General operating description
The EHEIM professionel 3 external filter cleans the aquarium water in a closed loop. The professionel
3 external filter has two suction channels for individual placement of suction areas in
the aquarium. The built-in maintenance-free pump ensures continuous circulation. Water from
the aquarium is passed through several filter layers where it is filtered mechanically, biologically
or by adsorption before flowing back into the aquarium. For the filter to function, air has first
to be removed from the system. This is easily done using the built-in priming aid.
Note:
For optimal filter performance and trouble-free operation, it is essential to use EHEIM
original filter materials (see chapter on Filling of Filter Materials).
