Bioscape Replace Pump Stainless Steel Canister Filter 1000lph

• 12V DC operation – powered through the included low-voltage adapter, not a mains-voltage motor sitting inside the wet filter body.
• Fitted ready to go – arrives assembled onto its mounting, not a bare motor you need to rebuild.
• Restores rated flow – a direct replacement for the pump fitted to the BIS08 1000lph canister filter.

At 12 W run continuously, as aquarium filtration typically is, this pump draws around 105 kWh a year – roughly $31 a year at a 30c/kWh tariff. That's the ongoing cost of the pump itself, separate from any heater or lighting on the same tank.

Suitable for the Bioscape Stainless Steel Canister Filter 1000lph (BIS08). This listing is specific to the 1000lph model – check your filter's rated flow before ordering if you're not sure which Stainless Steel canister filter you have.

A pump that runs but moves little or no water is more often a jammed impeller than a failed motor – pull the impeller and clean out any built-up biofilm before assuming the pump itself has failed. Where the motor has stopped turning altogether, or the housing has cracked, this replacement assembly is the fix.

Covered against manufacturing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships by standard parcel post.

Does this include the power adapter?

Yes – it's supplied fitted and ready to go, with its 12V adapter included.

Is this a straight swap for the original pump?

Yes, it's built as a direct replacement for the pump fitted to the BIS08 1000lph filter.

My filter is slow but not silent – do I need a new pump?

Not necessarily. Reduced flow with the motor still audibly running is the classic sign of a clogged impeller well rather than a failed pump – check and clean that first.
