The reactor should be placed in a clean area, free from heavy dirt. Otherwise, dirt could
accumulate in between the filter materials, and the filter sponge reducing the flow rate. In this
case, open the reactor and clean the sponge. It may be necessary to rinse the filter media as well.
In case the reactor is not completely filled with media, it causes it to swirl. In some cases, the so
called fluidized bed method is desired, but with filter media such as phosphate removers it will
heavily cloud the water. This kind of filter media should only be moved, slightly.
In order to prevent cloudiness caused by some filter materials, such as activated carbon or
phosphate remover, simply rinse them with water prior to use with the multi reactors.
The pump needs to be cleaned as required. Disassembly is shown in pictures 4 and 5, and each
part is cleaned individually. Note: Low water level causes the pump to run dry and causes damage
through overheating. If the pump is sucking air, it could result in salt or calcium deposits inside the
impeller housing which results in pump failure.
