Prefilter
Function: The prefilter collects coarse dirt from the aquarium water so that the water that flows
through the filter inserts has been pre-filtered. This substantially reduces the amount of dirt that
reaches the filter inserts and guarantees highly efficient biological decomposition of pollutants
and a long service life. The prefilter can easily be removed. To make interim cleaning even
easier, the scope of delivery includes a dish for transporting the prefilter.

Insert prefilter with blue filter pad in the filter container so that that the overflow area is
above the partition.
Note:
The priming system only functions when the prefilter is empty.
