Maintenance And Cleaning - Flamingo Swordfish Instrucciones

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING:

• IMPORTANT! Always disconnect the filter from the electrical supply before
removing it from the water or carrying out any maintenance on it!
• SPONGE AND CARBON: Regular cleaning and/or replacement of the filter
sponge and activated carbon on a regular basis is necessary to ensure that
the filter works efficiently. The sponge can be taken out by simply opening
the bottom cap while the plastic carbon box can be pulled out easily
from the other end of the cartridge. The activated carbon must always be
disposed of after usage but the sponge can be cleaned and reused two or
three times before it needs to be replaced. The filter sponge should never be
cleaned with untreated tap water, as the chlorine substance will kill useful
filter bacteria growing on its surface.
• IMPELLER: The impeller unit should be cleaned each time when the sponge
is cleaned or replaced. The impeller unit can be easily removed from its
housing due to this filter's innovative design. Do not use abrasive or caustic
cleaning agents when cleaning the impeller unit.
