General operating description
The EHEIM professionel 3 external lter cleans the aquarium water in a closed loop. The professionel
3 external lter has two suction channels for individual placement of suction areas in
the aquarium. The built-in maintenance-free pump ensures continuous circulation. Water from
the aquarium is passed through several lter layers where it is ltered mechanically, biologically
or by adsorption before owing back into the aquarium. For the lter to function, air has rst
to be removed from the system. This is easily done using the built-in priming aid.
Note: For optimal lter performance and trouble-free operation, it is essential to use EHEIM
original lter materials (see chapter on Filling of Filter Materials).
