Aquael Ultramax 2000

Recognition among aquarists worldwide

The Ultramax aquarium filter has been available in our range for many years. We consistently receive positive feedback from the market and messages from satisfied customers who praise the filter’s performance, reliability and user-friendliness. It is these features that have made Ultramax such a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts all over the world.

Patented solutions

ULTRAMAX is characterised by its large filter mass. Patented solutions such as the prefilter, the double ball valve system and the self-priming filter system guarantee user comfort and high filtration performance.

Double ball valve system

Aquarists know that a critical stage of work requiring access to the inside of the filter is usually the disconnection of the inlet and outlet hoses from the unit. The remaining water in the filter usually spills out onto the floor, which causes justifiable irritation. To avoid this, a patented double ball valve system was used. They simultaneously close the filter inlet and outlet in the lid and the hoses and block uncontrolled escape of water.

Self-priming system

All you need to do is make 2 to 4 movements with the piston and that’s it. The filter will be flooded with aquarium water. Easy?

Smooth performance regulation

Controlling the performance of the filter is extremely simple and intuitive. To do this you simply need to turn the small lever of the right valve. It is convenient to use and clearly labelled, making performance regulation easy for aquarists, even when done for the first time.

Effective

A large number of filter cartridges housed in baskets of 1.9 litres each provide effective mechanical and biological filtration. The number of baskets ranges from 3 to 5, which, in combination with the prefilter capacity, offers a total capacity of 6.3 to 10.10 litres for filter media.

Discreet

The well-thought-out design of the pump impeller and its chambers as well as the ceramic impeller axis ensure almost inaudible operation of the filter, so you can put the aquarium even in your bedroom or the room where you are working.

Low electric power consumption

All ULTRAMAX filter models are characterised by very low electric power consumption. The ULTRAMAX 1000 has a wattage of only 15 W, the ULTRAMAX 1500 – 16 W and the ULTRAMAX 2000 – 24 W. Thanks to the modifications of the filters, the 2000 model produced from 8 September 2023 onwards has had its energy consumption reduced by almost 30% and is currently only 17 W.

Choose your ULTRAMAX

There are three models in the line, varying in performance. Choose the one best suited to the needs of your aquarium: ULTRAMAX 1000 is designed for tanks up to 300 litres, ULTRAMAX 1500 up to 450 litres and ULTRAMAX 2000 up to 700 litres.

Filtration and prefiltration

A large number of filter cartridges housed in baskets of 1.9 litres each provide effective mechanical and biological filtration. The number of baskets, depending on the model chosen, ranges from 3 to 5. A built-in sponge prefilter with a capacity of approximately 0.6 litres, captures coarser mechanical contaminants, preventing them from reaching the interior of the filter. This ensures excellent filtration efficiency and also protects the unit from clogging. What’s more, cleaning the prefilter is very easy and does not even require the filter to be unplugged or removed from the cabinet. All you have to do is lift the lid, remove the sponge from the basket and rinse it under running water.
