In this video I go over how to maintain a SunSun HW-3000 including how to ensure you don't get
leaks from a old hard o-ring.
This filter was setup brand new in Sept 2022 replacing a 5 year old SunSun 704b.
(The old 704b still ran beautifully and is currently in storage as a backup)

I appreciate these videos. I just bought this filter today after saving up for a long time. (I’m in high school) I’m glad you’re making these videos to make sure people are taking proper care of the filters and ensuring that they don’t leak or anything.

Great video it helps me a lot. Keep them coming.

Floss goes on top of the bottom tray otherwise clogs your media

@BassManStrikes 5 месяцев назад

No I have a fine foam at the bottom. The floss at top is a final polish. More than one way to do things 😁

@PeterKnopp-ih8ie 10 месяцев назад

Shouldn’t polishing pad be in the bottom tray? Or all the muck is going to get concentrated on the bio media

@BassManStrikes 10 месяцев назад

There is a course, medium and fine sponge in the bottom. I put the white at the top as it tends to make it less noisy as it keeps rattles and vibrations down.

Hi - great videos on these sunsun hw-3000's i am wondering if you can shed any light on interpretation of the uv lamp icon in relation to being able to tell if the uv lamp is working or not without having to do a visual check with the filter canister open. The whole icon was blinking when first turned on, but now the txt inside the icon is blinking instead & the lamp time on counter is going up. Thank you

Just set this filter up in my 75 gallon Tank for my Red Ear Slider Turtle. My 2nd SunSun. Love the easy start! 1 question, any idea how high i should have my fan set? Currently running on 4. Thanks for your videos!

@BassManStrikes 3 месяца назад

I leave mine on max

hi gr8 video I have the 704b its a real work horse a good filter .its hard to tell from your video ,but which would you say is the quieter filter,704 or 3000. I am thinking of adding a second filter with a flow control feature like the 3000 .cheers,

@BassManStrikes Год назад

I would say about the same for noise level, I can't hear them in the cabinet.

@mediscusnut7994 Год назад

Cheers thanks for the info.

@DjPosey3 11 месяцев назад

I know you need 2 hands to do the job but damm it woildve been nice to see how you detach the top without having gallons of water spilled !!

@BassManStrikes 11 месяцев назад

LOL you get gallons of water spilled?

@DjPosey3 11 месяцев назад

@BassManStrikes Yeh it's my first time taking it apart and I don't know what I'm doing lol

@mediscusnut7994 11 месяцев назад

Would it be worth trying closing one valve for 5 to 10 seconds then the other then turn off the power.I also have an Aquael ultramax 2000, this how you would operate it when cleaning the prefilter to insure there is no excess water in the head chamber, just a thought because off the two independent flow locks,same as the Aquael !!!

@leonardomallquialcantara7176 10 месяцев назад

hello, what are the dimensions of the media baskets? I want to know if I can reuse some sponges that I have

@BassManStrikes 10 месяцев назад

Same size as the prior versions of sunsun filters.

@saurabhm2617 11 месяцев назад

need to upgrade my cannister filter , and who best to ask for advice than you ! you are using both 704B and HW3000. which one i should go for ? cheers from India !

@BassManStrikes 11 месяцев назад

I upgraded both my 704bs to the hw3000s, been running great for almost a year so far. Either model will work great for you 👍

@roymosche3826 4 месяца назад

What is the process to turn it off? Do you shut both valves before unplugging?

@BassManStrikes 4 месяца назад

Unplug it first then close each valve and then open the lock lever in the middle.

@sovereignviper90 Год назад

Ordered this canister yesterday. Do you know what size loc line it has?

@BassManStrikes Год назад

I posted the silicon hose size it needs here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fnmR32aHKLs.html

@sovereignviper90 Год назад

@BassMan Strikes Kayak Fishing guess I need too proof read lol,but I am talking about the spray bar or duck bill returns. It appeared to be a loc line joint. My plans if it is loc line, is to use random flow generators for my reef vs spray bar and duck bill

@BassManStrikes Год назад

The plumbing is not this stuff www.loc-line.com/ The output bills have a similar rotation type connection but I doubt it's compatible. You could try once you get the canister and let us know 👍😎

@BassManStrikes Год назад

It comes with this and a skimmer attachment a.co/d/8O0Lr9c

@reatulkarim3247 6 месяцев назад

Is it possible to run the hw 3000 without the UV lamp?

@BassManStrikes 6 месяцев назад

You can remove the bulb I think. But not entirely sure.

@PeterKnopp-ih8ie 8 месяцев назад

Hi I live in the uk and cannot buy the o rings for the shut of valve HW3000 any links to the product in the US would be great 👍

@BassManStrikes 7 месяцев назад

You should be able to find them on Aliexpress, they for sure ship to the UK.

@Joet0151 Год назад

What diameter is the tubing?

@BassManStrikes Год назад

This is the stuff I used 3/4" (19mm) ID x 1" OD High... www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZNYT4SC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

@Ali-Muscle Год назад

How many total hours can you put on the UV ?

@BassManStrikes Год назад

Before you have to replace the bulb? Not sure offhand but it's in the manual, I will have to look.

@Ali-Muscle Год назад

@@BassManStrikes it’s 2,000 hours . I looked up the instructions online .

@BassManStrikes Год назад

Cool, one thing I noticed is the total hours resets when you unplug it, so to keep track you would have to write it down before you unplug it. I only have mine on 4 hours per day, so I will have to replace it after like a year and a half.

@Ali-Muscle Год назад

@@BassManStrikes I’m going to do 8hrs & change once a year .

@darkmagician2346 Год назад

The main issue with this filter is the priming either it works or it doesn’t work.

@BassManStrikes Год назад

What I do is make sure it's empty, close both valves, then fill one tube, replace cap and open both valves. Primes every time and you only have to do it that way on initial setup. For cleaning it stays primed and you just open valves and go.
