Pump output, filter circulation and maximum flow are measured in different ways. Your filter will move less water than the box says once media and hoses are in. Measure it with the flow calculator.
Before choosing this model
- Confirm exact SKU 100552233.
- Do not backfill flow or watts from an older QuietFlow or QuietFlow LED PRO family.
- Allow for the taller published height (6.4 in) where a lid or hood sits close.
What Aqueon doesn’t publish
- Aqueon doesn’t publish the flow rate or the electrical ratings. Don’t compare its flow or running cost with a model that has published figures.
- Aqueon doesn’t publish one height for this filter: 6.4 in on the product page, 5¼ in in its 2026 catalog. Leave room for the taller figure under a lid or hood.
