consult with your local Exo Terra dealer or pet retailer for more
information.
Install filter in desired location, ensuring that the water outlet (located
on the top of the filter) is below the water surface. Ensure that the
water does not contain particulate matter that may enter the filter
and damage the impeller or block its shaft. Connect the power cord
to the electrical outlet. If the unit does not start immediately, verify
that the water level is sufficient to immerse the filter's water outlet
during operation. If problem persists, see the "Trouble-shooting" and
"Maintenance" sections of this manual for further information.
Important:
Caution:
• Disconnect the plug of this and any other submersed appliance
before placing hands in the water.
• The filter must not be allowed to run dry. Check the water level
periodically to ensure is sufficient to immerse filter during
operation. Refill water level as necessary.
Water Treatment:
The water should be treated with Exo Terra Aquatize to remove
chlorine and heavy metals. Adding Exo Terra Biotize will help to keep
the water cleaner longer, as well as promoting necessary beneficial
bacteria and reducing odors associated with decaying waste.
Flow Control:
Adjust the water flow control device on the filter case to increase (+)
or decrease (-) the water flow.
Maintenance:
To avoid injury, always unplug all appliances from the outlet when
not in use; before putting on or taking off parts; and before cleaning.
The motor is hermetically sealed, thereby requiring no lubrication or
maintenance.
The impeller cavity, although it is self cleaning, requires regular
maintenance to remove dirt, slime and debris build-up to ensure
smooth running and to extend the life of the filter. The filter media
(foam pad), impeller, and impeller well (where the impeller is located)
should be cleaned at least once a month, more often if necessary.
Filter media should be replaced every 2 months to ensure proper
functioning of the filter, more often if necessary.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
1. Unplug the filter and remove it from the installation.
2. Separate the intake screen from the filter.
3. Remove the foam pad from the intake screen.
4. Rinse* foam to remove dirt and debris or replace** with
new foam.
5. Remove impeller cover.
6. Grasp the blades of the impeller to pull it out.
7. Thoroughly clean the impeller and the impeller well to remove
slime, dirt or debris.
8. Place the impeller back into the impeller well. Replace the
impeller cover, then re-attach the intake screen to the filter.
