Replacement Parts - Fluval C Power Handbuch

(Aquarium water is preferable if the aquarium is already established). Replace Trickle
Chamber cover. Note: Ensure C-Nodes are well positioned inside the chamber so that the
cover closes perfectly.

POWER FILTER START-UP
1. With the cover removed, fill the Power Filter case completely with water
and replace cover.
2. For the initial start-up and for a faster priming of the filter, adjust water flow control
lever on the intake "U" tube to its minimum position.
3. Plug power cord into electrical outlet. Allow a few seconds for priming
(air being expelled from the "U" tube.)
4. After priming has been completed, move adjustment control on "U" tube to adjust
water flow rate to desired output level.
(See How it Works — Patented Refiltration System.)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE FILTER WITHOUT WATER.
For a correct filter installation, the minimum water level in the tank should be no more
than 6 cm (2.25 inches) below the aquarium rim. NOTE: For maximum filter operation
and efficiency, regular cleaning of media is recommended every two weeks.

Stage 4: Biological — Bio-Screen
An additional hydraulic circuit conveys part of the intake water to the NEW innovative Bio-Screen placed
at the top of the Trickle Chamber cover. Fluval's Bio-Screen removes any debris before dripping into
the biological chamber. It also ensures that the water pumped to the Trickle Chamber is evenly spread
through all areas before it drips on the C-Nodes, which are contained in the chamber. The motion of water
dropping slowly through the grids mimics the rain. This process ensures that additional oxygen is
dissolved into the water before returning to the aquarium, for a more efficient biological filtration.
Stage 5: Biological — C-Nodes
The surface of the C-Nodes is made up of a complex pore system that provides optimal living space for
beneficial bacteria to thrive and enhance the removal of ammonia and nitrites. The new "Star Shape"
provides a higher filtration surface and more biological power than a traditional cartridge, resulting in a
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
1. For the complete enjoyment, use and understanding of this product,
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit.
DANGER
2. — to avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken since water is employed
in the use of this equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself;
return the Fluval Power Filter for repair to an authorized service facility for service or discard the
E
appliance.
I. If the Fluval Motor Unit falls into the water
If any of the electrical components of the Power Filter get wet, unplug it immediately.
C
II. If the Motor Unit shows any sign of abnormal water leakage or if RCD (or GFCI- Ground Fault
M
Current Interrupter) switches off, disconnect the power supply cord from the wall socket and
remove pump from water.
III. Carefully examine the Power Filter after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on
parts not intended to be wet.
K
IV. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is
dropped or damaged in any manner. The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced; if the
cord is damaged, the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
V. To avoid the possibility of the Power Filter's plug or socket getting wet, position
C3 C4
the unit to one side of a wall mounted socket to prevent water from dripping
onto the socket or plug. A "drip loop" (A) should be arranged. The "drip loop" is
A20266 A20267
the part of the cord below the level of the socket or the connector if an extension
A20269 A20270
cord is used, to prevent water travelling along the cord and coming into contact
with the socket. If the plug or socket does get wet,
A20272 A20273
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then
A20275 A20276 unplug and examine for presence of water in the socket.
