IMPELLER ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE
OR REPLACEMENT
It is advisable to clean the impeller chamber and the
impeller assembly twice a year. Maintenance of this
filter part is not signaled on the display, but should
be done at the same time biological maintenance is
performed.
Note: There is a seal ring around the inside of the
impeller cover that may get stuck into position.
It’s important to lubricate “O” rings and gaskets
with Fluval silicone lubricant (A325) on a bi-annual
basis to ensure easy removal of parts, as well as
proper sealing of components.
TO CLEAN THE IMPELLER ASSEMBLY:
1. While the filter head
is off the filter canister,
turn the filter head up-
side down. Place it gen-
tly on a towel to absorb
any excess water.
