filter design and filtration media options. The
combinationprovidesmaximumexibilitywhen
managing the aquatic environment. See Filter Media
Options Section for more information on the types
of Fluval G and Fluval brand media available.
QUALITY FEATURES
Push Button Instant-
Priming System
With the Fluval G, there
is no need for manual
siphoning. You can draw
water into the system
by simply pushing the
priming button down all
the way two to three
times in quick
succession.Aswaterowsthroughtheintakehos-
ing, it will fill the canister, pushing air out of its way.
Any remaining air will be expelled through the output
nozzle, causing the water in the aquarium to bubble.
Telescopic Intake Stem
and Clog-Proof Strainer
The telescopic intake
tube adjusts to different
aquarium depths and
the adjustable and rotat-
able Fluval G intake strainer is designed to siphon
water quickly. Covered by a multi-lamella screen
designed to repel debris, it is virtually clog-proof,
so there is a lesser chance of a solids build-up that
couldinterferewithwaterow.Theintakestrainer
is also modularized - meaning you can add additional
ones to have the intake go along behind plants or
rocks. Each strainer snaps together at the ball joints
so that you can turn them to the desired angle as
you wish. The end of the intake has been capped for
nearly an inch up from the bottom to avoid sucking
up the sand or gravel bed.
Output Nozzles/Spray Bars
The output nozzles or spray bars swivel on a “Y”
connector and can be adjusted to send streams
of clean water toward all corners of the aquarium,
ensuring maximum circulation. Agitating the water
this way creates currents that carry the debris until
it can be drawn into the filter by the intake strainer.
With more waste solids kept suspended in the water,
fewer settle keeping the bottom surfaces and the
entire aquarium cleaner.
AQUASTOP System
The AQUASTOP system
makes maintenance
easy, allowing you to
stopthewaterow
by simply bringing the
AQUASTOP valve lever
into an upright position.
By completely lifting
the release lever, the
AQUASTOP assembly can be removed from the filter
without separating the hosing. The AQUASTOP valve
levercanalsobeusedtoregulatethewaterow
with no harm to the motor or its components.
Rim Attachments
For extra quick setup,
the innovative rim at-
tachments easily slide
over any aquarium rim
up to 32mm 1.25” in
width and securely hold
the intake and output
assemblies in place.
Zama Lid Fasteners
Chrome plated cast
ZAMA levers provide a
strong and secure seal
and do not corrode or
oxidize even when in
contact with salt water.
They are made of Zamak
which provide superior
strength and integrity.
