4.2. Connecting Hoses and Tubes
- Attach the inlet and outlet tubes to the aquarium. Use the provided suction cups to secure them firmly to the aquarium glass.
- Connect the hoses (12/16 mm) to the inlet and outlet tubes. Ensure a tight fit.
- Connect the other ends of the hoses to the filter unit's inlet and outlet connectors. The connections are 360° swivel for flexible positioning.
- Assurez-vous que tous les raccords de tuyaux sont bien fixés afin d'éviter les fuites.
4.3. Positionnement du filtre

5. Mode d'emploi
5.1. Priming the Filter

- Ensure all hoses are connected and the filter is positioned below the aquarium.
- Open the water stop valves on the filter head.
- Press the quick priming button (usually a large button on top of the filter head) repeatedly until water starts flowing into the filter unit and fills it completely. This eliminates air from the system.
- Once the filter is full of water and no more air bubbles are visible, proceed to start the pump.
5.2. Starting the Filter
- After priming, plug the filter's power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
- The filter pump will start, and water will begin to circulate through the system.
- Check for any leaks around the filter head and hose connections.
- The filter operates with an ultra-quiet performance, providing a flow rate of 700 liters per hour.
