Installation and Operation (picture

Unpack the filter cartridge and
place it together with the filter foam
as shown on the picture (attention:
The green side of the filter cartridge
has to point at the front side of the
filter. The front of the foam grid is
marked with "Front" and should
point towards the front of the filter).
The outlet of the filter should be
placed above the water surface.
The distance between filter and
the gravel on the bottom of the
aquarium should be at least 2.5
cm (picture 2). If you have placed
plants or other objects in the
aquarium the distance to the filter
housing should be at least 15 mm.

Care and Maintenance

®
Important: Unplug the unit from
the mains before carrying out any
maintenance activities.
Cleaning
®
For crystal clear water the filter
®
cartridge (EasyCrystal FilterPack)
should be replaced every 4 weeks.
In order to change the EasyCrystal
FilterPack cartridge (C) unplug
the power plug, simply replace
the cartridge and plug in the filter
again. That's it! (see picture 5 and 6)
®
®
EasyCrystal FilterPack replace-
ment cartridges are available at
your local retailer.
If you add remedies for the fish
into the water please use an
®
EasyCrystal FilterPack cartridge
without activated carbon,
activated carbon reduces the
effect of most remedies. These
filter cartridges are available at
your local retailer.
®
The EasyCrystal Filter BioFoam
(D) should be cleaned only rarely. If
the filter foam is clogged take it out
of the housing and rinse it out – use
water taken from the aquarium for
this as tap water will kill many of the
useful bacteria on the filter.
Do not use soap or cleaning agents
as their residues could be harmful
for the fish.
Do not use sand in the aquarium
when the EasyCrystal
®
installed.
If the motor of the filter is very
noisy unplug the filter and take it
out of the aquarium. Pull off the
motor housing (E) and remove the
®
impeller. (see picture 7) Rinse out
the pump and clean the impeller.
After cleaning replace the impeller
and reassemble the motor housing
to the filter unit. Install the filter in
the aquarium again and plug in the
unit.
When adding tap water to the
aquarium you should add Tetra
®
AquaSafe
substances that are harmful to fish
such as chlorine and heavy metals.
