Thorough cleaning
-
Remove prefilter, lattice screen, filter pad and all three filter inserts from the filter container.
Rinse filter media in the filter inserts thoroughly under lukewarm running water until water
runs clear. The white filter pad is for mechanical fine filtering. Since the dirt particles that cling to it
can not be completely washed out, the filter pad may only be used once. Use a new filter pad
(Order No. 2616802).
The blue filter pad (Order No. 2616802) can be used two or three times more. Wash out gently
under running water before reinsertion so that some of the bacteria that have colonised it
remain.
Tip:
When changing the SUBSTRAT pro, mix approx. one third of the used filter medium with
the new material so that the bacteria cultures multiply more rapidly.
-
Wash out the filter container then push the filter inserts back in. Press the bottom one on
to the base runners and make sure the other filter inserts fit tightly. Then lay a new filter
pad on the top filter insert. To do this, the handle must be pushed in. Lay the lattice screen
on top and insert the prefilter.
Attention:
-
Check the upper edge of the filter and the gasket in the upper part of the filter for soiling
and damage. If need be, replace the gasket. Spray upper edge of container lightly with
EHEIM Care Spray (Order No. 4001000), replace upper part of filter and close all four clips.
Place filter in cabinet.
-
Reinsert safety adapter (see step 17).
Note:
Check all hose connections at regular intervals to make sure they fit properly.
-
For the container to fill with water, water circulation is reinstated by pressing the primer
several times. Then plug into the mains to begin operation.
Note:
The priming system only works when the prefilter is empty.
Cleaning the hoses
Clean hoses regularly with an EHEIM universal cleaning brush (Order No. 4005570).
Cleaning the pump chamber

Note:
With these devices, magnetic fields can cause electronic or mechanical disturbance or
damage. This can also affect cardiac pacemakers. The safe distances required can be found in
the manuals for these medical appliances.
Attention:

The white filter pad must not be laid beneath the handle of the filter insert.
