MAINTENANCE
Caution:
Always isolate the pump/power filter from the mains electricity before
installing or carrying out any maintenance to the V
2
Bio React.
The V
2
Bio React should need very little adjustment and maintenance once set up correctly.
However due to factors such as organics, detritus, and in marine aquariums, the salt and
calcium levels it is common for deposits to build up in and around the filter and therefore
it is recommended that the filter is cleaned periodically.
1. To operate efficiently, the filter must be in use 24 hours a day.
2. Make sure all connections are tightly secured.
3. Check regularly if filter is functioning properly and the media is fluidising at the correct
level.
4. Ensure the water inlet 90° elbow hosetail assembly (5) and the water outlet pipe
assembly (9) are clean and free of blockages.
5. Clean your pump or power filter regularly to ensure it does not become clogged with
debris or detritus (refer to pump/power filter instructions for full maintenance instructions).
6. When carrying out routine maintenance ensure that the filter lid O ring (4) is correctly
positioned and free from any dirt, detritus, salt and/or calcium deposits. Failure to do so
could result in leaks.
USEFUL TIP:
During routine maintenance it is advisable to ensure that the filter lid O ring (4) is
checked for any signs of degradation and replaced accordingly. Spares are available from your
local stockist (part no 5788).
USEFUL TIP:
For optimum results we recommend that the fluidising media is replaced or
topped up as required, for example if there is a build up of dirt or detritus or if media is lost
through over-fluidisation.
