Description:
Multi-stage external canister filtration with the added benefit of UV sterilisation, the Dynamic Power 1400L/H External Canister Filter is a complete filtration solution for aquariums up to 350 litres. Running at 1,400 litres per hour on 35 watts, with a separate 9W UV lamp, it handles mechanical, biological, and UV clarification in one unit.
External canister filters work by drawing water from the tank through an inlet, passing it through sealed, pressurised media baskets, and then returning filtered water through an outlet. The canister sits outside the tank entirely, keeping your aquascape clean and uncluttered. The UV steriliser targets free-floating algae and waterborne pathogens that mechanical and biological filtration alone can't catch, reducing disease risk and keeping water visibly clearer.
This model features three easy-access media baskets for a fully customisable filtration stack. The included media kit gives you a ready-to-run starting point without needing to source media separately. A flow shut-off tap lets you stop water flow for maintenance without disconnecting hoses, and quick-connect fittings mean setup and post-clean restarts require no tools. A maximum head height of 2.0 metres covers most standard aquarium setups comfortably. Built from compact PVC casing and SGS approved for long-term reliability in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
Suitable for freshwater and saltwater aquariums up to 350 litres.

How the Dynamic Power External Canister Filter with UV Compares
💡 Dynamic Power External Canister Filter with UV
- 🧺Multi-Stage Filtration: Uses multiple filter baskets for mechanical, biological and chemical filtration, giving you dedicated space for different types of filter media.
- 💡Integrated 9W UV Steriliser: Adds UV treatment to the filtration system, targeting free-floating microorganisms and algae as water passes through the UV chamber.
- 💧Helps Improve Water Clarity: UV treatment can help control free-floating algae and microorganisms that remain suspended in the water rather than being removed by mechanical filtration alone.
- 📦UV and Filtration in One System: Combines the canister's mechanical, biological and chemical filtration with an additional UV treatment stage instead of requiring a separate UV unit.
- 🔧Customisable Media Setup: Easy-access media baskets allow different filter media to be arranged and maintained alongside the integrated UV stage.
⚪ Standard External Canister Filter
- 🧺Multi-Stage Filtration: Provides mechanical, biological and chemical filtration through its available filter media and baskets.
- 💡No Integrated UV Stage: Standard canister filtration does not provide the additional UV treatment included in these Dynamic Power models.
- 💧Free-Floating Algae Remains a Separate Consideration: Mechanical filtration can remove suspended particles, but it does not provide the same UV treatment for free-floating algae and microorganisms.
- 🔧UV Requires Separate Equipment: Adding UV treatment to a standard canister setup means purchasing and installing a separate UV steriliser.
- 📦More Components for UV Treatment: A separate UV unit requires additional equipment, connections and space within the overall filtration setup.
The media kit inclusion is a practical touch for anyone setting up a canister filter for the first time, it removes the guesswork of sourcing compatible media and gets you running faster. The UV steriliser is a genuine upgrade over a standard canister at this price point, particularly for aquarists who've dealt with persistent algae blooms or disease outbreaks and want an extra layer of protection built into their filtration.
Clean the spiral propeller and casing periodically to prevent heavy debris build-up, which can reduce flow and strain the motor over time. Always disconnect from power before handling. If the pump stops unexpectedly, check for blockages first, the built-in overheat protection will cut the motor if it runs too hot, which is usually a sign something is restricting flow. Clearing the blockage and allowing the motor to cool before restarting is all that's typically needed. Replace the UV globe annually or when you notice a drop in water clarity despite clean mechanical media. UV globes degrade over time and lose effectiveness before they stop working entirely, so annual replacement is good practice regardless of whether the lamp still appears to be on. UV replacement globes are available from most aquarium retailers or online. Check your model's specifications for the correct wattage before purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an external canister filter?
An external canister filter sits outside the aquarium and draws water through an inlet, passes it through multiple stages of filter media inside the sealed canister, and returns filtered water to the aquarium. Keeping the filter outside the tank also helps reduce equipment inside the aquarium and keeps your aquascape cleaner.
How do I choose the right size canister filter?
Choose the model based on your aquarium size, required flow rate, stocking level and available space for the canister. The Dynamic Power range includes models suited to aquariums up to 90 litres, 250 litres, 350 litres and 500 litres. Check the specifications for each variant before selecting your filter.
What type of filter media can I use?
The canister filters can be configured with different types of mechanical, biological and chemical media, including filter sponges, bio balls, ceramic media and activated carbon. The media arrangement can be customised to suit your aquarium and filtration needs.
Can I use filter media bags with the canister?
Yes. Suitable loose filter media such as bio balls, ceramic media or activated carbon can be placed into filter media bags to keep each type contained and make maintenance easier. Make sure the bags and media are positioned so they do not restrict water flow through the canister.
Which models have a UV steriliser?
The 1400L/H and 2000L/H models include a built-in 9W UV steriliser. The 400L/H and 1000L/H models do not include UV sterilisation.
What does the UV steriliser do?
The UV steriliser exposes passing water to UV light, which can help control free-floating algae and some waterborne microorganisms. It works alongside mechanical and biological filtration rather than replacing either one.
Can the 400L/H canister be used as a pre-filter?
Yes. The 400L/H Dynamic Power canister can be connected to another Dynamic Power canister and used as a pre-filter. This allows it to provide additional mechanical filtration before water reaches the main canister filter.
Can I adjust the water flow?
Yes. The canister filters feature flow control that allows you to reduce the output when needed. This can be useful for aquariums with sensitive livestock, smaller tanks or setups where strong water movement is not desirable.
Canister filters have different maximum head heights. What does that mean?
Maximum head height refers to how high the filter can move water vertically. The available head height varies between models, so consider the distance between the canister and the aquarium when choosing your filter. Keeping the canister below the aquarium and using a suitable hose setup helps the filter operate effectively.
Can these canister filters be used in freshwater and saltwater?
Yes. The Dynamic Power external canister filter range is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquarium setups.
