MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
For cleaning and maintenance, first separate the filter
unit from the pump unit and then remove both units
from the water.
•
Maintenance of the pump unit involves cleaning
the central outlet, flow-out nozzles and impeller
unit.
•
If necessary, clean with clear water using a soft
brush.
• Do not use cleaning agents or chemical solutions.
We recommend using OASE PumpClean for remov-
ing calcium deposits.
• Cleaning and replacement cycles for filter media
such as foam filters are dependent on the size of
the aquarium and the number of fish. Therefore, it
is necessary to clean and replace the filter media
as required to ensure optimum filter performance.
• If there are several foam filters: Clean or replace
the foam filters at different times. This saves
enough useful bacteria to ensure good biological
filtration of the water.
•
Recommendation for clear water: Replace the filter
fleece at least each time the filter sponges are
cleaned.
