DIY External Filter Using Two Plastic Jars Like Canister Filter

Hot to make aquarium external filter using two jars like Canister filter.
Subscribe : goo.gl/J4sgjG
In this video you will see two filter constructions with the same material. What is different is only in the input and output sections.
First, the filter media is placed in the inlet while the submersible pump is placed in the outlet section. Power head works to take (suck) water from containers that have filter media.
Second, the filter media is placed in the outlet section and the pump is placed in the outlet section. Power head works to push water into the container with filter media.
NOTE:
This is just an experiment, you can change all filter media and their arrangement based on your experience and your own method.
Materials needed:
1. Plastic jars
2. Aquarium transparent pipe
3. Pipe and hose connector
4. Ring verlop
5. Plastic hose
6. Duck end connector
7. Seal tape (Optional)
8. Submersible power head Yamana WP-77 (220-240 VAC/ 600L/H 5 Watt
9. Epoxy glue (strong and waterproof)
10.Plastic faucet

Thanks Bro..

[@poppaluv]

You made too much work for yourself. The pump in the tank with a prefilter would eliminate the need for the entire first container.

I love this build and how you can see inside everything....It would be no mystery when you needed to clean it and i just love to see what's inside things and how they work!!! Great job

[@HasnahKamilah]

I will try to clarify on next video tutorial so people don't think there is anything hidden (without mystery). Thanks bro.

this is a great concept. .can extend as many jars as you want according to your need

Ini pasti channel org Indonesia, tutorialnya sgt bermanfaat 👍

Foi o melhor video de filtro caseiro que ja vi ate hoje!!

[@petercope6474]

this is a great idea , I am sure a lot of people will be trying this out on there own setups great job thanks.

[@michaelguzman3766]

Love this filter. I will try it with bigger jars. New subscriber here!

[@rajan196207]

Thanks a lot buddy. Matter of fact, I personally prefer the first method. I think it's more viable than the 2nd one....as far the end result and force are concerned.

[@tjversus]

Le parecerá una tontería pero estoy muy nostálgica y sus manos son igual de creativas como eran las de mi papito. Me encanto su video muy explicativo gracias

[@RSP190166]

Nnice one and one can add more jars for better filtration. Great vid and well thought out for direction.

[@TexMexJoe]

Great job. You nearly doubled the water by maybe a quart or another litter. I believe the first one is better than the second cause the first one looks like it's creating negative pressure so there is less chance of a leak while the second one is creating positive pressure and might lead to a premature leak.

[@zaykie6905]

You are the best bro of all diy 😁

[@najumudeensamsudeen7086]

Superb bro I'm going to try this

[@makedonmend7163]

Why not just have the pump directly into the water and then will only need to use the one filter jar ??? Lot less work and expense

[@garykreeger8244]

Nice concept for a DIY filter. Might I suggest one larger canister containing everything to reduce risk of leak or failure with two canisters, and needing to join them together.

[@HasnahKamilah]

Maybe what you mean is this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJangYFmi8SUjKM. Thanks for your good advice.

[@NightFlight1973]

Funny, my laptop speakers totally misses the bass line in the music track. Here is a free tip. I would suggest you put the power head output as the last thing in line to the outlet pipe. This pulls in the water from the tank and keeps negative pressure in the system reducing stress and possibility of leak when media clogging occurs. As for flow, the water should come in at the base of the unit, put standoffs and bioballs as a primary sludge settlement. Above the standoff section, coarse, medium and fine pad. Last in the path should be your biological before the water is pushed out the outlet. Biological media should always have just mechanically filtered water hitting it. Cool though. Where did find the connectors, adapters, pipes and pump?

[@HasnahKamilah]

Very good advice. I will try at home to practice your method. Thank you very much.

[@drishratdar]

Excellent piece of work. Compliments to you. I would like to replicate it and see how it works in practice. Thanks Hasanah.

[@s.b9003]

Why not pushing the water on second jar and it will come from first jar. And power head will be on aquarium... Can this work ? 😢

[@AOnecookingTips]

Nic video brother 🙏🇮🇳

[@dominickd.2096]

Muy bueno like👍

[@santosomj]

In first model If inlet changed on top first jar and connector of two jars changed on bottom, can the water circulate?

[@jyotishbordoloi7722]

Good DIY..... Keep it up 👍

[@terra2468]

great filter, could you please write the thread,.connector and hose size/ diameter? thank you

[@wolvessavior]

The only issue with this filter is if in a fishtank with detritus/sand etc the unfiltered water goes through the pump and then to the filtering media, something simple to protect the pump would be a small wall dividing the inlet connection and the pump and adding mechanical filtration before water is received into pump. this would allow the second outlet jar to house more biological media or more mechanical to polish the water.

