Review: Excellent price for a great bit of kit - Really pleased with this purchase. Used to have an Eheim professional + (can’t remember the model number) but it was a nightmare to clean and then prime (it hadn’t a built in pump). I got this and a small water-feature pump and it’s is a thousand times better. It’s a doddle to clean, and it actually does a fantastic job in its own right of removing solids. I have a lot of plants in my aquarium so they do the biological stuff that is missing from this - but if you use a bio-filter then this would be an excellent choice for a pre-filter as it is so easy to clean. As other people have said, there are a few niggles with it, like the clips come off when you clean it, the inlet position is inline with one of these clips which is awkward, and getting he lid off with wet hands and nothing firm to grip on is difficult, but for the price I can happily live with all of these minor niggles. If I build out my aquarium I will definitely use more of these filters. Review: Cheap, effective and obvious results. - So now I have two of these and theyre just a huge time saver and incredibly effective I have one attached to a aps 2000ef one to a 1000ef. The idea is actually brilliant, i dreaded cleaning out my canisters usually once every 2 months but it's been 8 months and my canister is still clean removing all hassle from tank maintenance. The two taps on the booster make maintenance really easy and it traps all heavy muck leaving my expensive filter media with clean water for super effective filtration I have noticed a drop in ammonia and nitrates since using these in 2 heavily sticked goldfish tanks the ultimate filter test is goldfish! They are quite fiddly to attach hoses too takes around 20 minutes and a sharp knife but the time saved long term and the obvious benefits in filtration and water quality far outweigh the set up time. Highly recommended brilliant idea and an excellent product. ## Features - Increase your external filtration capability by adding our supplemental EF-2 Filter Booster to your existing setup! - Designed for use with the All Pond Solutions EFX, EFX+, 2000EF & 2000EF+, the All Pond Solutions Filter Booster is also compatible with other brand's filters and will fit 18-25mm size hose. - Each booster has an amazing 2.3 litre capacity and is fitted with 3-stage filtration fine, medium and coarse foams. - Each outlet has a tap shut-off for easy maintenance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CMQ7UL2 | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 72,587 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 1,243 in Aquarium Filter Accessories | | Compatible Devices | Compatible with other brands , 18-25mm hose required .Suitable for freshwater, tropical and marine use | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (378) | | Date First Available | 3 May 2013 | | EU Energy Efficiency Label | C-E | | Item Weight | 900 g | | Item model number | EF-2-BOOSTER | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish and Aquatic | | Product Dimensions | 16.5 x 16.5 x 29.5 cm; 899.99 g | | Quantity | 1 | | Size | (2.3L) | | Special features | Each booster has an amazing 2.3 litre capacity and is fitted with 3-stage filtration fine, medium and coarse foams. | | Wattage | 1 watts | ## Images ![allpondsolutions External Filter Boosters (EF-2-Booster (2.3L)) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517cw-wd+yL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hello, does tbis filter make much noise? I sleep like 5 meters away** A: Doesn’t make any noise at all, it’s not powered **Q: Will this fit to a fluval fx-6?** A: I have this booster running with a all pond soulutions 200 filter and it works very well but sadly no it does not fit my fx4 or either of my fx6s pipes are much larger on the fluvals **Q: Is this pre or after main filter?** A: Pre **Q: Hi, is the filter see through?** A: The filter comes in transparent and white so be sure to check the listing before buying if you have a strong preference. I have one of each and the transparent on-neck full of water and with some detritus build up doesn’t actually let you see very much. Shouldn’t rely on visual information for filter maintenance anyway so I was just being lazy when I bought it thinking it would help ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent price for a great bit of kit *by M***. on 24 October 2019* Really pleased with this purchase.

Highly recommended brilliant idea and an excellent product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent mechanical filtration device. *by M***K on 17 September 2018* I have been running this for a few months now so thought I'd give a quick review. I have this as a pre filter for my JBL Cristiprofile E1501, which I have packed with biological media. This runs alongside my Fluval FX4 on a 450litre planted tank. As with most of APS items I was expecting a relatively cheap product (you get what you pay for right?) But much to my surprise this is quite well made. It comes with three different sponges, ranging from course to fine, with the water flowing from bottom to top I start with a course through to fine to polish the water off before it enters the canister filter. It is not see through like the image suggests, which is fine, I just disconnect weekly and give it a good clean with a tap, as it's only acting as a dirt remover I'm not fussed on affects on bacteria. It does the job at removing grime from the water, without any significant loss in flow when using a relatively powerful filter. It is easy to disconnect and clean regularly and I'm happy with the sponges provided. In summary, for the price it's a great way to negate the need to keep cleaning your canister filter and enabling you to use that solely for biological filtration, leaving this to do all your mechanical beforehand. 2020 update: So, still going, although affectively just a box with filter sponges! Only criticism is that the clips holding the lid on are particularly brittle, I've managed to snap 3/4 clips and have now resorted to cable ties. Bizarrely it's £10 for just 1 clip on the APS website! Yes, 1 clip is a tenner! The unit only costs £20! Just for that I've knocked a star off. Anyway, works well and as expected, you will need to clean once every week or two depending on your stocking levels. ## Frequently Bought Together - All Pond Solutions External Filter Boosters (EF-2-Booster (2.3L)) - allpondsolutions EFX+ Aquarium External Fish Tank Water Filter with 9w UV Steriliser for Coldwater, Tropical or Marine Aquariums, Tanks Up to 1000 Litres – Includes Filter Media Full Kit. - All Pond Solutions EF External Filter Booster Supplimentary Canister, 1.2 Litre --- ## 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.pt/products/48126670-allpondsolutions-external-filter-boosters-ef-2-booster-2-3l](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48126670-allpondsolutions-external-filter-boosters-ef-2-booster-2-3l) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
