Box Contains FLUVAL 106 EXTERNAL FILTER Review: Ideal first external filter for those of you making the move from internal. - After many years tolerating an internal filter I researched heavily into external filters (You Tube etc.) and found this a perfect fit for my 100 litre cold water tank. I also bought the spray bar which I found essential to stop the plants being dislodged by the fast flow from a single outlet. Also purchased extra filter material to reduce cleaning. First six weeks water became crystal clear. Don't be put off by reviews about the noise - this is easily avoided if you follow the instructions exactly. Do be careful to only cut the tubes once you are happy with the location of the filter. Also be aware that if you have a lid on your tank you may have to cut larger holes to accommodate the inlet and outlet tubes (I used a hacksaw). It's easy to clean using the valve stop to disconnect the water. And do remember to only rinse the filter media and the parts of the unit in water from the tank itself, not tap water. A great piece of kit with much thought put into the design and construction. Review: Absolutely brilliant (and totally quiet) - Great filter and easy to set up. I find it completely quiet and have to put a finger onto the intake or output pipe to feel for vibration to know that it is actually working. Other reviewers points about noise - if there is any air trapped in the system this can cause running noise. Something I hadn't expected was to have to cut the intake tube as it was longer than I expected (my tank is quite shallow mind you). The tube must have been about 25cm before cutting (a very easy operation). I am very pleased with the new 06 range - I have a 305 in another tank that is as good today as when I got it 5 years ago but this 106 seems even sturdier. It goes without saying that the water is crystal clear. ## Features - Outputs 550LPH suitable for Aquariums up to 100L - Features an instand prime to make it easy to start. - Aqua top to make it easy to maintain - Quick change mechanical media to make it easy to clean and a noise reduction impellor to make it quiet. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005QRDDEM | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 290,373 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 743 in Aquariums | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (276) | | Date First Available | 18 Dec. 2011 | | Item Weight | 2.66 kg | | Item model number | A202 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Dimensions | 19.3 x 29.21 x 32.51 cm; 2.66 kg | | Quantity | 1 | | Size | 106 | | Special features | Advanced Motor Technology, Multi-Stage Filtration | | Specific Uses | Outdoor | | Voltage | 230 | | Wattage | 10 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fluval - **Colour:** Black - **Included components:** Canister Filter - **Item weight:** 2.66 kg - **Material:** Plastic - **Shape:** Round - **Special feature:** Advanced Motor Technology, Multi-Stage Filtration - **Specific uses for product:** Outdoor - **Style:** Mechanical - **Tank volume:** 100 Litres ## Images ![Fluval Number 106 External Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZO+6sSP3L.jpg) ![Fluval Number 106 External Filter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BUOMQ3B0L.jpg) ![Fluval Number 106 External Filter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UE3dDByqL.jpg) ![Fluval Number 106 External Filter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L3uuwVDIL.jpg) ![Fluval Number 106 External Filter - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816rT+a0HvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Customer Package Type, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hello.

I find it completely quiet and have to put a finger onto the intake or output pipe to feel for vibration to know that it is actually working. Other reviewers points about noise - if there is any air trapped in the system this can cause running noise.

It goes without saying that the water is crystal clear. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superfine substantial Filter. *by S***B on 11 February 2016* This is a really well made Filter. I have to admit to being surprised how large the whole unit is. That said I'm well pleased with the instructions explain in simple steps how to assemble and get the Filter installed. It's very quiet and extremely efficient. I did purchase the Sprinkler bar which had no installation instructions, and left to connect it up using my own initiative, I wondered if the elbow coupler is intended to be used as I installed it. All in all this Filter and the spare filters which can be purchased for future use will definitely do the cleaning job I bought it to do without any problems. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fluval Number 106 External Filter - Fluval 106/7 and 206/7 Filter Phosphate Remover Pad,blue - Fluval Biomax 500 g --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/48142290-fluval-number-106-external-filter](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/48142290-fluval-number-106-external-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
