Cleaning your filter

1. Turn the canister filter off at the socket and

unplug.

2. Turn both of the taps to the off position. Fig 1

Off

3. Place a towel or a shallow container under

the canister unit. This will prevent any water

spilling onto your cabinet or stand and

damaging it.

4. Disconnect the taps from the head unit by

unscrewing them. Undo the collar closest to the

head of the filter. Not the ones on the same side

as the hose. Please note some water will leak

out. Fig 2

5. Fill a bucket with water from your aquarium

and take it to the sink or wherever you intend to

clean your filter. Keep in mind cleaning your

filter can be messy, cleaning is recommended

outside or at a sink. Ensure the area is clean

and free from soaps and detergents.

6. Open the canister. Release the 4 clips and

remove the head unit, place it somewhere safe

where it will not be trodden on or broken.

7. Remove the filter grid, extend the handles on

the media baskets and remove them from the

canister body. Fig 3

8. Remove the filter sponges and the white

wool from the media baskets and dunk the

Fig 1

baskets with the bioballs and ceramic noodles

(Or any other type of biological media which

may be in them) several times into the bucket.

This will clear some of the dirt that can build up

and clog the media and prevent the good

bacteria which aid in breaking down pollutants

in your aquarium from being killed by the

chlorine in tap water.

9. Either replace or rinse the white wool pad

using a high pressure hose. It should be

replaced regularly or when it begins to

deteriorate and can no longer be cleaned

properly.

10. The sponges can also be rinsed in the

bucket of aquarium water (Providing the water

is not dirty. Replace if necessary) they will also

require replacement eventually as over time

they clog and prevent water from traveling

through them easily.

11. Empty the bucket of aquarium water into the

canister body. (Avoid tipping any dirt which may

Fig 2

have settled on the bottom of the bucket into

the canister)

12. If you have a Aquis 500 or 1000 your

bioballs are located here. Simply swirl the filter

around to loosen and dirt on the bioballs off and

then empty the canister body ensuring the

bioballs do not fall out.

13. Place the sponges back into there

respective positions and reinsert the media

baskets back into the canister body ensuring

that each media basket sits nicely on top of the

other.
