It is vital that O-rings are regularly inspected and replaced as the rubber
watertight seal will perish over time, which may cause your unit to leak. Before
replacing your o-rings, ensure they are well lubricated to ensure the seal is
kept water tight.

Filter Maintenance
In general, it is recommended to disconnect your filter and clean the pipes,
impeller and filter media monthly. Pipework will become blocked with waste
and protein slime over time, so regular cleaning is important for optimal
performance.
The frequency of how often you will need to clean and inspect your unit of
course will depend on a lot of factors like how dirty the water is when you first
start using your all-in-one system, your pond volume and also how many fish
you have. How often you feed your fish and seasonal light levels will also affect
how quickly your pond water gets dirty and will need to be taken into
consideration when planning how often to clean your filter system.
Filter Media
The filter media provided with your unit and their positioning within the filter
body are designed to give complete and optimum filtration for your pond.
Coarse Filter Foam
Mechanical Filtration
Removes small waste particles from
the water.
Ceramic Stones & K1
Filter Media
Biological Filtration
Create environment for nitro-bacteria
to cultivate and help oxygenate the
water.
IMPORTANT!
Always use water from your pond to clean your filter sponges and
media. Do not use mains water or any cleaning products to clean your media.
When replacing media in your filter, do not replace more than 50% of your
media at once. This is to ensure that the nitrifying bacteria present in the old
media are able to repopulate in the newly added filter media.
