CHEMICAL FILTER MAINTENANCE
The type of chemical media used will determine
how often the chemical filter must be replaced. For
example, carbon becomes saturated quickly and
needs to be replaced once every 30 days at the very
latest. See Filter Media in the Filter Media Options
Section for more information on the recommended
types of media available.
In between monthly replacements, the chemical cup
should also be rinsed out using aquarium water to
remove any impurities.
Equipment needed: Towel, bucket.
TO CLEAN THE FILTER:
1. Unplug the filter from the electrical supply.
2. Open the cartridge
lid. The silver
AQUASTOP valve lever
must be completely up
and the black
AQUASTOP release
lever must be completely
pushed down in order to
open the lid.
If the AQUASTOP lever is not fully lifted, the valve
may still be open and cause the water to spill from
the filter when the cartridge is removed.
3. Remove the chemical filter cartridge, located on
the right (when facing the filter), by turning the
knob counter-clockwise from the “ ” position
the “ ” position.
4. Carefully lift up the cartridge so the excess water
stays in the cartridge and doesn’t spill back into
the filter. The bottom cup acts as a dirt
receptacle, and this water needs to be emptied
into a bucket or sink. DO NOT POUR THIS
WATER BACK INTO THE FILTER.
5. To avoid water spilling, place the entire cartridge
assembly inside a bucket before proceeding.
6. Release the chemical cartridge cup from the
assembly head by pushing against one of the two
marked black clips located in the middle of the
cartridge.
7. While pressing the clips, pull the cup
downwards.
