FAQs

What is the purpose of the 'Xtender' button?

The 'Xtender' button allows you to bypass a clogged fine filter media stage, redirecting flow to maintain biological filtration and extend the time between full filter cleanings.

How often should I clean the filter media?

Cleaning frequency depends on tank load and media type. Generally, clean when flow noticeably reduces or the 'Xtender' button is engaged. Aim to rinse media in old aquarium water to preserve beneficial bacteria.

Can I use this filter for saltwater aquariums?

No, this model is designed specifically for freshwater aquariums.

What is the warranty period for this filter?

Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Do I need a separate heater?

No, the 'T' in 350T signifies that this model includes an integrated heater, so a separate one is not required.

How do I set the temperature for the integrated heater?

The temperature is typically set via a dial or electronic control on the filter unit itself. Consult your user manual for precise instructions.

What is the maximum tank size this filter is suitable for?

This model, the 350T, is designed for aquariums up to 350 liters.

Troubleshooting

Filter is not pumping water

Ensure the filter is fully primed, check that all hose connections are secure and not kinked, and verify the unit is plugged in and powered on.

Reduced water flow

Clean the filter media and check the intake strainer for blockages. Engage the 'Xtender' button if media is fine and clogged, but full cleaning may be required.

Heater not maintaining temperature

Verify the set temperature on the unit and ensure it is correctly plugged in. Check the thermometer in the aquarium to confirm actual water temperature. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Filter is noisy

Check that the filter is level and stable. Ensure the impeller is clean and free of debris. Verify all components are properly assembled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the filter is placed below the aquarium water level. Connect the inlet and outlet hoses securely using the safety hose adapter. Prime the filter using the integrated priming aid. Install filter media in the correct order as per the manual. Once connected and primed, plug in the power. The heater will automatically begin maintaining the set temperature.

Compatibility: Suitable for freshwater aquariums up to 350 liters. Ensure you have adequate space around the filter for ventilation and access. Use appropriate Eheim filter media for best results.

Care: Regularly check the filter intake for blockages. Clean filter media as needed, typically when the 'Xtender' button is engaged or output significantly drops. Rinse media in *dechlorinated* aquarium water to preserve beneficial bacteria. Clean the filter housing and impeller annually. Check the heater element periodically for signs of wear.
