Filter Maintenance

To perform routine maintenance on your canister filter, you should first unplug your filter. There is no need to remove the Intake and Outlet Tubes or disconnect hosing from the Valve Block. All you need to do is remove the Valve Block from the canister filter. To do this first stop the water flow to the filter by lifting the Key Cover on the Valve Block. To unlock the Valve Block, turn the Key inside counterclockwise. Lift the Valve Block from the canister, leaving the Intake/Outlet Assembly Tubing and Valve Block together for easy reconnect.

• Clean filter media regularly. Rinse with water from aquarium, NOT TAP WATER.
• Clean Impeller Assembly Cover and Impeller monthly. Rinse thoroughly under warm tap water.
• Rinse Filter Foam every three weeks and replace after nine weeks.
• Replace Filter Floss Pad and Carbon Filter Bag every month.

Included Media

• Filter Floss Pad: Water polishing pads for increased water clarity. The polishing filter pad acts as a water polisher, removing fine debris. Replace every three weeks. Do not clean with soaps or abrasives.
• Biological Filtration: The Bio-Filter Balls and Ceramic Rings provide a large multi-faceted surface area for the growth of beneficial ammonia-neutralizing bacterial responsible for biological filtration.
• Chemical Filtration: Inside the Carbon Filter Bag, Black Diamond Premium Activated Carbon removes odors discoloration and water impurities. Replace Carbon Filter Bag monthly since carbon deactivates with use.
• Mechanical Filtration: The filter foam pads screen out dirt and debris. Marineland filter foam should be cleaned and rinsed every three weeks and replaced every nine weeks. Do not clean with soaps or abrasives.
