Cause
Solution
Filter location. The top edge of the pump head should be at least 10 cm beneath
the surface of the water. It is better to place it underneath the
aquarium.
Air is being sucked in via the
hose installation.
Check that hose connector is fitted properly, and maybe check
whether hoses leak.
Additional air supply
(membrane pump).
Do not install diffuser in the vicinity of the suction pipe.
Filter media heavily soiled. Clean filter media.
Filter media have been
placed in net bags.
Never put long-term filter media in net bags or nylon stockings. This
leads to a drastic reduction in pump performance within a short time.
...Air in the filter
Cause
Solution
Ceramic sleeve not or
incorrectly installed.
Correctly install or, if required, replace the ceramic sleeve.
Ceramic axis broken. Replace the ceramic axis.
... the pump causes loud operating noise
Pump is dirty. Clean pump chamber, cooling and lubrication channel with cleaning
brush set (Order No. 4009560) (see chapter on Servicing and
Maintenance).
Water is not circulating
properly.
Take filter into operation by priming (as described in the instructions).
Make sure that the water runback (delivery side) is above the surface
of the water during filling so that air is optimally bled from the device.
Too many accessories
installed on the hose
system.
Connected accessories reduce filter performance. Check and
remove unnecessary accessories or operate via a separate water
circulation system.
Filter pad not renewed. Be sure to renew the filter pad each time you clean
(Order No. 2616802).
