Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed, the Eheim Filter Media Set operates passively within your external filter. The pre-filter pad provides mechanical filtration by capturing larger debris, while the filter fleeces offer finer mechanical filtration and a surface for beneficial bacteria to colonize, contributing to biological filtration. Ensure your filter is running continuously for optimal water quality.

Manteniment

Regular maintenance of your filter media is essential for maintaining a healthy aquarium environment and ensuring the longevity of your filter. The frequency of cleaning and replacement depends on your aquarium's bioload and the specific filter model.

  • Neteja: The filter pads and fleeces can be cleaned by gently rinsing and squeezing them out in old aquarium water (not tap water, as chlorine can kill beneficial bacteria). This removes trapped debris without completely eliminating beneficial bacteria.
  • Substitució: Over time, filter media will degrade and become less effective. Replace the pre-filter pad and filter fleeces as recommended by your Eheim external filter's manual, or when they appear heavily soiled and cleaning no longer restores their effectiveness.

Resolució de problemes

If you notice a decrease in your filter's performance, such as reduced water flow or cloudy water, the filter media may be clogged or require replacement.

  • Flux reduït: Check the pre-filter pad first, as it is designed to capture larger particles and can become clogged more quickly. Clean or replace as necessary.
  • Aigua ennuvolada: If water remains cloudy after cleaning the pre-filter, the finer filter fleeces may be saturated. Consider cleaning or replacing them.
  • Rendiment general: Always ensure all filter components are correctly assembled and seals are intact after maintenance. Refer to your main filter manual for comprehensive troubleshooting steps related to the filter unit itself.
