Upgrade your aquarium filtration with the AquaReady AF-1, a fully automatic filter roller designed to keep your water cleaner with less maintenance. By advancing fresh filter fleece as it becomes clogged, the AF-1 removes detritus and waste before it can break down, helping maintain crystal-clear water and stable parameters. Its compact footprint fits easily into most sumps, and with a maximum flow rate of 1320 GPH, it handles a wide range of tank sizes with ease. Perfect for both freshwater and saltwater systems, the AF-1 delivers high-volume filtration in a space-saving design. When it's time for a new roll, AquaReady Replacement Fleece Rolls are available to keep your system running at peak performance.
How It Works As water flows through the roller, debris collects on the fleece. When it becomes clogged, the water level inside the unit rises and triggers the float switch. This activates the motor, which automatically advances the roll to reveal fresh fleece.
The used fleece winds up on the take-up spool, eliminating manual cleanup and simplifying your maintenance routine. Connect your aquarium's drain line to the included 1.5 inch PVC elbow, place the unit in a sump with 4 to 6.5 inches of water depth, and use the built-in bracket for easy mounting. The AF-1 is designed for quick setup and seamless operation. 1 roll of filter fleece.
