• Directing Water Flow: The pump head is rotatable 360 degrees. Adjust its position to create optimal water movement and surface agitation for gas exchange.

6. Vedlikehold

Regular maintenance is crucial for the efficient operation and longevity of your filter.

1. Koble fra strømmen: Always unplug the filter from the mains before performing any maintenance.
2. Remove Filter from Aquarium: Gently detach the filter from the aquarium wall. The mounting bracket with suction cups can remain on the glass, allowing the filter unit to be easily removed for cleaning.
3. Disassemble Filter: Separate the pump head from the filter baskets. Open the filter baskets to access the media.
4. Rengjør forfilteret: The pre-filter cartridge should be rinsed regularly (weekly or bi-weekly, depending on aquarium load) under aquarium water or dechlorinated tap water. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals.
5. Clean Filter Media: The biological filter media (Substrate Pro) should be cleaned less frequently (every 1-3 months) to preserve beneficial bacteria. Rinse gently in old aquarium water to remove debris without destroying the bacterial colony. Replace media as recommended by the manufacturer, typically every 6-12 months.
6. Rengjør impelleren: Periodically inspect and clean the impeller and impeller shaft for any debris or blockages. This helps maintain optimal flow and prevents noise.
