the LCD. Additionally, media cleaning intervals can be scheduled with the on board alert system.
The Fluval G Filter offers a unique, contemporary and innovative cubic design, combining enormous filtration
capacity with an extended contact time. Due to its compact shape, the Fluval G can be housed in almost
any aquarium cabinet. The other incomparable ease-of-use features include an “efficient” primer, AQUASTOP
valves that enable you to handle routine maintenance without breaking the system’s vacuum and
disassembling the hoses, user-friendly rim connectors, a clog-proof intake strainer, two return options and
large capacity filter baskets for highly efficient biological filtration.
For complete understanding of your Fluval G Filter, please read and follow these instructions on proper
installation, maintenance, service and use. Failure to do so may result in loss of fish life and/or damage
to the filter.
System Overview
The Fluval G filter siphons water and suspended debris through its clog-proof intake strainer, first sending it
through the pleated pre-filtration cartridge where most suspended solids are trapped. The powerful pump
then draws the water through the chemical media cartridge (several chemical media inserts are available
for your aquarium’s specific needs).Fromtherethewaterowsthroughthebiologicalltrationbaskets,
