Sicce WHALE Canister filters are a compact and versatile filtration option and are excellent for small systems where a full sump filtration system isn’t practical, or where there is a need for additional temporary filtration capacity, such as a mechanical or chemical media water polishing. The Sicce WHALE’s canister design allows for large media volume capacity in a small space and the quick disconnects and removable media baskets make for easy maintenance. These canister filters come complete with all necessary tubing and connectors, media baskets and heavy duty locking clips.
