Aquarium filter Kinvara TN-44802, ABS housing with polyester sponge, activated carbon and ceramic media, 100×90×340 mm

Internal aquarium filter Kinvara TN-44802 is a compact filtration unit with an ABS housing sized 100×90×340 mm. It combines mechanical, chemical and biological media in a single cartridge: a polyester sponge for trapping debris, activated carbon for adsorption of dissolved organics and odors, and ceramic rings for supporting nitrifying bacteria. The filter is intended for continuous circulation to remove suspended particles, reduce odors and support the biological conversion of ammonia in small to medium freshwater aquariums.

Advantages

The ABS housing provides durable, corrosion-resistant protection while remaining lightweight. Layered media allow staged filtration—coarse and fine particles are intercepted by the polyester sponge, dissolved contaminants and discoloration are reduced by activated carbon, and ceramic rings increase surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization. The compact form factor and integrated media make installation and routine maintenance straightforward.

Suitable for

• Small to medium freshwater aquariums
• Community tanks with low to moderate bioload
• Beginner setups requiring simple internal filtration
• Temporary filtration during maintenance or quarantine

Key specifications

• Housing material: ABS plastic
• Filtration media: polyester sponge, activated carbon, ceramic rings
• Dimensions: 100 × 90 × 340 mm
• Filtration stages: mechanical, chemical, biological
• Design: internal circulation filter for continuous operation

How to use

Install the filter inside the aquarium according to the included mounting guidance, ensuring the unit is fully submerged and positioned to promote even water flow through the media. Connect to power following electrical safety practices for aquarium equipment. Rinse the polyester sponge gently in dechlorinated water before first use and replace the activated carbon according to water quality changes. Monitor flow and water clarity regularly and perform media maintenance as needed to maintain effective filtration.

Usage recommendations

For stable biological filtration, avoid cleaning all media at once; rinse the sponge and ceramic rings in aquarium water and replace activated carbon on a schedule based on odor or discoloration. Ensure the unit remains submerged and protected from direct splash to the power connection. Match the filter capacity to aquarium volume and bioload to maintain water clarity and healthy conditions for fish.
