Fluval Spray Bar Kit for FX2, FX4 & FX6 Canister Filters
The Fluval Spray Bar Kit is designed for use with Fluval FX2, FX4, and FX6 canister filters. This filter outlet accessory helps spread filtered water more evenly across the aquarium, improving circulation while reducing the force of a single concentrated return flow.
A spray bar is a great upgrade for aquariums that need gentler water movement, better surface agitation, or more even flow throughout the tank. It is especially useful for planted aquariums, community fish tanks, cichlid setups, and large freshwater displays using Fluval FX canister filtration.

Why Use a Spray Bar?
A spray bar helps spread return flow across a wider area instead of pushing water from one strong outlet point. This can create gentler, more balanced circulation while still helping move filtered water throughout the aquarium.
Improved water movement can help reduce dead spots, support oxygen exchange, and create a more comfortable flow pattern for many fish and planted aquarium layouts.

Installation & Maintenance Tips
Install the Fluval Spray Bar Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions and position the spray bar to match your aquarium’s flow needs. Aim it slightly toward the water surface if you want more surface agitation, or adjust the direction to improve circulation through the tank.
During routine filter maintenance, inspect the spray bar openings for debris, algae, or mineral buildup. Clean as needed to keep water flowing evenly through the outlet holes.
