How to Use This Hang-On Filter
- Assemble or rinse the filter cartridge and sponge as per instructions, then insert into the V-shaped slots in the filter chamber.
- Attach the intake tube (without strainer) into the intake chamber, ensuring proper seating within the guide ribs.
- Hang the filter unit on the tank’s rim, install the strainer and extensions to achieve ideal water intake depth (1" above gravel for regular, 3" for cichlids, 6" for goldfish).
- Fill the intake chamber with water until overflow into the filter chamber occurs, then secure the lid and adjust flow to maximum.
- Top off tank water to within 0.5–1" of the filter’s spillway, plug in the unit—operation should begin within 30 seconds. If not, adjust intake tube position slightly.
- Periodically inspect and replace filter media as needed to maintain optimal water quality.
Care & Maintenance Tips
- Rinse sponge media in aquarium water during water changes to preserve beneficial bacteria.
- Replace carbon or chemical media as per usage intensity—typically every 4–6 weeks.
- Clean impeller and intake tube monthly to prevent clogging and noise.
- Keep intake clearance appropriate (above gravel) to avoid substrate ingestion.
- Ensure power switch is off before removing filter for maintenance to avoid splash and potential damage.
