Set Up Instructions
Filling with Media
1. Open the filter unit by releasing the 2 clips located
on either side of the filter, then lift the head unit off the
canister body.
2. Remove the filter media from the canister. Rinse the
filter media in tap water to remove excess dust and
place it back into the filter according to the media set
up illustrated on page 4.
Checking the function
3. Prior to installing the head unit, connect it to the power
supply. You should be able to see the impeller spin. If
there are any problems refer to the Trouble Shooting
Section. Disconnect from the power supply after a few
seconds to avoid damaging the powerhead.
Replacing the head unit
4. Line the filter outlet pipe up with the feeder pipe on
the base of the head unit.
5. Press down gently, the bottom of the head unit should
be flush with the canister body. Be careful not to jam
the power cord in between the canister and the head
unit. Do not force it together! If it feels tight do not apply
any pressure to close it. Simply, remove the head unit
and try again.
6. Latch and secure the clips. The filter unit is now
ready to be installed.

hose pipes

the filter unit. You will need two pieces of hose. Screw
the collar on the taps all the way in clockwise.
