FLUVAL FILTER: PRODUCT PARTS
IMPORTANT: Since the filter is connected directly to the tank through the bottom of the aquarium glass,
the Instant Prime System (Part # 4) is not required. Always keep the Instant Prime
handle in the "Down" position

FLUVAL FILTER INSTALLATION
1. Unpack and identify all parts. This filter is for installation with this Fluval Aquarium Kit only.
2. Prepare intake/output connections
Remove the Aquastop valve (3) from canister cover (5) by first lifting the black lever all the way up
and then fully lifting the silver lever.
¡
The black lever closes and opens the Aquastop valves. When the black lever is fully up, the
valves are fully closed and do not allow water to flow between the filter and aquarium tank. When
the black lever is fully down, the valves are fully open and allow maximum water flow between
filter and aquarium tank
The silver lever locks the Aquastop valve to the canister cover (5). When the silver lever is fully
up, the Aquastop valve is disengaged from the canister cover (5). Important: to avoid water spill,
the silver lever cannot be operated if the black lever is not fully up.
Connect the ribbed hoses (2) to the Aquastop valve (3).
Attach the first hose to the IN and the second hose to the OUT connector of the
Aquastop valve in the following way:
a. Push one end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way, as far
as it will go.
b. Turn the lock nut counter clockwise until it is as tight as you can make it
without forcing.
Connect the ribbed hoses to the Aquarium's intake/output stems that you installed in Section #1.
Open the cabinet. Connect the loose end of the ribbed hose (2) that is attached to the IN connector of
the Aquastop valve (3) to the connector stem that is attached to the aquarium intake and then connect
the loose end of the ribbed hose (2) that is attached to the OUT connector of the Aquastop valve (3) to
the connector stem that is attached to the aquarium output, in the following way:
a. Loosen the metal clamp (1) and slide it onto the loose end of the hosing (2).
b. Push the end of the hosing onto the aquarium connector stem; push it all the way, as far
as it will go.
c. Position the metal clamp over the rubber connector and tighten with a screwdriver.
WARNING! – Avoid forcing the ribbed hoses sideways near the Aquastop and Connector Stem
connections at all times to prevent the ribbed hosing from slipping out of these connections and
consequently emptying the aquarium.
3. Prepare the Filter
IMPORTANT: The Carbon and BioMax media supplied with your Fluval filter have been deliber-
ately placed in the Upper, Mid, and Lower level baskets to indicate their recommended place-
ment for optimal basic filtration. Be sure to note this positioning and place the media in baskets
at the same levels as you prepare the filter for use.
1. Remove the foam screen frame, media cover, and media baskets from the filter canister.
As you remove Carbon and BioMax from the baskets, note which levels they were packed in.
Then remove their outer wrappers; do not remove carbon from porous bag(s).
2. Rinse baskets and media materials under running tap water to remove any dust
and place media in baskets. Or, if you prefer, select other media of your own
choosing. (See "Fluval Advanced Filtration" for more information)
3. Place the rinsed and filled media baskets back in the canister and put the media
cover back on the top basket. IMPORTANT: Make sure that each media is positioned
at the same level it was packaged in, unless you are deliberately choosing a different
filtration plan than the recommended basic setup. Never overfill baskets. If the
cover or baskets are out of position, the cover (5) may not close properly.