[@HasnahKamilah]

Thank you for your good method. I will try then...

[@josequins9099]

good idea but 1 doubt 1 how to pull water in fish tank to filter box without motor 2 filter box to fish tank pushing water in with motor how to circulate water (in and out) in motor please explain

[@wenhan8891]

this idea is nice but very hard to wash filter

[@adiofficial3309]

Itu sebetulnya 1 tabung saja tapi tabungnya yg agak tinggi lagi biar lebih banyak nampung media filter nya, & head pump nya dlm aquarium nyedot air didorong ke lubang bawah tabung dan outputnya lubang atas yg pipanya menuju aquarium jadi tidak kebanyakan pipa yg terpasang & kelihatan lebih Ringkas, tapi media filter terpenuhi spt bio ring, bio ball, karbon aktif, bio form, & Jap mat, kapas masing2 1 lembar jadi 1 tabung, cuma Pipa bening input & output yg ditabung nya saya buat permanen krn saya Lem pvc, terus kritik saya tabung satunya itu hanya terisi air yg nandon (tanpa diapa apain) kemudian disedot langsung dikeluarkan ke aquarium, maaf saya bukan menggurui tapi saya hanya beri saran sesuai apa yg saya punyai malah tabung plastik yg saya pakai bekas teko air minum yg tinggi kira2 40cm diameter 15cm saya umpetin dibelakang aquarium..

[@vishalpawar8.6.86]

i used 2 jar as you shown i did same water flow from pump is working ok. but in 2nd jar water not come to fill from tank 1 jar for filter water from pump to tank 2 jar tank to jar but water not coming from tank why.? what to do .? outlet work but inlet not in outlet jar faucet is it complsory.? i not kept faucet is it due to.?

[@henizguderian5765]

I would have one jar chemical (sponge) and the other on biological (bioballs/bio rings) please try this idea

[@ravindradevrukhkar4524]

Es main konsa machine lagta hai

In the first version (9:18) of the connection, the water flow is greater than in the second (9:57)! !

[@SradanBirininGunlugu]

Good point

[@danieltubrother49]

What is the faucet for ??

[@JowshUKproductions]

Great video and idea ! My only concern is it would be difficult to clean the media (when needed)

[@charistech]

@@quantumhelix8668 i was thinking the other day to go completely to another level. Like mold and resin a strong bucket for DIY filter. Try to go full way proffesional filter

[@charistech]

@@quantumhelix8668 the 2 reasons i can think for anyone to do a DIY filter is to either make it cheap and affordable and the second reason is parts. I saw and met many people whom bought external filter, them the filter had a part brake down and because the filter was discontinued, there were no parts available to fix the filter. Its a huge benefit for DIY and its a worthwhile investement. I think a shared idea or template for everyone to use would be the best. Like a 3D print model or shared blueprint across an aquarium community would benefit all of us.

[@topherj.kutsumann5420]

Twisted Helix pre-filter the intake valve to catch the bigger stuff? I’d think you’d notice a difference in output before catastrophic failure. Hopefully.

[@adiofficial3309]

Terus tambahan kritik saya, power head itu pada umumnya yg betul dipasang sebelum media filter untuk nyedot air dr aquarium terus masuk ke media Filter, kemudian air tumpahan dr Filter disalurkan pipa ke aquarium, lah ini Lucunya power head dipasang SETELAH Media filter ( tabung yg isinya bio ring & teman2nya), pasang Power headnya ditabung satu lagi airnya yg gak diapa apain alias nganggur disedot langsung disalurkan ke aquarium, aps gak keliru cara pemasangan PH nya coba tlg kalian Simak, Urutkan & amati pelan2 & baik2 proses/ prosedur filtrasi nya..??

Bro can you provide us the link from where we buy these items i did not find online please help me out

[@salvadorsantos9867]

HI, good work! The plastic faucet is used to get air in the jar? Second question: if i put the pump into aquarium (using your homemade filter), system still works? thanks! ;)

[@HasnahKamilah]

Small plastic taps function to remove air trapped while operating. The second function is to suck water when first charging until the pump is submerged. I've tried putting a pump in the tank and it works.

[@harryprathamayudha4599]

When canister operates, the faucet is closed or open?

[@paolohisto1302]

Who was dancing while watching? HAHA

[@andreordonez1710]

La segunda forma estaría errónea ya que la filtración no es de mayor a menor y en el perlon se acumularían todos los desechos.

[@daranico5420]

The water intake/inlet is just too far for the suction of a smal pump. and since you put the pump outside the tank why did you used the submersible one instead?

[@tealteacup4110]

Now that I think about it. Yeah why didn't he?
