BLUCOMPACT 02 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Important! Always disconnect the appliance from the
power supply before removing the fi lter from the water
or carrying out any maintenance work. Over time, the
T
fi ltration material in the fi lter becomes blocked, reducing
o-
the fl ow of water. Regular cleaning and/or replacement
ut
of the sponges is necessary to ensure that the fi lter
n.
operates at peak performance.

Cleaning the fi lter cartridge
d
A special feature of the BLUCOMPACT 02 fi lter is that the
.
part containing the pump does not have to be taken out
of the water for cleaning. Open the fi lter by pressing the
AL
two buttons at the same time as shown in the illustration
(d). Separate the pre-fi lter by moving it forward until it
reaches the position shown. Lift the entire fi lter unit
ce
upwards, then remove the cartridges.
er
Note: The operation described above must be done
carefully, so that the dirt accumulated in the container
ly
does not go into the acquarium.
The fi lter cartridges in special sponge material must be
rinsed at least every 2-3 weeks. After cleaning the fi lter
or
cartridges, close the fi lter unit by following the opening
be
instructions in reverse order.
Replacing the fi lter cartridge
To ensure its eff ectiveness, the cartridge should be
replaced regularly or, in any case, at least every 2-3
ic
months. The replacement fi ltering elements are available
n
at leading retailers.
Replacing the biological fi ltering material
The BLUCOMPACT 02 fi lter has a compartment for the
m
special biological fi ltering material.
be
For its biological activation we recommend that you:
ill
• Place 1 BLUSTART capsule (fi lter activator) in the
st
compartment.
ar
• Wait until the fi lter has matured: the fi rst fi sh should
e
only be introduced 10-12 days after the addition of
if
BLUSTART.
Before doing so, it is in any case advisable to check the
readings of the main water parameters using the special
of
testers available from your retailer, who can also advise
ur
you on the ideal temperature, hardness etc. It is advisable
to repeat these tests regularly.
To
• During the fi lter maturing period, add a small quantity
of dry food each day: this will help the formation of
n
bacterial fl ora.
ur
• When adding the fi sh, insert the remaining capsule of
of
BLUSTART activator.
Note: we recommend not rinsing the biological material
so as to retain the bacterial associations that make it
h
active. As an alternative to the biological material, you
e
can insert special granules of active carbon to remove
e
aromatic and coloured compounds or medicine residues.

Replacement of the biological material and/or active
carbon must be carried out as shown in the illustration
(d).
Cleaning the rotor
The rotor does not need frequent cleaning. Indeed,
thanks to its innovative concept, it only needs to be
cleaned every 4-6 months. Use a soft brush and warm
water for cleaning.
DO NOT use detergents or abrasives.
