TOP TIPS to keep your pf filter in working order …
Monthly filter care – Conduct a 25% water change, clean the foam and the ceramic media in water taken from the aquarium. Replace carbon and fine filter foam.
3 Monthly filter care – Clean impeller and impeller chamber in fresh water.
Do not over feed your fish – uneaten food causes an unhealthy aquarium environment and will cause your filter to work harder and to block more frequently.
Keep aquarium water healthy – Regular water changes are important for the health of your aquarium and your fish. When carrying out a water change, remove as much debris as possible with an aquarium gravel cleaner syphon.
Reduce noise – All power filters create an unavoidable noise. If you find the filter to be noisier than you would like, please try the following actions:
The venturi can either be turned down, or the filter can be sited lower in the aquariumto submerge the venturi. In this instance, use the flow deflector to ensure the water flow ripples the surface of the aquarium to ensure adequate aeration of the aquarium.
Check the impeller. The impeller should be carefully removed and cleaned using a soft cloth. A small brush or cloth may be inserted into the impeller chamber, removing debris inside. Once the impeller has been cleaned the magnet should be inspected for any damage such as cracks or pieces missing. If the impeller magnet is damaged in anyway, the impeller should be replaced
