Is it possible to make an electric filter for aquarium at home?
I had purchased an electric filter named sun-sun for my aquarium. Its not working now because of electrical leakage, i had purchased many filters previously but none worked perfectly! so i decided not buy another one.can anyone suggest me is it possible to make a filter using an electric pump at home?

OK that's a bit clearer. It should have been a sealed-unit, but what you've got is water-ingress? (leakage)
If you purchased it and it is "unfit for the purpose" for which you bought it, return it to the vendor (shop) and ask for a refund. You should be covered by law on this.

Bio-filters are easy, mechanical filters only slightly more involved, and UV could be a royal pain (as Re-design already alluded to). Check under Related for some workable ideas ----------->

Are you talking about just making a pumped filter for solids or go all the way and add UV sterilization to that?
Sunsun makes both kinds.
