sera fil bioactive 130 external filter

Information for use

Please read these instructions carefully and keep for future use.
With this newest generation of external filters, sera
provides crystal clear, biologically clean water in con-
stant quality. Being equipped with the unique filter
medium sera siporax (270 m
liter / US quart) and with sera filter biostart, the filter
becomes immediately active after starting it. The sera
fil bioactive external filters are easy to start and to
clean. They provide low energy consumption, quiet
operation and a long lifetime.
1. Water purification as in nature
Coarse particles are collected by the high quality sera
filter mats (floss) in the mechanical prefiltration step.
Pollutants such as ammonium, nitrite and nitrate are
then broken down by micro organisms in the following
biological filtration step. Only a perfect balance
between mechanical and biological filtration, as in
these new, extremely powerful filter systems, guaran-
tees permanently clear water without much mainte-
nance effort.
S FETY PREC UTION
Disconnect power/mains plug before every mainte-
nance at the filter or the aquarium!

3. ssembly and operation (fig. 4)
ssembly
The sera fil bioactive external filters are completely
pre-assembled except for a few items.
a Put the multi-purpose valve (4.1) into the hollow on
the filter head (4.2) with the multi-purpose handle
(4.3) directed towards the clip, and press the multi-
purpose handle down.
b Push the hoses onto the water intake and outlet
connectors (4.4), then screw the union nuts over the
hose ends until the hoses are firmly fastened.
Operation and biological activation
c First decide on a location for the filter. The filter
must stand lower than the aquarium, e.g. inside an
aquarium cabinet (1).
d For opening the filter, pull the multi-purpose handle
(4.5) of the multi-purpose valve upwards. This will
close the hose valves. Now take the multi-purpose
valve with both hoses off the filter head (do not
bend hoses).
