Quality


Nice quiet filter i would change the media you get with the product to some ceramic rings and a good sponge

A little noisy with the lid on but it’s bearable for me

Packaging/appearance


I rinse and reuse the filter with nonchlorinated water and only replace it every two or three months if needed
