A clogged impeller is often the primary cause of all filter faults, so it is extremely
important to clean and inspect your impeller every month to ensure it is
functioning correctly and remove any debris. Keeping the impeller clean will
improve the performance of your filter and lengthen the life of the motor. The
impeller itself is a perishable part and will be subject to wear and tear overtime.
As a result, it is also very important to replace your impeller and ceramic shaft
annually.
Switch off your filter at the mains and unplug the unit. Pour out water from
inside the HO+ filter.
Remove your HO+ filter from your aquarium.
Detach the motor from the filter unit by gently squeezing both pressure
points on either side of the motor, pulling the motor downwards at the same
time . (image 1).
Lay the motor on a flat surface with bulb facing upwards. (image 2)
To clean the impeller, remove the base of the motor and clear any debris or
residue. The impeller 'fan' piece should rotate half way and stop. If it can
rotate completely 360 degrees then the impeller is damaged and will need
replacing. (image 3)
Reattach the motor to the filter unit, taking care to guide the metal pin back
into the hole for the UV bulb. You should hear the motor click into place.

Return your filter into your aquarium and switch back on.
Note: Handle the ceramic shaft with care as this can break very easily during
the cleaning process.
