How much space do I need between the acquarium and the wall to accommodate this filter? I have a pretty tight spot, and would really appreciate it if someone could give me the exact space required. Thanks so much!

I measured mine and its exactly 3 1/2" of space behind the tank. This leaves about 1/4" play it you have to remove it. You could get away with less if you leave the cover off!

I measured the ribbon in the box. The ribbon on the filter is 6" W x 42" L. The ribbon on the filter overlaps the plastic at the at edge. The plastic at the edge wraps around about a 1/4 inch. I cut the filter to go right to the edge, the filter is 6inches wide Glad you asked again. Looks like it is time to change the carbon filter: full of dust. Circumference of the filter is 36", so I have a 6 " overlap. I am guessing I cut the ribbon to width after installation. I am also guessing the ribbon is sized to fit a number of circular filter sizes.

The filter is about 3 inches wide from the top and a little under 4 inches wide in the middle. I hope that helps.

I roughly measured the tank, I think the 1.11 is probably closer. I filled the tank with a gallon, plus about a quarter of a quart (measured with a quart bottle that wasn't graduated). I didn't measure how much beyond that fits in the base, but it might make up the remaining 0.4 gallons. I disagree with S.Wagner-- the size of the filter is not nearly enough to displace 0.4 gallons.

The Aqueon Quietflow filter extends about 2 inches into the tank and is about 8 inches long. Put the hood on the tank and check the measurements for the filter opening again.

robert, as you probably know; you do not want your refrigerator flush against the wall, as you want air flow in the rear of your refrigerator. the unit is almost 2" deep and the back of my frig is 4" from the wall, for air circulation. have a merry christmas and a prosperous new year! [sorry......i meant to answer a similar question to another person and answered yours instead. :) i also sent her this same answer. hope your unit is working fine.]

A few weeks ago I would have had the answer. Threw the old filters away (don't have part number). Just get the measurements from your old filters and match them up with the new and you will be fine.

Hi there :) I just looked in order to estimate. A half-inch from top of aquarium is where the max line is on mine, so that's where I would fill it to. Minimum is 3/4 inch from top of aquarium.

I'm not familiar with your system. All I could find about AquaSky ROT-4 on the internet is that it's a RO tank, not a filter. I might have missed something. Do you have a series of 2 or 3 filters together with a RO membrane before the water enters the tank? I'd suggest you measure the length of your filters. These filters here are exactly 10" tall.

hello there, you don't need much of space, mine sat under the sink easily. the storage tank is about 18 inch high and 11 inch wide, the filters together will sit on 6 inches wide and about 11 inches high all together.

The black (carbon) face is supposed to face forward to the front of the unit. There is a notch in the filter that lines up with a notch in the filter base. The filter really won't really fit right if you put it in backward. NOW! my True Air machine plugs plugs directly into the wall socket - so we may be talking apples and oranges. Had my wall mount unit for 6 years, but I don't know if it is the same unit that you have?

I apologize to you that I am unable to answer this question for you. I ordered the filters but I had someone else install it for me, so I have no idea of what you are asking me. I am so sorry! The person I had install it, had no problem at all and it works super great for me! I just cannot answer your question. I would try contacting the company and asking them.

Hello, glad to help. I would not buy this product again only because it hangs down too far and blocks area. Also After using it and looking at it, I can't figure out how it goes down to filter and then comes up, not sure I like that I want a clean through the filter and out the faucet. Am purchasing another one. Hope this helps

It's 10 3/4"wide . If you are considering this tank, consider upgrading the filter from the very start. The one that comes with it is too small, and mine died the first day. I had an extra whisper10 that I used, and the water has been crystal clear, and the fish have been healthy from the start. Don't overcrowd- 6 gallons isn't much!

The best way to gain that info is to visit their site. I do not know the size as I already installed it and discarded the info. I am happy with this filter and will buy from them again.

Thats fine. Its not a mechanical filter so it doesn't need to occupy all the space. As long as its in a high flow area

That's a small window! You may need to have a board cut to fit any gap which results. One VERY important thing: The filter slides out the SIDE, so don't install it right up the a window frame close to the right. It has the be in the middle of the window area. Mine is installed in a regular apartment size window...and it was a real hassle. I also have no way to clean the filter easily. Works fine though, although it's a bit noisy.
