Bedienungsanleitung
Once properly set up and plugged in, the Fluval AC110 Power Filter will begin circulating and filtering your aquarium water. The filter is designed for continuous operation to maintain water quality.
Durchflussregelung
The Fluval AC110 features an adjustable flow control knob, typically located on the top of the filter unit. This allows you to regulate the water flow rate to suit the needs of your aquarium inhabitants. Turn the knob clockwise to decrease flow and counter-clockwise to increase flow.
Re-priming After Power Outage
Im Falle eines Stromausfallstage, the filter may lose its prime. Once power is restored, if the filter does not restart automatically or if the water flow is weak, unplug the unit, manually fill the filter reservoir with aquarium water, and then plug it back in. This will re-prime the pump.
Wartung
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Fluval AC110 Power Filter and the health of your aquarium.
Wöchentliche Wartung
- Durchflussrate prüfen: Ensure the water flow is consistent and strong. A reduced flow rate may indicate clogged media.
- Clean Pre-filter Sponge: Gently rinse the pre-filter sponge in old aquarium water (removed during a water change) to remove trapped debris. Do not use tap water as chlorine can harm beneficial bacteria.
Monatliche Wartung
- Rinse BioFoam: Lightly rinse the BioFoam insert in old aquarium water. Avoid excessive cleaning to preserve beneficial bacteria.
- Replace Carbon Insert: The carbon insert should be replaced every 2-4 weeks, or as needed, to maintain chemical filtration effectiveness.
- Laufrad reinigen: Unplug the filter and carefully remove the motor unit and impeller. Clean the impeller and its housing with a small brush to remove any debris or mineral buildup.
Alle 2-3 Monate
- Rinse BioMax: Gently rinse the BioMax biological media in old aquarium water. Only clean if visibly clogged, as it houses essential beneficial bacteria.
