Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Whisper Power Filter for aquariums offers quiet, 3-stage filtration for clean water and healthy fish. Dual-sided mesh catches debris and fish waste in its dense, fibrous network, then Ultra-Activated carbon provides chemical filtration by absorbing odors and discoloration. Biological filtration is provided by Bio-Foam, which creates a large, three-dimensional area for cultivating aerobic bacteria, which eliminate toxic ammonia and nitrites. No moving parts means long-term reliability. Uses Stay Clean technology to help keep your aquarium clean, clear and healthy, reduce buildup on aquarium glass and bind small dirt particles to make them easier to filter. This filter uses easy-to-change Whisper Bio-Bag Cartridges (size medium), which trap particles floating in your aquarium. The Whisper Power Filter 10 treats aquariums up to 10 gallons (90 GPH).

  • - Quiet & reliable: The Whisper Power Filter uses 3-stage filtration to create clear, clean water - PF 10 treats aquariums up to 10 gallons.
  • - Absorbs odors: Ultra-Activated carbon removes both odor and water discoloration.
  • - Catches debris: Dense, dual-sided mesh filters debris and fish waste.
  • - Innovative cleaning power: Integrated Stay Clean technology reduces buildup on glass and binds small dirt particles to make them easier to filter.

The filter had an easy set up and it starts to work instantly. Within about 30 mins the tank was completely cleaned.

The Tetra Whisper PF10 Filtration System is SO good. It pumps a LOT of water through, it's quiet, and keeps the water clean for a long time. It's easy to clean. Great value for the price.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I filled the tank up and this is silent. When the water level went down I could hear the water fall more. (Its a soothing sound to us) This filter is easy to set up and I have no complaints. I have it on a 10 gal with the water level at the top with a lighted hood. I don't think there is a noise problem.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I have had this filter for about a week now. I was given a complete 5 gallon aquarium set-up with this filter and fancy guppies. Great filter, lots of power - almost too much power! I had one issue where the current it created was too strong for my fancy guppies. The males had trouble swimming and all the guppies hung out in one half of the tank, away from the filter. I have read that some people add a sponge to it somewhere - not sure exactly. But I did find a video demonstrating a completely free solution that takes less than 5 minutes to fashion. ^_^ Here is how to weaken the current the free and easy way:

I got this filter because I needed one for my 5 gallon tank. It is quiet, but definitely not worth the money. The tube is so long that I had to put it in the sand (I have sand instead of gravel for my tank) which didn't work because the sand clogged the filter. I had to put gravel around it so that that wouldn't happen. Second, the filter died in less than a week.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Excellent filter for my 10 gallon!

I just bought this at my local petco store. It was confusing to install at first, but it works. I'm cycling my tank and after 5 hours theres already a small amount of bacteria growing on the black mesh. 5/5! BTW this filter is just as quite as my internal tetra filter in my 29g.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I have always liked the performance of Whisper until I tried the newest one. Pros-still quiet, same easy filter changes, uses only the carbon or ammo you want to use, great for smaller Betta tanks, just so easy to work with. Cons-NEW model does not have the adjustable flow feature, and I believe most aquarists change the filter when they know it's needed. Please go back to the old model, it's so hard to find a good, small filter unit.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Sort by: Newest Answers

How much power does it need (Watts or amps)?

  1. The Tetra Whisper PF10 Filtration System requires 120 volt power and draws 4 watts.



Can this be used in saltwater tanks?

    im doing a freshwater tank and i don't know what kind of filter to use

      Where can I purchase Tetra x medium filter cartridges? These specifically.

      1. I found my medium filters at petco it was the last pack there. If petco doesn't have them petsmart might it's going to be luck of the draw on finding the medium size filters though! Good luck and hope this helped.



      on the TetraO PF10, bought it about 5 weeks ago, today I changed the filter and cleaned up the Tetra, however now when I plugged it back in, no water

      1. You tank doesn't have enought water. Either add water to tank or the filiter.



      What filter cartridge do we use for Model PF10?

      1. You use the medium biobags



      Too strong?

      1. There are several things you may want to try. 1. Try raising your water level to the maximum level fit for your tank. 2. Fit a thin cut peice of sponge to the lip of the filter return to allow the water to be soked up then drained back in to the aquarium. (it will also help filter the water) 3. Put a plant or decor peice to help break the water movement. 4. Make your own extention to the filter to let it flow easier into the tank. Remember Guppies do not need a lot of water movement to survive but you still need to make sure that your water has constant surface movement to help your aquarium stay clear. I hope this helped.
