Maintenance Instructions

1. Always unplug any electrical devices associated with the fi lter when performing any
maintenance on the aquarium fi lter.
2. To clean the fi lter bags, remove them from the fi lter and turn inside out. Rinse under
freshwater to dislodge trapped dirt and debris. Soak overnight in a bucket containing 1 part
bleach to 10 parts water.
3. Rinse bags thoroughly under freshwater and then soak in a solution of water and dechlorinator
solution such as Kent
to dry under the sun for 24 hours before use. Many experienced hobbyists will purchase an
additional set of fi lter bags so that one can be in use while the other set is being cleaned.
4. Clean the sump block at least once a month by rinsing under freshwater and replacing to
remove trapped dirt and debris.
5. Maintain the water level in the sump by adding only freshwater to the system to compensate
for water lost due to evaporation. Salt does not evaporate! Saltwater should not need to be
added unless water is being removed from the aquarium during a water change.
6. Salt creep and salt spray are inevitable results of any marine fi ltration system. Wipe down the
exterior of the sump and any accessories with a clean cloth dampened with warm freshwater
to remove any salt crust from surfaces on or around the fi lter regularly. The spread of salt creep
can be reduced by application of Coralife
7. Keep electrical connections away from salt, salt creep and water.
