Cleaning Your Filter/Trouble - Aqua One Nautilus 600 Manual De Instrucciones

Cleaning your filter

inlet tube which runs through the base of the head unit.

17. Pull the rubber end cap off the shaft of the impeller
and run water through the hole in the middle of the
impeller. Clean any debris which may have built up
on the shaft off, along with any slime build up on the
impeller. Fig 6
Impeller
18. Put the impeller back together and ensure that it
rotates freely on the shaft. Then reassemble the head
unit, ensure there is no water on the power cord, plug
the head unit in and turn on. Make certain the impeller
is spinning. Turn it off. Reassemble the filter unit. Apply
an aquarium safe lubricant to the O-ring on the head
unit. This will provide a better water seal and make the
removal of the head easier next time the filter has to be
disassembled for maintenance.
19. Check your inlet, outlet tubes and hoses. If residue
has built up on the inside of them remove them from the aquarium. Take to the sink, run hot water through them
to loosen the slime. Run a double ended pipe brush
through them, and flush again with hot water. This build
up will reduce the flow rate of your filter considerably,
so clean when ever it is possible.
20. Return the canister filter to your cabinet or stand
and reattach the taps.
21. Refer to the section in this instruction manual
