Filter Maintenance
IMPORTANT!
If the unit is switched
off ensure the outlet/unit tap is closed.
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 an external
filter, the volume of your water and also how many fish you have. How often you feed your
fish and how long your lighting is on for will also affect how quickly your aquarium water
gets dirty and will need to be taken into consideration when planning how often to clean
your external
filter.
It is vital that O-rings are regularly inspected and replaced as the rubber
Before replacing
your o-rings, ensure they are well lubricated.
