Getting Started - The JUWEL filter system Bioflow M, L, XL
TIPP Notice:
The use of JUWEL bioBoost at the beginning and at every (partial) water change will shorten the running-in phase of your
JUWEL Aquarium inside filter.
You should prepare the filter for operation prior to setting up the aquarium. However,
do not connect the electrical components to the power supply yet.
Please observe the following notes regarding commissioning the JUWEL filter
system Bioflow:
The JUWEL filter system consists of:
- 1 heater (included in complete aquariums only)
- 1 heater holder
- 1 pump
- 1 outlet nozzle
- 2 filter basket
- 3 sets of white filter wool - bioPad, packaged
- 1 carbon sponge - bioCarb, packaged
- 1 green nitrate remover sponge - Nitrax, packaged
- 1 blue filter sponge - bioPlus coarse
- 2 blue filter sponges - bioPlus fine
1. Insert the base of the pump into the pump holder of the filter and firmly push it into
position. In that context, the pump outlet faces in the direction of the outlet opening.
Confirm the proper arrangement of the gasket in the outlet opening (it is used to
minimize the transmission of vibrations).
2. Carefully attach the outlet nozzle from the outside through the opening to the
pump outlet and ensure its firm connection.
3. Insert the heater holder into the guide rail of the filter separation wall.
4. Insert the heater from above into the heater holder.
5. Now start preparing the filter sponges by removing the plastic packaging from the
carbon sponge and the nitrate remover sponge. Thoroughly rinse the blue filter
sponges only under running water.
6. After this, insert the blue "fine" filter sponges into the lower filter basket.
Following that, place the blue "rough" filter sponge, the green nitrate remover
sponge, the carbon sponge, and filter wool in the top position into the upper filter
basket and push both filter baskets into the filter housing.
7. Place the filter cover on the filter housing.
8. The JUWEL filter system Bioflow is now ready for operation.
The JUWEL Aquarium Filter System is a biological filter system. For it to work
effectively, bacteria cultures will need to grow inside the blue sponges. This
process can take up 6-8 weeks for the filter to fully mature. Consequently we
recommend to decorate and plant the aquarium and add just a few (3-5)
hardy fish in order to help the maturation process. Please test the water on a
weekly basis to monitor the water conditions and once the water is safe you
can begin to add more fish.
