Instructions

'Maintaining your Filtration System

Changing the Filter Cartridge: 1. Open the system's Carbon Filter Access Door and lift out Carbon Filter Carrier. 2. Hold Carbon Filter Carrier above Carbon Filter Access Door for a few seconds to drain water. Then invert Carbon Filter Carrier at a 45-degree angle and carry to waste bin. 3. Squeeze Carbon Filter Carrier Handle to drop dirty Carbon Filter Cartridge into waste bin. 4. Insert clean Carbon Filter Cartridge into Carbon Filter Carrier (blue-colored floss should face the front). Drop Carbon Filter Carrier into system and close Carbon Filter Access Door.

Cleaning the Bio-Scrubber Insert: Note: Do not dispose of the Bio-Scrubber Insert unless it is damaged. It is a permanent part of the filtration system and not meant to be replaced or disturbed. If your Bio-Scrubber Insert should ever become clogged as evidenced by restricted water flow or water flowing over the top of the Bio-Scrubber Insert, follow the procedure below.

Remove the system's Hood and remove the Bio-Scrubber Insert.
Gently rinse the Bio-Scrubber Insert under cool water to dislodge clogs. Do not use soap or any other cleaner. Note: Do not remove the beneficial bacteria growing on the Bio-Scrubber Insert. These bacteria turn toxins into harmless comlbs.
Re-insert Bio-Scrubber Insert and snap system Hood back into place.

Attach strainer (and extension tubes, if necessary) so that strainer will be no closer than 2 inches to aquarium gravel once the system is hanging on aquarium frame.
Hang system on aquarium frame. Be sure aquarium water is at or above the minimum water level indicated on system's motor assembly.
Once system is properly in place, plug filtration system into outlet being sure to arrange a drip loop with the power cord.
Squeeze start button on Time strip® and place it in compartment on filter hood so that the white area shows through the window. The bottom of the white timeline will darken approximately 30 seconds after activation. (Important: If bottom of timeline does not darken, then the Time strip® has not been activated and you need to squeeze the button against)

Questions & Answers

22 Customer Questions

I have a genius question, I would think it important to the customer to know how many filters are in the box?

Answer by • Jul 28, 2017

This listing is for the filter itself and 1 filter comes in the box. There will be a 1-month supply of the carbon inserts--1 or 2 inserts depending on the filter size you purchase. Replacement Tetra Aquarium Carbon Filter inserts are sold separately in 2 or 4 count boxes as listed.

Can I use this filter for my turtle?

Answer by • Jul 11, 2017

This filter can be used with turtles, however, the water level must be high enough for the filter to work.

Could I use this filter for my 20 gallon tank or would the intake be too long?

Answer by • Oct 17, 2017

The Tetra Whisper EX Power Filter is available for 20-30 gallon tanks and would absolutely work.

How would this fliter be with frogs?

Answer by • Dec 28, 2017

This filter is gentle enough for frogs, just make sure the water is reaching the minimum water line for the filter to pump properly.

Good job filtering, but noisy

Title says it all. I installed on a 40 gallon tank that's in our bedroom. It keeps the water crystal clear, but it is definitely not "whisper" quiet! Today, I ordered another eheim canister filter to replace it because I can't deal with the motor noise while trying to sleep. We have an eheim canister on the other tank in our bedroom and it is much quieter. I'm going to use the tetra whisper on our quarantine tank that's in another room. This filter would be great in a room where the extra noise isn't a problem.

It’s a really nice filter

I really like this filter it’s easy to use and runs nice the only thing would be that pressure can put ur fish at unease for a while

Stopped working after a month

Just stopped working out of no where. Walked past the tank one day and realized it wasn’t making any noises. I just bought it a month ago. Not recommended for a 50 gallon tank.

Tetra Whisper %5 Gallon Filtration

My review is based on past experience. This one is replacing the one that wore out, but at this time I am unable to install it (no fish there) as workers are currently here, but Believe it will operate perfectly.
