Aquael UNIFILTER 500 UV POWER internal filter
Model: UNIFILTER 500 UV POWER
Aquael's US-localized UNIFILTER UV page identifies Art. nr. 107402 and says NOT AVAILABLE IN USA YET. The linked multilingual manual supplies generic family instructions; neither source establishes a current US seller, retail package or electrical edition.
This model lookup is separate from the questionnaire shortlist. It does not certify that this model meets your selected requirements.
The 500 is the smallest UNIFILTER UV size in Aquael's localized table: an internal unit with two serviceable sponges, adjustable outflow and an integrated UV LED module. Aquael's page says NOT AVAILABLE IN USA YET, so this is a model identification lookup, not a current US purchase recommendation.

Documented model details
- The localized page pairs 26–52 US gallons with 100–200 L and lists 500 L/h maximum flow; these are maker labels, not a stocking rating or measured circulation.
- The internal unit has two separate sponge cartridges, adjustable output and a direction-adjustable return; Aquael recommends alternating sponge service.
- The page describes an integrated UV LED module that can be switched independently of filtration. The manual's safety notes say to keep it inside its housing and avoid looking into the lit LEDs.
- The page lists 5 W and dimensions of 2.3 × 3.9 × 8.7 inches; the generic manual gives a 10 cm maximum immersion depth for the 500.
Limits to weigh
- Aquael says NOT AVAILABLE IN USA YET; no current US retail offer, box contents, plug or electrical supply is verified.
- The linked manual lists 150–200 L and 6 W, differing from the localized page's 100–200 L and 5 W. The localized values are reported as that page's claims, not silently blended with the manual.
- No minimum flow, independent performance test, high-waste suitability or numeric media-basket volume is documented.
- The UV description does not establish disease treatment or guaranteed water clearing, and the manual warns of eye/skin exposure risk.
Check before ordering
- Verify the exact name UNIFILTER 500 UV POWER and Art. nr. 107402; do not substitute the 750/1000 or a non-UV UNIFILTER model.
- Check the actual item plate, supply, box contents and included UV module; the manual's 220–240 V / 50 Hz data do not confirm a US electrical version.
- Measure the in-tank body and waterline placement, leaving space for the aeration regulator and for removal of the two sponges.
- Confirm the correct replacement sponge/module and actual maintenance instructions before relying on a future listing.
