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.
