Entretien
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Aqueon QuietFlow filter and the health of your aquarium.
Remplacement de la cartouche filtrante
The filter cartridge should be replaced approximately every 4 weeks, or when the LED indicator light begins to flash, signaling reduced water flow due to clogging.

- Installer une nouvelle cartouche : Insert a new Medium Aqueon Replacement Filter Cartridge into the slot. Ensure it is seated properly.
- Do NOT Clean Bio-Holster: C'est important pas to clean the Bio-Holster (the blue plastic frame holding the cartridge) when replacing the cartridge, as it contains beneficial biological bacteria essential for your aquarium's ecosystem.
- Replace Cover and Restart: Replace the filter cover and plug the filter back into the power outlet. The filter will self-prime and resume operation.

Specialty Filter Pads
Aqueon Specialty Filter Pads can be used in conjunction with the main filter cartridge to address specific water quality issues, such as absorbing excess ammonia, pollutants, or phosphates. Replace these pads as needed based on water test results or visual observation of water clarity.

Nettoyage de la turbine
If the filter's flow rate significantly decreases or the pump becomes noisy, the impeller may need cleaning. Unplug the filter, remove the intake tube, and carefully remove the impeller from its housing. Clean the impeller and its chamber with a small brush to remove any debris or mineral buildup. Reassemble and restart the filter.
