must be positioned ABOVE the surface of the water for optimum ventilation of the
appliance.
Press the “START” button on the pump head repeatedly with the palm of your hand until
water begins to flow into the suction hose (hose on “IN”). Wait until the filter has completely
filled with water and the water in the hose leading to the water outlet pipe (hose on “OUT”)
is at the same level as the surface of the water in the aquarium.
Connect the filter to the mains power supply. The water will now flow out of the water outlet
pipe into the aquarium. At first, it may be mixed with air that is still trapped between the
layers of the filter media. Gently shake the filter to dislodge the air which will escape with
the stream of water.
Please note: If you replace an existing aquarium filter with a

filter, we recommend running both the new filter and the old filter parallel in the same
aquarium for the first 2 weeks, before dismantling the “old” filter. This ensures that the new
filter has a sufficiently large colony of cleansing bacteria and avoids harmful nitrites occur-
ring in the transitional phase.
Check that all parts are watertight.

Regulating the water flow
The water flow can be regulated by the stopcock labelled OUT if required (grey elbow
connection). The further the lever is turned away from the “OPEN” mark, the less water is
pumped by the filter. Never use the lever opposite to regulate flow!
Important: Reducing capacity by more than half should be avoided for the following rea-
sons: running noise may increase, the service life of the rotor may be shortened and the
cooling required when the pump head is in operation is no longer reliably guaranteed.
Note on the pumping capacity
For optimum reliable performance, we strongly recommend the use of JBL original filter
media only.
As usual technically, the data given on the type plates and the packaging refer to maximum
IDLE RUNNING DATA of the pump, without hoses and filter media:
CP e402:
450 l/h
CP e702:
700 l/h
CP e902:
900 l/h
CP e1502:
1400 l/h
CP e1902:
1900 l/h
When operated in an aquarium, this data is reduced by varying degrees, depending on the
length of hose and the filter media used. An accumulation of dirt in the hoses and filter me-
dia will further reduce performance.
