Good but beware that it may not be a straightforward replacement.
I purchased this filter unit to replace our old Oase Biotec 4 unit that had somehow developed a leak. On unpacking the Hozelock unit I was surprized at how much more flimsy it was compared to the Biotec. We had a few issues setting it up: the outlet pipe needs 40mm hose which has to be clamped into place not fastened via a screw on fishtail. So 40mm hose was needed. The supplied inlet fishtail was a headache. Our old hose, very good quality, not cheapo corrugated stuff, was 25mm. The new Hozelock fishtail inlet was 24.5mm hence a very loose fit that no amount of tightening the clip could seal. Sad. I managed to use the old fishtail but of course the fitting depends on sealing washers not the thin O ring on the Hozelock fishtail. But I managed it. Later research showed that cheaper 25mm hose ... the sort of thinner corrugated black stuff could be clamped to the Hozelock fishtail but I did not want to replace all our old hose. But we managed to fit it using the old Fishtail, but beware that it may not be as straightforward as you expect. On the plus side, filter cleaning seems much easier. And the filter is pretty efficient.Read full review...
