Troubleshooting
Blade not removing algae effectively
Ensure the correct blade type is used for the aquarium material (stainless steel for glass, plastic for acrylic). Check if the blade is dull or damaged and replace it if necessary. Ensure the blade is set at the correct angle against the glass.
Scraper is difficult to extend or retract
Check for any debris or obstructions in the telescopic handle mechanism. Rinse the handle with clean water and dry thoroughly before attempting to adjust the length again.
Scratches appearing on acrylic tank
You have likely used the stainless steel blade on acrylic. Immediately switch to the plastic blade attachment for cleaning acrylic surfaces. Always verify the material of your aquarium and use the corresponding blade.
Handle feels loose
Ensure the cleaning head is securely attached to the handle. If the telescopic mechanism is loose, check for any damage or wear and ensure it's fully locked in place.
