SUNSUN YWY-800 Canister Filter

Reliable External Filtration Solution

The SunSun YWY-800 Canister Filter is designed for aquarium and pond setups that demand effective, low-maintenance external filtration. With a substantial flow rate, modest power draw and easy-access canister design, it provides a strong foundation for clean, healthy aquatic environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• High flow capacity: Delivers approximately 800 L/hour, ensuring strong water turnover and efficient filtration.
• Energy-efficient motor: Operates at about 18 W, helping keep electric usage and heat output low.
• Lift capability: Supports up to roughly 2 metres of head lift, making it suitable for setups with height or sump placement differences.
• External canister design: Keeps filtration media and mechanics outside the tank, preserving internal aquascape aesthetics and simplifying maintenance.
• Suitable for aquariums and ponds: Versatility for freshwater, planted tanks, or pond setups requiring strong filtration performance.

Usage & Setup Tips

• Position the canister filter on a sturdy surface below or beside the tank; ensure all hoses are properly sealed and routed.
• Ensure the intake and output hoses are securely connected; minimize kinks or sharp bends to preserve flow rate.
• During start-up, prime the filter (fill the canister and hoses with water) to avoid dry running.
• Include a combination of mechanical (filter sponge/floss) and biological (bio-media) inside for best results; schedule periodic cleaning of media without fully replacing to retain beneficial bacteria.
• Monitor flow, noise and water clarity; reduced flow may signal media clogging or pump issues — clean accordingly.
