EHEIM biopower

Internal filters are often chosen for their convenience—but most lack the power, bio-capacity, and efficiency of canister filters. The EHEIM biopower series was engineered specifically to solve this problem. By combining the flexibility of modular internal filtration with the performance and biological depth of external filters, biopower brings professional-grade water purification into a compact, easy-to-install internal system.

Whether you keep a planted tank, a cichlid setup, a heavily stocked community aquarium, or a goldfish tank with a high bioload, this internal filter delivers exceptional mechanical, biological, and optional chemical filtration—all in one.

🌊 The Aquaball Concept, Upgraded with External Filter Technology

At the heart of the biopower system is a vertical multi-layer filtration process. Water is drawn in from the bottom and travels upward through multiple closed filter baskets—just like an external canister filter. Each layer performs crucial functions:

• Lower basket: EHEIM SUBSTRATpro for maximum biological filtration

• Inlet basket: A mechanical-biological filter cartridge for capturing debris

• Pumphead holder: A fine filter pad for polishing the water

This layered flow ensures a thorough filtration cycle, resulting in cleaner, clearer, and healthier aquarium water.

🧰 Modular Construction for Total Customization

Biopower is completely modular, allowing you to adjust filter volume and media type based on your aquarium’s needs. Need more biological filtration? Add another basket. Want to reduce flow resistance? Remove one module. The Easy-Klick Locking System lets you attach and detach modules effortlessly.

For even greater capacity, you can extend the filter using ExtensionSET 2—perfect for larger aquariums or tanks with high waste production.

Each module can be cleaned individually, reducing disruption to beneficial bacteria. This ensures better biological stability and more consistent water quality.

💨 Adjustable Oxygen Enrichment with Power Diffusor

Good oxygen levels are essential for fish, shrimp, and beneficial bacteria. The included power diffusor allows you to regulate air intake and boost oxygenation. Adjust the air valve to create fine bubbles or stronger aeration based on stocking density and water temperature.

Alternatively, the diffusor can be swapped for various extension pieces from the EHEIM accessories range to achieve customized water movement.

🔄 Fully Directional Flow Control

The round pumphead sits inside a ball-style socket, giving you complete 360° directional control. You can easily aim the filtered water upward for surface agitation, forward for strong flow, or downward for gentle circulation—ideal for species with specific flow preferences.

The flow rate is easily regulated with a control knob on the outflow nozzle, allowing you to fine-tune circulation for everything from delicate fish to energetic swimmers.

🧪 Ready to Use with Professional-Grade Media

Every biopower unit comes pre-filled with:

• EHEIM SUBSTRATpro for high-performance biological filtration

• Mechanical filter cartridges

• Fine polishing pads

This ensures excellent filtration straight out of the box without needing to buy additional media.

🛡️ Simple Installation and Maintenance

The filter attaches easily using strong suction cups that hold it securely in place. To clean or replace media, simply lift the filter from its holder—no need to detach pipes or dismantle complex parts. Because each basket is sealed, cleaning is clean, quick, and mess-free.

🌱 Ideal for a Wide Range of Aquariums

The biopower filter excels in:

• Freshwater aquariums

• Goldfish tanks

• Heavily stocked community tanks

• Breeding systems

• Cichlid tanks

• Shrimp-safe setups (with sponge pre-filter)

• Planted tanks needing adjustable flow

Its biological strength makes it comparable to canister filters, but with the convenience of an internal design.

💡 Expert Aquarium Tip

For best results with the EHEIM Biopower Filter, combine it with:

• TCWS Water Strips to monitor filtration impact

• TCWS Bio Media for your external or HOB filters

• Maya Algae Cleaning Pads for spotless glass
