Every 10 seconds a sound of air being expelled from

the return pipe is emitted

Due to breathing of bacteria and photosynthesis of

water plants, air bubbles may accumulate and

sounds of it being let out from the Tetra EX

Filter may be heard. Corrective measures are not

necessary.

Decrease in water flow due to water staining or dirt

on the impeller/drive magnet

The motor is cooled by water hence if water in the

drive system is dirty or dirt is allowed to accumulate,

water flow will be inhibited and life of the motor will

be decreased. Periodically clean the impeller/drive

magnet and the surrounding area under warm water.

The “start” button is being pressed

Do not press the “start” button or put anything on

top of it while the filter is running
