Powerful, silent, and highly advanced, Professional 2.0 by Hydor is the external filter for freshwater and marine aquariums, also ideal for turtle tanks, designed to ensure always clean and crystal-clear water. Thanks to an advanced 4-stage filtration system, which combines different filter media for effective and balanced purification, the Professional 2.0 external filter guarantees maximum efficiency in removing impurities, harmful substances, and organic waste, promoting a healthy aquatic environment for fish, plants, and turtles.

The 4-stage filtration system ensures complete water treatment:
Mechanical filtration with a high-porosity sponge, ideal for trapping debris and suspended impurities in the water.
Biological filtration through porous sintered quartz rings, which provide a large surface area for the proliferation of beneficial bacteria.
Optional chemical filtration, thanks to a dedicated compartment that allows customization of water purification with activated carbon, useful for removing odors, dyes, and medication residues, or zeolite, which helps reduce and control ammonia levels, particularly recommended for new aquariums.
Fine filtration with microporous filter floss, designed to trap even the smallest particles and further enhance water clarity.

All filter media are included, except for chemical filter media (activated carbon or zeolite), which can be chosen based on specific needs. The design of this external filter for aquariums ensures maximum practicality and safety during maintenance. The anti-flooding system prevents any accidental water leakage during maintenance, ensuring maximum security. The removable valve unit allows for simple and intuitive management: just shut off the water flow and operate the release lever to separate the filter from the aquarium, avoiding the need to empty pipes and the tank, making periodic cleaning faster and more effective.

The high-efficiency motor ensures quiet operation and low energy consumption, providing high performance with a reduced environmental impact for more sustainable fishkeeping over time.

The Professional 2.0 external filter integrates innovative technology that enables a quick and effortless start-up thanks to the dual self-priming system:
- Electronic with touch button: Pressing the button automatically draws water from the aquarium until the filter body is completely filled, thus starting the filtration process without manual intervention.
- Manual with integrated pump: Ideal in case of power outages or during maintenance. Hidden under the filter cover, the system allows manual activation of the filling process via a priming pump. Once the filter body is completely filled, water will flow back into the aquarium, and the system will be fully operational.

Additionally, the filter is equipped with an internal CO2 diffuser, ensuring uniform distribution of carbon dioxide throughout the aquarium to promote plant growth without the need for external devices. Simply connect the CO2 cylinder directly to the integrated connector, eliminating the need for bulky accessories and maintaining a clean aquarium setup.

The heater compartment allows water to be heated directly inside the filter, optimizing space inside the tank for a tidier and more natural environment.

Available in three models to meet different needs, Professional 2.0 offers maximum versatility for aquariums of various sizes, ensuring crystal-clear water and a healthy and well-balanced aquatic habitat.
