filter Pads Compatible with SUNSUN HW-302 Aquarium Filter Media Sponge Floss - SunSun Sun CBR Canister Filter Media Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8512475-sunsun-hw302-265gph-pro-canister-filter-kit](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/8512475-sunsun-hw302-265gph-pro-canister-filter-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
