Maintenance

1. Turn the canister filter off at the socket and unplug.
2. Lift the locking lever to turn the taps off. Fig 1
3. Place a towel or a shallow container under the
canister unit. This will prevent any water spilling onto
your cabinet or stand and damaging it.
4. Disconnect the tap connector from the head unit.
5. Fill a bucket with water from your aquarium and
take it to the sink or wherever you intend to clean your
filter. Keep in mind cleaning your filter can be messy,
cleaning is recommended outside or at a sink. Ensure
the area is clean and free from soaps and detergents.
6. Open the canister. Release the 4 clips and remove
the head unit, place it somewhere safe where it will not
be trodden on or broken.
7. Remove the filter grid, extend the handles on the
media baskets and remove them from the canister
body.
8. Remove the filter sponges and the white wool from
the media baskets and dunk the baskets with the
BioNood and Bio Balls (Or any other type of biological
media which may be in them) several times into the
bucket. This will clear some of the dirt that can build
up and clog the media and prevent the good bacteria
which aid in breaking down pollutants in your aquarium
from being killed by the chlorine in tap water.
9. Either replace or rinse the white wool pad using a
high pressure hose. It should be replaced regularly
or when it begins to deteriorate and can no longer be
cleaned properly.
10. The sponges can also be rinsed in the bucket
of aquarium water (Providing the water is not dirty.
Replace if necessary) they will also require replacement
eventually as over time they clog and prevent water
from traveling through them easily.
11. Place the sponges back into their respective
positions and reinsert the media baskets back into the
canister body ensuring that each media basket sits
nicely on top of the other.
12. The impeller should also be cleaned when ever the
filter is disassembled.
13. Turn the head unit over and turn the impeller locking
cover anti clock wise and remove it. Fig 2
Fig 1
14. Then pull the impeller cap off and remove the
impeller. Fig 3
15. Clean the impeller chamber and the outlet channel
(Fig 4) using a double ended pipe brush.
