6.2. Rolling Filtration System
To keep the lters working properly and ensure the best water con-
ditions in the aquarium, Askoll recommends that you replace the
sponges and cartridges according to a specic maintenance sched-
ule, the Rolling Filtration System (RFS).
This is very easy to do with the original Askoll maintenance kits,
available from your retailer (see product code in Chap. 9).
Two kits are available:
• Askoll PURE FILTER MEDIA KIT M-L-XL, containing 1 me-
chanical ltration sponge and 2 3ACTION cartridges (1 kit per
month for PURE M and PURE L aquariums, 2 for the PURE XL
aquarium);
and:
• Askoll PURE FILTER MEDIA KIT M-L-XL CONVENIENT, con-
taining 4 mechanical ltration sponges and 8 3ACTION cartridg-
es (1 kit every 4 months for PURE M and PURE L aquariums, 1
every 2 months for the PURE XL aquarium);
Replace the sponges and cartridges as follows:
1) After disconnecting the plug of each electric device, open the
lter cover.
2) Remove the sponges and cartridges and dispose of them ac-
cording to local regulations.
3) Replace the sponges and cartridges at the specied intervals
(par. 6.1).
4) Close the lter cover.
The Askoll PURE
LED
timer will remind you every 15 days (icon
ashing) to replace the 3ACTION cartridge/s (Rolling Filtration Timer
– RFT). To turn off the RFT indication, simply press .
To turn off the RFT function, refer to par. 5.1.1. - E.
6.3. Cleaning and servicing the pump unit
1) After disconnecting the plug of each electric device, remove the
lter cover and extract the pump unit cable from the fairlead seat
and cable guide.
2) Extract the pump unit (g. 21).
3) Detach the intake tube and delivery tube (with delivery) from the
volute (g. 22).
4) If necessary, replace the pump (dispose of it as indicated in
Chap. 10), otherwise go to the next step.
5) Turn the pump volute counterclockwise to remove it, then extract
the impeller (g. 23).
6) Rinse the impeller under running water (g. 24).
7) Clean the impeller’s seat carefully with a non-abrasive brush
(g. 25).
8) If necessary, also clean the intake tube, delivery tube and deliv-
ery under running water.
9) Reassemble and restore the pump carefully along with the other
components, proceeding in the reverse order to the disassembly
procedure.
6.4. Cleaning the lighting unit
1) After disconnecting the plug of the lighting unit, remove the lter
cover and the light cover.
2) Place the covers on a surface protected with a cloth so as not
to scratch them.
