Anyone else have a problem with it backing up? After a few days, the water ends up overflowing and going back out the way it is sucked up-leaving it unfiltered.
Answer by • Mar 28, 2018
There are a few ways to troubleshoot your filter. Unplug your Tetra Whisper filter from the outlet and carefully pull it free of the aquarium. Examine the intake strainer and make sure it is not broken or damaged. Carefully remove the intake strainer from the intake tube. Check the tube for debris and clear anything you find. Pour the water out of the back of the filter. Pull out the old filter and replace it with a fresh new one, then carefully place the filter back on your aquarium. Fill the back of the filter up with water that is roughly the same temperature as the water in the tank. After the back reservoir is filled to the top, plug the filter in and listen for the motor. After a couple seconds the motor should come on and you should see water begin to flow. If water is not flowing the motor may be damaged.
Is this a gentle water flow? I want to use it for a betta tank, but I know they don't like hard flowing water.

This filter would be suitable for a betta in a 10-15 gallon tank, however, pet parents of betta fish that have used this tank in smaller gallon set-ups have reported too much movement in the water. Tetra recommends that fish parents with smaller betta set-ups opt for the Tetra Whisper 2 -10 Gallon Depth Power Filter instead.
About how loud is this filter when in the tank?
Answer by • Aug 06, 2019
The Tetra Whisper Power Filter is made with silence in mind. Pet parents have reported this filter to be as quiet as a running ceiling fan.
how often should you replace filter media ?
Answer by • May 22, 2019
When water flows excessively from the Wonder Tube Chamber into the aquarium, it is time to change the Bio-Bag. The Bio-Bag should be changed once per month to prevent backflow and avoid filtration problems resulting from a clogged Bio-Bag.
