Q. What if the Power Filter motor doesn't start or makes a mechanical
noise?
A. Check to make sure impeller blades are free moving on magnet
assembly.
Q. Why won't the Power Filter motor re-start after performing filter
insert maintenance?
A. Make sure unit has been plugged back into power outlet and that
all parts are thoroughly clean and replaced as directed.
(See Power Filter Maintenance.)
Q. What should I do if the priming process doesn't occur?
A. Verifiy that:
• all parts are installed correctly
• filter case is completely filled with water
• unit is plugged into power outlet
• ensure "U" tube lever is set to maximum position
Q. Why is the water cloudy in my new aquarium?
A. Bacterial cloudiness may occur during the first week of a new
aquarium set-up and may last up to six weeks. If the condition
persists, consult your local aquarium professional.
Q. What happens if I forget to clean my filter inserts?
A. If the Power Filter is left unattended for too long, the filter inserts
become clogged with debris. In extreme cases, the filter basket may
be forced up from the filter case due to the pump pressure. This is
an indication that the efficiency of the filtration is very low and
that the filter inserts require immediate rinsing or replacement.
(See Filter Inserts Maintenance.)
Q. When should I operate a reduced flow?
A. Reduced flow is most helpful during feeding times, or when the
input suction or output stream is too strong for small or delicate
fish.
(See How it Works-Patented Refiltration System.)
Q. Why should I use only aquarium water to rinse my filter inserts
after they are installed?
A. Most cities add chlorine or other chemicals to eliminate harmful
bacteria in drinking water for human consumption. These
additives, while harmless to us, are very toxic to fish.
