Your Maelstrom® Original works harder when it's equipped with the right filter. Choose between the premium stainless steel Shark Cage for maximum performance, or keep your system running clean with a replacement Plastic Filter — both engineered to deliver phenomenal water catchment efficiency and cleaner water into your tank.
Shark Cage Filter
The Shark Cage for Maelstrom® Original delivers massive amounts of water to your tank. The single skin Shark Cage uses super-fine filtration to block leaves and debris, keeping your water clean. It's the step up from the standard plastic filter — incredibly easy to clean and built to handle higher flow rates, meaning more water in your tank.
Installation is as simple as lifting out the plastic filter and dropping in the new Shark Cage.
Key Features
Maximum Efficiency: Even more efficient water capture than a standard Maelstrom®. The single skin, stainless steel cage allows debris to be pushed aside so you catch as much water as possible.
Ultra Fine Filtration: Removes particles down to 180 microns — that's five times smaller than a standard tank screen.
Minimal Maintenance: The unique design means debris is pushed by incoming water and will self-eject leaves as debris loads build.
Stainless Steel Construction: Tough, durable, and built to last.
Easy Upgrade: Simply lift out your existing Maelstrom® plastic filter and drop in the Shark Cage. No tools required.
Plastic Filter (Replacement)
Keep your Maelstrom® Original filter at its best with the 2mm replacement plastic filter. The signature design keeps leaves and debris out of your system while the 180 micron mesh provides protection five times finer than standard pre-tank filters. Phenomenal water catchment efficiency means less water lost to splashing and more entering your tank — with minimal effort from you.
Key Features
180 Micron Filtration: Five times finer than standard pre-tank filters.
Low Maintenance: Clean, reliable performance with minimal upkeep.
Reduces Sediment: Keeps sediment out of your tank, reducing pressure on pumps.
Direct Replacement: Purpose-built to fit the Maelstrom® Original.
